Madeline took a trip to Peru, and shared all of the best food that she ate!

Part 2

Our Ultimate Pittsburgh Pizza Road Trip inspired some strong feelings in you all. Really, really strong feelings. We chat about how the list came to be, and read some of the best (and worst) reader comments. And if you haven’t see the Ultimate Pittsburgh Pizza Road Trip Part 2: The Fans Strike Back, check it out.

Part 3

There are some awesome rooftop bars in Pittsburgh to enjoy now that the weather is nice, including Biergarten (opening for the season May 1), Il tetto, New Amsterdam, and a ‘secret’ spot – the mini-rooftop at Pear & the Pickle Cafe.

Part 4

Thanks so much to Kathleen and Kyle, who sent us a letter with seven reasons why they should win a spot on our Tiki Boat Cruise Contest 2018. They’re shoe-ins now, so that means there are two spots left… if you want to enter, send us an email (emily@goodfoodpittsburgh and [email protected]) and tell us why you deserve an all-expense paid spot on the Tiki Boat sometime this summer. Best answers (arbitrarily) win!

Part 5

The best thing that Madeline ate this week was an exotic fruit from Peru, and Emily talked about all of the great Pittsburgh businesses that came together to help make her sister’s baby shower so magical. The short list:

Palazzo 1837 for the venue (and the best thing we ate this week, their Burnt Almond Cream Cake)
