Good Food Pittsburgh Radio Episode 6: “The Doke Movement”

In this episode, Emily and Madeline talk about ‘Cheap Eats’ lists, and why media should think twice before running them, the best hot chocolate in Pittsburgh, and our favorite downtown spots.

Part 1

Cheap Eats, Cheap Labor: The Hidden Costs of Those Lists, from February 2017, takes a look at ‘Cheap Eats’ lists, and whether or not they’re useful to the restaurant industry as a whole.

Part 2

Emily loves hot chocolate, so she rounded up her favorite spots in Pittsburgh to get cocoa. Plus, Madeline talks about her love of boozy hot chocolate, and we debate the merits of having a cocktail at the end of a meal.

Part 3

We talk all things downtown, our love of Union Standard’s bar bites, to the best place to pop in when you don’t have a reservation (Sienna Mercato for the win!). Also, why are so many downtown restaurants closed on Sundays? If anyone knows, we’d love to talk to you!

Part 4

Our favorite bites of the week include one of Pittsburgh’s best sandwiches (thanks Pear & the Pickle Cafe), and Madeline shares why she used to skip out on study hall to eat at Ichiban.
