TastyBurgher

This is just a quick message to say Happy Gobbler Day!  It seems fitting that TastyBurgher post a special message about Thanksgiving, because it is on this holiday that we stuff our faces with good home cookin’ just for the sake of the food.  We get all of our most favorite autumn treats and whip them up into one giant fantastic meal, and after a brief pause of reflection we delve in!  Some reflect on their thankfulness, others on how delicious the glistening turkey will be, taking a last deep breath before the feast.  It is a holiday born of a love for food, even in the old Pilgrims and Indians story, and so my stomach and I give it special treatment.  This year, I’ll be savoring creamed pearl onions at my In-Laws Thanskgiving table, and I’ll be sorely missing the potato dishes and jell-o concoctions of my own family.  Fortunately, I get to switch every year, but there was a time when I was in college and didn’t get to go back home for Thanksgiving.  May there be a few of you out there who are stuck all alone in Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving this year?

Mad Mex

A staple of students and suburbanites alike, Mad Mex provides fairly priced, tasty chow, stays open late, and generates the best margaritas north of the Mason-Dixon line. They have all kinds of happy hours and times of day where food and drinks are half off, all of which are good deals. But probably the biggest draw of Mad Mex is that the establishment has such a good sense of humor that you just know you are going to have a good time, and you know it every time you go. (more…)
