I was sent by @paulfamilyfarmspa a bottle of their new Habanero Maple Syrup go try out. I figured it would be best to pair it with something savory. I made cornbread waffles topped with a chicken tender and a sunny side up egg. The syrup went nicely with it as it was sweet on the bite with the heat and habanero flavor on the backend. This new maple syrup along with many others and PA Raw Honey are available now on their website.

So my dinner tonight ended up being Tuscsn-spiced Pork & Grape Agrodolce. This was a surprisingly good random dinner even though I'm not a fan of kale, which Blue Apron loves as a side. I canceled Blue Apron going forward, not because it was terrible but I just like to pick out my own food. Meal kits are fun to try new things.

I'm so full now and so happy I got this week's @theparlordimsumpgh Dim Sum drop. My favorites this time were the “Char Siu Bao” roasted pork buns and “Lau Sa Bao” volcano bao, sweeten duck egg yolk. I've always loved dumplings, siu mai and bao buns the most. I'm really excited for what @roger_li is doing for Dim Sum in Pittsburgh. We've needed more dim sum here since forever!

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗠𝗲 𝗨𝗽! I did takeout

I did takeout recently from @thaimeup_pittsburgh, which I haven't ordered from in forever. I got this fantastic Pork Belly Pad Mee and a side of Thai Me Up Rolls. Having moved out of Southside years ago I don't get to enjoy some of those favorites as much as I used to do.
OK also it's totally feeling weird that my header that is usually a pun or attention getter is the name of the restaurant, but is there really anything better I could have used? There is not.

It's apparently #nationalpepperonipizzaday. I didn't do pizza today, but this is the @pizzeriadavide NY Style with fresh mozzarella & basil and topped with pepperoni I got last week. Definitely one of my favorite pizzas right now!

How's everyone starting their #SundayFunday before the #Steelers game? I decided to make myself a nice Bacon, Egg and Cheese prior to watching the game.

I feel like there's 4 of these a year. I attempted to make my own smash burger at home. I got the smashing down and the melting of cheese down. However apparently I forgot how to take a good photo. At least the burger tasted great!

I visited @brewdogpitt for lunch recently. I finally got to check this off my list of "new" restaurants. I was very happy with my stouts and this meal. I started with the Fried Chicken Sandwich which was pretty large and had a good crisp to it. Even though I'm still slowly starting to eat at restaurants again, it was nice to be outside and enjoying a meal.

It's Sunday. I made some breakfast. I haven't posted breakfast in a while. Here it is. This post is kinda lazy. Sorry. End of caption.

At @pitamyshawarma! They are celebrating their grand opening this Saturday. They will have all the favorites from the food truck as well as some other regular items. I went with the chicken shawarma this time around when I stopped in for a pre-opening. The restaurant also has outdoor patio seating. This is very exciting to see this restaurant grown and expand right now!

It's rare I stick to the whole #tacotueaday trend but last week I decided to finally try @btoskitchen in #Dormont to go and the meal was fantastic. I got the al pastor tacos with a side of elotes and an extra side of refried beans. The tacos really impressed me with the house made tortillas and the large pieces of pork. I'll definitely be getting many more meals from here.

Hang on while I'm trying to figure out Instagram again. I posted this as a Reel last night but I feel like either people don't see it or don't like videos. Let me know in the comments what you want to see from me. Regular photos, videos and Reels, or you don't care because you just scroll over my posts anyway?

And it turned out ok! I had some apples I needed to use so I turned them into something delicious. However I'm not the best baker so my crust didn't hold together and I probably needed to bake for a few more minutes, but it's still pie and still amazing.

Nashville Hot Chicken I love so much. This one was from when they started up service again a couple weeks ago. You can always check their Instagram to see when it's available...like tonight!

I don't post cocktails much but I'm really loving these @thewarrenpgh To Go Cocktails. Before the Pandemic I worked up the block from The Warren and it was kind of a regular spot for me. Fantastic drinks and great atmosphere. The Fred's Old Fashioned is my go to cocktail due to my love of whiskey and it can pack a punch. Since they reopened I unfortunately have not been able to get down for a meal but I wanted to at least swing by for some drinks. The To Go Cocktails are available at the attached @penncoveeatery.
