Eat’N Park
Everywhere and all the time.

So today, worlds collided: my coworker Rich W. discovered that I write TastyBurgher, and I discovered that he reads it. Hurrah! I love to meet my TastyReaders! I asked him for all kinds of feedback, and he wondered why, with all the other Pittsburgh-centric reviews, had I not managed to complete a blurb about Eat‘N Park. Well, I have thought about it all afternoon, and I think the main thing that has been holding me back is the Baked Scrod. I mean, come on – nothing sounds more unappetizing that Baked Scrod – Blarg! Seriously, couldn’t they name their dishes something a little less unfortunate? But no, they have all kinds of scrod-ular dishes. There’s Baked Scrod, Broiled Scrod, Baked Scrod Scampi, and Nantucket Scrod. Then there’s my personal favorite, Florida Scrod (also known as Senior Baked Scrod on some menus). Eugh…That just makes me picture a wrinkly old man’s you-know-whats. By the way, did you know that the highest rate of STD contraction in the US is within the retirement communities in Florida? It is true, my doctor friend told me it is a serious new problem. Our friend Rich P. (another Rich) posits that it is the result of a perfect storm of post-menopause and Viagra. Think about that next time you call Granny in Sarasota…. So, YUM - are you all ready to go to Eat‘N Park now?!?! Yeah, me neither….but Eat‘N Park has its place and time (mostly in the wee hours of the morning) and it’s a real Pittsburgh fixture, so put on your Smiley faces and lets talk about Eat’N Park! (more…)
