Review: Juice Box Cafe
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
I think I have a new Pittsburgh favorite in the Juice Box Cafe. This is actually the tail of my queue—my most recent restaurant visit. I’m bumping it to the top of the order because they really deserve it. My backlogged posts tend to go up in priority order anyway.
There’s a funny story in this [...]
Review: Dinette
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
Dinette is one of those places that just about everyone has told me I need to hit up, but yet I knew very little about. Part of that is because they’re in a part of town I don’t frequent all that often (East Liberty), and part of that is because they’re pretty well hidden even [...]
Review: Yo Rita
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
Yo Rita. I have no idea what the name suggests, but it’s been on the tip of every Pittsburgh foodie’s tongue for more than a year now. Somewhat surprisingly, I had never made my way out there. Then, just when I was gearing up to make it my next stop, I realized that it ranked [...]
Review: Abay Ethiopian Cuisine
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
Pittsburgh is home to a wealth of small ethnic restaurants—most of them independently owned, and nearly all of them at least worth a visit. Having previously been scheduling most of my outings for the Pittsburgh Beer Meetup, those establishments just didn’t come up. On the other hand, the newly created The FoodBurgh Meetup brings a [...]
Review: Fajita Grill (Ellsworth)
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
At some point, one of my readers recommended a FoodBurgh visit to Fajita Grill. When the request first came in, I snooped around the web a little and didn’t know what to think. Given the association with Si Senior, I suspected large-ish (but delicious) burritos and wraps—just like the ones I remember from my CMU [...]
Review: The 509 Cafe (Greenfield)
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
Just weeks ago, I got word of a new restaurant right in my own backyard of Greenfield. Then, just recently, I noticed Connect Greenfield the Greenfield Org was hosting an event there in December. I’m always interested in checking out new restaurants I can walk to, but that can be hit or miss in my [...]
Review: Piper’s Pub (South Side)
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
You all realize I’m a beer snob, right? A big part of my selection criteria for seeking out my next dining destination is based on beer selection. That’s not to say beer alone is sufficient (or even that it’s necessary)—it’s just a big part of my selection criteria.
…which leads me to Pipers Pub.
I made my [...]
Review: Blue Dust
Posted by mike | Filed under Beer, Reviews
Last week, I went back to Blue Dust for a chance to order dinner and give them a proper review. I was absolutely floored. If you haven’t been to this place, you need to go. It’s the best meal you’ll get for the money anywhere in the city.
…and, no, I don’t care that they’re next [...]
