𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄... ...you can make brunch at home too? It's a crazy idea. I know. But I woke up yesterday and said to myself "I want a waffle today!" So I made a waffle. Then topped it with some bacon, powdered sugar and syrup for a great lazy at home brunch.

Like seriously today. The day I posted this. @coopdevillepgh is popping up at @porknbeans_pgh with their fried chicken sandwich goodness. This is their Nashville Hot. I feel it has just the right spicy level for flavor but not set your mouth on fire. With any luck, the permanent location will actually be open soon. Hopefully. Please!

I love that @pghrestaurantwk usually requires me to have dessert with my dinner. The tiramisu and cannoli from @garbarinopgh were both so good. I was happy to get a chance to try both of them. I would not be disappointed having to eat either of them.

Yesterday I was invited over to a friend's place to eat some fantastic homemade pizzas. The first is topped with sweet potato and leek and the second is topped with mushroom and artichoke. They tasted great even if they were not my usual choice of lots of cheese and meats. Even though I didn't make these, I'm really getting into the home pizza fad. Not that it will stop me from getting pizza elsewhere.

My spent my other @pghrestaurantwk dinner this week at @eddiemerlots. This was definitely an upscale steakhouse experience type of place with a good meal all around. A quality ribeye, fantastic king crab bisque and a nice piece of chocolate cake.

I finally visited @garbarinopgh this week for @pghrestaurantwk. Friends and I ordered a whole bunch of different things off of what must be the largest restaurant week menu in Pittsburgh. I really loved my hearty Italian Sausage with greens and beans soup and my Rigatoni Siciliana main dish. They basically had a flavor combination for anyone's taste palette. This is one restaurant I'll want to visit again even when it's not restaurant week.

My brain isn't working enough now to right a clever caption. Instead just look for a minute at this Banh Mi from @cinderlandswarehouse. It has thick slices of pork belly with lots of pickles veggies. Really filled me up before drinking a bunch of beer.

I checked out @zorrospgh last week as part of my quest to visit more South Hills restaurant near my house. Zorros has an awesome lunch special and delicious Cuban sandwich. I'm very excited to go back for lunch again, happy hour and other meals.

While recording the @yajagoff podcast this weekend we sampled some @wahlburgers Wahl Bowl salads and the pulled pork fries appetizer. I was impressed with how they turned some of their burgers and sandwiches into a healthier alternative. --
Also another reminder I'm on this week's episode of Ya Jagoff Podcast. Go give it a listen!

I wanted to give a shout out to one of my favorite lunches in Pittsburgh @baebaeskitchen for getting listed on the @yelp Best Places to Eat in 2020 list. That's a well deserved accomplishment. I've been a fan of the food at this fast casual restaurant since they opened and even wrote a blog about how I loved their food. This meal is their Korean Fried Chicken with Glass Noodles I had for lunch a couple weeks ago. It's definitely my go to dish there.

I was so excited to record the @yajagoff Podcast the other day a @wahlburgers at The Mall at Robinson. I got to try out this awesome Smashed Pierogi Burger with a pierogi, government cheese, onions and Heinz 57 sauce. It was a fantastic combination of Pittsburgh flavors. Before eating this burger, I talked with #yajagoffpodcast about being a food blogger in Pittsburgh. It was a great time all around! The podcast is out now and linked in the bio.

After the last few years of birthdays being filled with alcohol and debauchery I decided this year needed to be a little more relaxed. I got myself some takeout and some pastries from #PotomacBakery. I'm going to spend this evening on my couch, eat this chocolate cake with buttercream covered in chocolate ganache, sip my #Blantons, watch a movie and pass out. It sounds amazing!

I enjoyed a very large brunch with a very large group of friends this morning at the @whitfieldpgh. Even I found this giant plate of 4 biscuits and mushroom gravy to almost be a challenge to finish. Almost. It was nicely paired with pea shoots and scallions to make it healthy. I would definitely get this dish again!

I spent the first part of my New Year's Eve evening eating an impressive 4 course tasting menu at @casbahpgh. They had a surf or turf option for each of the main courses. I went with the Lamb Tenderloin, Duck Breast, Petite Filet and Brownie for my options. Each course was fantastic and I'm not sure I could pick a favorite. It was a great way to finish 2019.
