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. |
Cure in Lawrenceville. 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 :) |
Mrs. Kwon at The Golden Pig in Cecil, PA. She moved from Korea to Pittsburgh to be closer to her son's family. He suggested she open a restaurant. It's great, by the way. |
Where is this? First person to email me the correct answer I'll buy one of his pizzas. |
Great food is being shared in this town. If you haven't noticed it, take a little trip to some of the places I talk about. Call up someone you haven't seen in a while, take your time and make a meal of it.
This couple owns Killian's Pub on Freeport Rd. They share great grilled food and more. |
OK. So where does this infamous "Lucy the bahn-mi lady" set up shop? I've been to The Strip (and every corner) time-and-time again (and at different days/hours of the week) in an effort to find her, to no avail.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think she is a figment of the 'Burgher's imagination.
Lucy the Banh Mi lady is Vietnamese, not Korean. Typo. I'll go back and fix that. And she's in Vietnam right now...she told me she'll come back when the weather breaks.
ReplyDeleteOh, and back in the 90's I spent a few days in Milwaukee visiting a friend at Marquette. They like their food too.!
There are foods and eating experiences I love in other cities like New York, but the people of Pittsburgh are more open and giving than any I have met.
ReplyDeleteI spy the folks from Pittsburgh Marshmallow Factory ;) The Public Market has been the best thing to come to the "Burgh since Mancini's Sliced Bread.
ReplyDeleteGolden Pig is so dang good. So good... reminded me of the careful touch and knowledge-sharing I had when I went to Josza's.
