Burgh Gourmand: Union Pig and Chicken in East Liberty

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2012/03/union-pig-and-chicken-in-east-liberty.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Thursday, March 15, 2012. Union Pig and Chicken in East Liberty. Veteran Pittsburgh chef Kevin Sousa has opened Union Pig and Chicken on Highland Avenue in East Liberty, just a stone's throw from his Station Street Hot Dogs. And not far from his other place, Salt of the Earth. Kevin took the time to show me around and talk with me about his food. I will be adding more to this post as I'm able and as I enjoy more of the food here. I've tasted changes over the course of.

Burgh Gourmand: Why Food Tastes Better In Pittsburgh

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2011/01/why-food-tastes-better-in-pittsburgh.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Friday, January 28, 2011. Why Food Tastes Better In Pittsburgh. This couple served food from a truck on Carson St. for over a decade. Now indoors at Cambodi-can Kitchen. Pizza at Winghart's in Market Square. They make a killer burger too. This man shares well-crafted food in a tremendously comfortable dining room. An English reader shared a ploughman's lunch with me after I tweeted about Irish Cheddar :). I propose that largely it's the people that make Pittsburgh an at...

Burgh Gourmand: Winghart's in Market Square

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2011/04/recent-eats-in-pittsburgh.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Winghart's in Market Square. The Shipwreck burger on a side of fries. Waiting for over an hour in Parking Court, for nothing. Wingharts in the corner of Market Square Downtown. The "Crew" from my second visit. Blue (left) and Captain (right). Though I didn't taste the pizza, I saw great care being put into their production. The line of people were patient and smiling and the wait was not long. My online friend bumped into me and we sta...So, I...

Burgh Gourmand: Crate & Barrel Ross Park & White Cheddar Kettle Popcorn

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2010/12/popcorn-boxes-for-10-crate-barrel.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Crate and Barrel Ross Park and White Cheddar Kettle Popcorn. Much better than Ikea in my opinion. More expensive, but nicer. Feeling like a bull in a wine glass shop as I took this. Short on money ( after too many $1 tacos. And too many gifts for the nephews, I restrained myself to the purchase below: old fashioned folding popcorn boxes (as seen in the movie Diner. And a 1.5lb jar of Midnight Popcorn (both "on sale" for $5.99). This used to be...

Burgh Gourmand: McDonalds, Paris and Children

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2011/01/mcdonalds-and-paris-and-children.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Monday, January 10, 2011. McDonalds, Paris and Children. Actual advertisement in the Paris Metro. (2002-2003). You may have heard that McDonalds is being. Sued by a mother in Sacramento. Over its marketing of. Food marketing geared toward children is impossible to avoid. During the holidays we see ads featuring snowmen, reindeer and other animated furries in "aww shucks" low-risk advertising. It's cute; it's charming, and I tune it out. Legendary food market used to be.

Burgh Gourmand: Smoke Barbecue Taqueria in Homestead

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2012/01/smoke-barbeque-taqueria.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Smoke Barbecue Taqueria in Homestead. My favorite. The pork taco with apricot habanero sauce and caramelized onion. If you follow me on Twitter, you know this place counts for about 40% of my chatter. And Las Palmas in Brookline. Yes, Homestead; the other side of the railroad tracks. The part without the new box stores and Disney façades. Eighth Ave. between Amity and Anne, across the street from the vegetarian Tin Front Cafe. Not to mention ...

Burgh Gourmand: Espresso A Mano in Lawrenceville

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2010/11/lets-start-with-cup-of-coffee.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Espresso A Mano in Lawrenceville. A man sharing great coffee. Hand brewed and specifically hand-poured coffee has been around forever. Among enthusiasts and baristas, it's a passion and craft, and taken quite seriously. Even to the level of competition. Many local coffee shops offer pour over brewing for some, if not all of their coffee. My favorite is Espresso A Mano. A sweet cup of Counter Culture's Aida's Grand Reserve. Espresso a Mano, an...

Burgh Gourmand: Smiling Banana Leaf in Highland Park

http://burghgourmand.blogspot.com/2012/03/smiling-banana-leaf-in-highland-park.html

Writing about food and Pittsburgh. Friday, March 23, 2012. Smiling Banana Leaf in Highland Park. I like Thai food, a lot. We're lucky in Pittsburgh to have nearly a dozen solid Thai restaurants. (I visited Urban Spoon and 41 Pittsburgh area restaurants tagged as "Thai". I've been to other medium sized cities where this is just not the case. Pittsburgh even had quite a selection of Thai cuisine twenty years ago- did you know that Mad Mex on McKnight Road was built on a former Thai spot called "T2? Subscri...
