What a meal! I finally got to eat at @ribroompgh,

What a meal! I finally got to eat at @ribroompgh, the prime rib experience hiding in the back of @meatandpotatoespgh. This is perfect for any lover of beef like me. I went into this dinner knowing I was gonna spend a lot and eat too much. I went with the Kings Cut, which is a thick cut 14 oz slice of prime rib. I topped it with pastrami bacon. This was so good. The meat was so tender, juicy and loaded with flavor. I personally loved the rendered fat cap, but I know that's not for everyone. We also got the Lobster Thermidor, Shrimp Cocktail, Greens, Truffle Fries, Baked Potato, cocktails and my table ordered a wedge salad I didn't touch but looked like a great salad. This is definitely a dinner experience. I'm ready to go back again.

Here's a #tbt to dinner with @discovertheburgh at @dianoiaseatery from a few weeks ago. It was a delicious dinner and a great time hanging out with them. I've been really delayed on most of my posting lately. I'm just a lazy food Instagrammer right now. They were much more timely with their sharing of the dinner posting it the next day. I got the Stracotto: Pappardelle, Italian Braised Beef, Fried Rosemary and some rainbow cookies for dessert.

I visited @miraclepgh when they opened on Friday. Even though Christmas isn't my thing, I welcome this Christmas themed pop-up bar every year because of it's lively atmosphere, boozy and tasty cocktails and they donate proceeds to local charities and organizations. They'll be open daily downtown until 12/31. Go check them out, have a drink and support some local charities while getting festive this holiday season.

My family did Thanksgiving dinner late this year d

My family did Thanksgiving dinner late this year due to our schedules. I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I got to make the turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. The turkey I made a garlic sage oil that I brushed all over the bird, stuffed the bird with onions, garlic and lemons, and added some carrots and celery to the pan. This turkey was not dry at all. The stuffing I used @mancinisbread which just makes any bread based item so much better. The mashed potatoes I used a recipe for browned butter rosemary mashed potatoes I saw from @jakecohen & @katiecouric was so good.

My family is doing Thanksgiving late this year, so

My family is doing Thanksgiving late this year, so I made a meat and cheese lasagna yesterday instead. I kept it very basic. Mostly. Except for making the noodles from scratch using the KitchenAid. This was mostly just an excuse to use my KitchenAid more to justify buying it years ago. That added a ton of time since I definitely made it more complicated than needed. Lasagna turned out pretty good too.

I was looking for the audio from the Energizer Bun

I was looking for the audio from the Energizer Bunny because this @lebosubs Roast Beef and Cheese just keeps going and going. This was a great sandwich. I even showed a little self control and had it for 2 meals.

I'm mixing it up and posting photos of brunch at @casbahpgh a couple of weeks ago. They have a brunch Prix Fixe that includes 2 courses and a cocktail. I went with the Casbah Benedict with prosciutto, Smoked Salmon and a Bloody Mary. It's a lot of food and so good.

I visited the new location of @chickenguy in PPG P

I visited the new location of @chickenguy in PPG Plaza downtown. This fried chicken tender restaurant is from the mind of @guyfieri. They feature tenders that are pounded flat, brined, breaded and pressure fired so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I tasted a variety of items. I really liked my Big Bite B.L.A.T. sandwich. The also feature 22 different signature sauces for your tender dipping ranging from sweet to spicy to creamy and a little mix of all those. They also have milkshakes, sides like fried pickles and mac and cheese, and salads, if you want a salad, I guess.

I attended the return of @culturaltrust The Chocol

I attended the return of @culturaltrust The Chocolate Bar at the Benedum, the ultimate chocolate tasting experience. This event featured decadent chocolate inspired treats and desserts, and savory chocolate infused offerings from Pittsburgh's finest chocolatiers and participating restaurants. They had plenty of entertainment too like a DJ, a jazz band, dancers and a drag queen photo booth. Some of my favorites were the Mississippi Mud Pie by @braddockspgh, @overedenpgh Short Ribs with Dark Chocolate & Blackberries and @a519chocolate Spiced Dark Chocolate Ganache, but there were seriously so many awesome chocolate items to try. I left full and on a sugar high. I can't wait for @culturaltrust to bring this event back in the future.

There's a new location of @condadotacos in East Li

There's a new location of @condadotacos in East Liberty and I got to go check it out the other night. This location is huge and has murals and artwork all over designed by local artists. I got two loaded tacos, a couple of margaritas, chips and dips and a side of Mac. The seasonal taco is a Butter Chicken Taco and it was delicious. I think my face says it all.
