Discover the Burgh

Got to thank Alton Brown for being the first person we knew of who talked science and food. As chemical engineers and food fanatics, he influenced us a lot growing up.

Such a treat to meet an icon in Sewickley today, even for a few minutes.

It is always a good day when you can get Stuntpig. Just be sure to add the pig wings on as a side.

Gotta go see a park about a slide.

A Drink Has No Name at Acacia is... perfect. Tequila, mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde, Bordiga Centum Herbis, Grand Marnier, lime, celery shrub, orange express, salt.

Just perfect. No notes. I want another.

Feast time at Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. Will never say no to more dumplings in Pittsburgh. Admittedly, some could be better. But also, dumplings!

Ending the night with some classic cocktails at Co-Sign Speakeasy. Cool entry mechanism here. (Get a res!)

Fish fry season is here. Up first this year, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Parish in Homestead.

Pupusas y Antojitos Helen serves up some delicious Salvadoran food next door to Abjuration Brewing. Beer and pupusas with bonus tacos? Win!

Sometimes a food truck blows you away such that you'll wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it.

We expect that to happen tonight after trying Cold Friends Kitchen. Wow.

That pork belly app. Holy pig. 🤯

Oh Noodlehead. ❤️

I got a chance to check out the progress of the new land side terminal at PIT as part of a media tour today. I am so excited. This new infrastructure is just stunning!

But as a frequent flyer, I am most excited about how convenient it is going to be with faster baggage, walking to the gate, etc.

Getting some ski runs in at Seven Springs before the warm weather and rain come in. #hosted

Did we order the entire menu at Many More Asian Grocery's food stand today? I think we did. One entire duck please!

Somehow Apteka's Crapteka vegan burger popup gets better every single year. The Coyote Burger and Swamp Burger were our two favorites to date and we go every single year.

Don't sleep on the sunflower seed shakes either. Wow.

Our friend Jeff Bertrand had an art show at East End Mt Lebo last night that was a ton of fun. His art will be on the walls for the next few weeks!

We got a chance to try their 20th anniversary hopplebock (a hopped dopplebock, not pictured) and it may have been one of the finest beers they've made.

A nice sushi spread from Little Tokyo in Mt. Lebo. The scallop roll on the left was a standard for us by far.

It has been far too long since my last visit to Laurel Mountain. This is truly a ski paradise.

Not big. Very few amenities. Just a stunning hill, long runs, and a whole lot of fun. Honestly reminded me of a back bowl at Vail at times.

Definitely not trying the Lower Wildcat though. Steepest in PA!

One by Spork is by far the most expensive meal we have had in Pittsburgh (x2). But also, wow.

We need some great prix fixe dining, and I believe we have just that.

We can't wait to share more from this one in a much longer post. All we know is we are ready for another reservation.

Still finding new (to us) museums after 9.5 years. FINALLY making it to The Maridon Museum in Butler. Such a fun collection and just a $4 entry fee.

Winter Heat at the Carnegie Museum of Art was a ton of fun tonight. Will always take any reason to get into a museum at night! (#hosted)

Admittedly, we were quite obsessed with the lights on these statues. So cool!

Had to take the drone up for some aerial views. The ice looks so cool from above!

Had to head down to the North Shore to catch the ice there.

The ice may be gone from the rest of the rivers but the view from the West End is still lovely!
