It's been a busy and kinda crazy couple of days. S

It's been a busy and kinda crazy couple of days. So here's a delicious sandwich I ate at @mediterracafe a couple weeks ago. This is the Grilled Ham Parma Cotta and it was so good. I'm not a fan of ham, but this sandwich was amazing with thick slices of fresh mozzarella and pesto sauce. Definitely gonna need to hit up Mediterra for lunch more often.

Today is my birthday! This week I've been going thru all my promotional emails and rewards accounts finding all my free meals, meal discounts and free coffees. So far I've taken advantage of my free @mad_mex burrito (a delicious chicken fajita burrito), @dunkin drink (Americano) and @starbucks drink (pistachio latte). I still have @eatbig free entree, @wiglewhiskey & @threadbarecider discounts and so much more to use. Birthday freebies are definitely a great way save some money eating out. What good birthday freebies am I missing that I need to sign up for next year?

With tacos and queso I ate at @condadotacos in 2021. This was my first time at the South Hills Village location and they did a great job converting it from the old hibachi place. I needed a place to chill out and grab lunch after going to the eye doctor, having my eye dilated and basically unable to see in bright lights. Tacos, queso and margarita are a great way to kill some time.

I ended last year the same way I started this year...with a healthy appetite. Last night, I went with a @pizzeriadavide New Yorker Deluxe with Pepperoni, some of their full wings and washed it down with a vintage 2019 @gristhouse Fire Fest Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. This morning I made a massive breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, a bagel and some tomatoes with coffee.
I haven't been posting a ton lately. Just haven't felt like it. I'll get back into it soon. I hope in 2022 to more actively try new restaurants. I also plan to try to do more video. We'll see if any of that happens.

Before the holiday, I went to @stclairsocial_pgh for Southern Style Wednesday & trivia night. They feature a southern style BBQ menu by @scratchco_pgh and trivia by @radicaltrivia. I got the fried chicken, which had a GF breading and my brother got the chicken wings. We were doing great on trivia but blew it on the final question. I'll definitely be back another Wednesday so I can redeem myself on the trivia.

Another year has gone by and I wrote another post about how my year went. It was an interesting year filled with staying home, getting vaccinated, leaving the house, getting surgery, staying home, and eventually going out again. So crazy! The link for that is in the bio.

I also went last weekend to the Christmas Vacation pop up at @spiritsandtalespgh in @theoaklanderhotel. This pop up had some fun drinks and some fun movie related photo spots. I love some do the creativity that went into this one. I still have another photo I think I'm going to post to my personal Instagram.

One of the things I'd love to do more in 2022 is having meetups with more great foodies. Last week I met up at @federalgalley with a great crew of some of my longest Pittsburgh foodie friends @yinzhungry412, @discovertheburgh, @foodismysavior_pgh, @moscatoismymantra and @steeltownadv. I finally got to try @drivenpgh and their Detroit style pizza. I was a big fan of the Vodka Pie and Traci Pie. I also got the Truffle Tuna from @shakapgh. I can't wait to try more great food with great people in the upcoming year.

Last week I was at @squarecafepgh with @madeinpgh for a lovely brunch. I got the Lemon Berry Ricotta pancakes and drowned them in syrup. Square Cafe is a great brunch spot. Made in PGH provided atmosphere with some holiday themed goodies and mimosas. They also have lots of Pittsburgh themed swag for sale on their website.

I had lunch at @takotorta with @discovertheburgh last week. I've been meaning to get over to this new space for a while, mainly for the tortas. Years ago when @takopgh was offering tortas for lunch during the summer, I was there at least once a week for these delicious sandwiches. I even wrote about it on my blog back when I barely had any posts. Now I'm so glad this new @bakerysquarepgh location has tortas back on the menu. This one is the Cubana with ham, carnitas, jack cheese, dijonaise, pickle and slaw. It was fantastic. I can't wait to go back for more tortas.

I wasn't planning on posting these wings, but they turned out so damn good I decided I would. I defrosted my deep freezer this weekend and this package of wings didn't stay frozen in the cooler. So I ended up having wings for dinner. I made them using my toaster air fryer which is basically just a small convection oven. I dried off the wings and coated them in baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder. I "air fried" the wings at 380°F for 20 minutes, flipping them at about 12 minutes. I probably would do them a little longer just to get a little more crispy but it was pretty good. I finished them off tossing them in a sauce made of melted butter, honey and a little hot BBQ. They were so good!
