This weekend I got the opportunity to meet @eddiespizza412 to try one of his fantastic homemade craft pizzas. He made me a Sicilian pie with pepperoni & shredded mozzarella finished off with fresh mozzarella and basil. This pizza was so good I made sure I had leftovers so I could eat it again. His signature style is a light, fluffy crust that's just a little sweet. It was so good and I can't wait to have it again. As things start to open up again Eddie will also begin to do pizza classes in your homes. Keep an eye out on his account for more details! Eddie will also be participating on @goodtastepgh virtual PizzaFest on June 14th on the zoom platform with demos & tips on how to make artisan Pizza at home. Get tips on making the best dough, sauce, and everything in between from four of the Burgh's best Artisan Pizza Makers: Mercurios, Caliente Pizza & Darft House, Slice on Broadway and home pizza Chef & consultant, Ed Stalewski.
I don't get political over here often. But I guess I don't get political over here often. But I guess it's a good time to get started. This year I'll probably be more so than in the past. Black Lives Matter. End Racism. Stop Hate Speech. Fix the system. It's so disheartening to see the same systematic hatred and injustice over and over and nothing changing. Even though I didn't take part in a protest this weekend, it was great to see so many people come together for a righteous cause. Protest is a great way to get a message heard. If you are mad people are protesting and not why they are protesting then you are not respectful of their purpose. It was unfortunate to see a small group hijack peaceful protests that had been going so well just for their separate goal of chaos. I struggle to know what to say because I have not directly experienced racism in the way many others do regularly. I've experienced antisemitism. Although similar on some levels, not the same. I've definitely been around people who have experienced racism in ways of being denied entry to an establishment or questioned unnecessarily or suspiciously watched for only the color of their skin. I'm not going to try to tell people what they can do or what resources to review to know how to do better and be anti-racist. There are so many people who can say those things so much better. Social media is flooded with people right now who can direct you better. If you feel I misstated something in this brief statement, tell me and I'll do my best to correct it. I know there is much more to learn. Two things I will encourage because I feel comfortable telling people to do correctly. First is fill out your census. This helps your community get funding for services and representation. Second is to vote. A great way to get government to listen to those fighting for change is to replace the people who don't want change or don't acknowledge a problem. Have people represent you in government who listen to their constituents and share the same morals. Primaries in PA are tomorrow if you haven't already voted by mail. The general election in November is obviously a big one. If you are not registered to vote, do it before the deadline. - Alex

A blended burger needs to contain 25% mushroom in the mix. The idea is to make burgers more sustainable. This burger is topped with pepperoni, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions and sauteed tomatoes. Last year although I wasn't deemed a winner I received a cool kitchen apron. This year I went with a pizza themed burger. You can see both my recipes on my website. I just posted the new one now.

It was a cool hack to have both great brunch items in one. It did like getting the flavors and texture of French Toast with the cheese and bacon of an omelette. However, for the amount of time it takes to make one sandwich I don't think I'll be making these often. Second, as you can see, I'm starting to play with video. I need a lot more practice. So what do you all think? Should I keep doing more videos? #AlexEatsTooMuch

First let's talk about how it's loaded with chorizo and fried potatoes. I love that. Then there's just that egg just perfectly set in the middle. Then there's that crema to bring all the flavors together. This burrito, just like most things I've eaten from Blue Sparrow lives up to the hype. I also replenished my beer supply last night.

A salad!?!?! Yep. I know. I hate it too. I really don't like salads. But you know what? I actually eat them for lunch more than you would think. Why? Because it's a great way to balance and add more vegetables to the diet. I'll never like salads. No one will ever convince me to truly like a salad. Don't even try.

I saw @burgatorybar had been running a bunch of deals on Instagram and one of them last week was for the Morty's Steakhouse burger with Horseradish Cheddar, Caramelized Onions & Haystack Onions. It had been so long since so got a burger from Burgatory I had actually forgotten how much I like them. Sometimes being impulsive with meals definitely pays off.

This weekend I realized it was time to start mixing in more veggies and less red meat and fried food into my stay at home diet. I started tonight with some grilled salmon and zucchini. I might even attempt a salad or two. Crazy times call for crazy actions.
