It is true that round corner has a good outdoor space. there food is just meh

There's this taco place in the mall at Robinson. It's very delicious.

Apparently it started in a back yard in Coraopolis

Why is the $ behind the 2 in that image? Would not eat there.

It's a sentence, not a list. I don't think we're dealing in absolutes here but the usage seems fine to me.

The Polish Hill sammich @ Primanti's was disappointing.

The concept could have worked, but was poor in execution. The kielbasa was good, as always, but the positives stop there.

The mustard was too spicy for the sandwich. They should've stuck with the standard potato and cheddar pierogies. Supposedly they used grilled onion flavored? Could've fooled me. The grilled slaw flat out didn't work. It ended up in this weird realm between slaw and kraut where no one wants to be.

This sammich needs to get aht a tahn. Waste of good kielbasa.

Why grill the slaw is my question

I hate mustard so I'd have gotten it without. Honestly I'm not much of a condiments guy

Imo it was not a good thing for primantis to be purchased by a private equity firm. I prefer primantis to have a limited menu with the classic sammiches and a limited number of servicbable, basic non-sammich foods.

I had to remove the majority of the slaw since the flavor was overwhelming. Once I did that, I actually enjoyed it. Could definitely tell they were Mrs. T's though.

I should mention I had quite a few drinks as well...

I get the same thing every time pastrami w/ onions.

Had Mission BBQ in Robinson today. A+++ spot. Line was out the door but we had food in under 10 minutes. Free samples while in line. Friendly people. And we even sang the national anthem at 12:00

Recently ate at Fujuya Ramen in Shadyside (http://www.fujiyaramenpa.com/). Fujuya Ramen took over from Tan Izakaya, and the interior of the restaurant is basically exactly the same. Even though Tan Izakaya had "izakaya" in its name, Fujuya Ramen IMO actually offers a more izakaya-style menu. Tan had a big sushi menu, but sushi (outside of maybe a couple basic types of sashimi) isn't a food you would encounter in most actual Japanese izakayas. An izakaya is the equivalent of a local neighborhood bar and grille. Expecting sushi in an izakaya would be like expecting your local bar to serve the same steaks and prime rib as a place like Morton's or The Capital Grille. Fujuya Ramen ditches the sushi and adds more ramen dishes.

Everything at Fujuya Ramen was superb. My SIL said her tonkotsu ramen was the best basic pork ramen she's had since she lived in Japan. The yakitori was great. Apps (including the grilled mackrel, Tokyo tofu, and karage) were also great. I had an eel bowl, which was a little unusual due to the presence of lettuce and tomato, but the eel itself was excellent. I highly recommend Fujuya Ramen.

Nice, thanks.

Carbone's in Crabtree closing after 80 years. https://triblive.com/local/westmoreland ... ee-closing

Mangini said she has worked at the family's business for 80 of her 90 years, but there is not a member of the fourth generation of the Carbone family who wants to take on the time-consuming task of operating a restaurant.

Millenials ruin everything.

More like a downside to having an Italian restaurant right across from the best italian restaurant in Westmoreland county.

Aren't you a millennial?

mac, it made it three generations and 80 years. No family pride these days.

LBL, no. GTFO with that ****.

TIL dodint is old af, Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old)

I was born in 82 but I was born poor so my timeline is skewed.

That's a terrible range, though, as if anyone born in 81 could have anything close to a shared experience with someone from 1996. I graduated high school in 2001, when they would be entering kindergarten. I say again, GTFO.

You're a millennial.

I know that... I I was referencing the fact that Rizzos bought their building. I went to Carbone's once. It was very good, but I much preferred Rizzos.

Generations. Where the timelines are made up and the points don't matter.

I think these deciders have come to the conclusion that there is something between Gen X and Millenials. Not sure if there is an official name for it yet.
