Good Food Pittsburgh Radio Episode 5 “I Just Want To Enjoy Every Single Meal Of My Life. Is That Too Much To Ask?”

In this episode, Emily and Madeline talk about the restaurant boom in Pittsburgh… and if there’s an upcoming bust to worry about. Plus, we talk about New Year’s resolutions, four new openings to keep on your radar, and the very best bites we ate this week.

Part 1

This Chicago Tribune story has been blowing up our social media feeds for the last few weeks, and we wonder if the changing dining landscape in that city (lots of new restaurants openings, and lots of restaurants closing all at once), could have any implications on the Pittsburgh market. Any chefs or restaurant owners want to talk about it?

Part 2

It’s almost the middle of the month… have you kept your New Year’s resolutions? We share what food goals we have for ourselves this year, and Madeline talks about giving up something she loves.

We also talk about 12 ‘healthy-ish’ dishes that will keep you on the healthy-eating right track in Pittsburgh, and Emily talks about the best recipe she’s tried so far this year (Salted Butter Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies. You’ve got to try them.).

Part 3

There has been lots of new restaurant news in the last couple of weeks, including:

• Cousins Maine Lobster Truck
• Baby Loves Tacos
• Lawerenceville Distillery
• Poulet Bleu

Part 4

And finally, we share the best things we ate (and drank!) this week, courtesy of Il Pizzaiolo and Hitchhiker Brewing Company.
