With this site, our goal is to provide a perpetually-updated set of reviews and thoughts about the eating scene at large in Pittsburgh, PA. Within that scene, we include Pittsburgh’s restaurants, of course, but we also hope to include information for those who like to cook at home. So, grocery stores, specialty markets, kitchen supplies, etc. will also fall under our purview.

For restaurants, our plan is this: Erika or I, and sometimes both of us separately, will provide an initial review of each place we visit. Upon revisiting a particular establishment, we will make additional posts.

We recognize that first impressions can be proven wrong, and that many restaurants change and evolve (or devolve) over time. Our hope is to build an increasingly complete picture of each establishment we visit, building up the story, as it were, of being a repeat-customer at various Pittsburgh establishments.

All of us naturally find certain favorite restaurants that become special to us, our “go-to” places. These are the places we choose for special occasions, or for when we need comfort, or for when people come in from out of town. Our goal is to suss out those places in Pittsburgh and give them some recognition. Of course, we’ll certainly encounter some less-than-perfect places in the meantime, so we hope to provide informative and enjoyable commentary as we go.

Thanks for taking the time to join us, n’at!
