A chat about food and cooking
When I watch the Food Network program Best Thing I Ever Ate, I often wonder how they can remember all those dishes from all those restaurants! Anyway, my dad and I recently went to the Benedum to see Phantom of the Opera, which we both love. While on our way, we were talking about restaurants in Pittsburgh that are no longer there. He said if I remember Kleins, which I do. And the garlic puffs! When I was a child, I would eat so many that I could not eat my meal. So that is the best thing I ever ate from a restaurant that is no longer there.
Hey Chris! It’s hard to choose just one thing, but I remember one thanksgiving at your folks house and I loved your mom and grandma’s recipe for turkey dressing. I ate so much, I forgot to eat any turkey.
My husband and I and another couple enjoy trying new restaurants here in PIttsburgh. One of our favorite places are Armstrongs (Caste Village) and Pasta Two in Bethel Park. They serve a milanise chicken to die forat Pasta Two. Their Italian food and seafood is pretty good and reasonable as well. We were talking about desserts and remembered the same one we tasted over 20 years ago at Francos in downstown called “Surprise” I believe. It was served on a large serving tray for everyone to consume at the table. It was whipped cream, pieces of wonderful fruit (strawberries, mangos, bananas and toasted slivered almonds.). It was one dessert that everyone shared and talked about for years.
If I may ask, I have a question about a TV show that was on WQUED a few weeks ago. It was about a HUngarian Church in Homestead that sold vegetarian and other soups. Does that still exist? I took a ride last weekend over to Homestead and could not locate it anywhere. After 25 minutes of riding around HOmestead, I came home. Maybe it was an old request. Please let me know if this is still here. THANK YOU! Nadine Reck, Greenfield
Hi Nadine, thanks for your food memories. I never seem to get to the South hills to eat. Sounds like you have good choices.
The soup is actually made at the bulgarian-Macedonian society in Homestead. It’s called Soup Sega and it started up again this year on September 11. It’s only open on Saturdays from 9am to Noon. Here’s the link http://www.bmnecc.org/soup_sega.aspx
