It’s fitting that one of my last big family outings before leaving for San Diego would be a visit to Spoon. Aside from the restaurant being one that I always recommend, Chef/Proprietor Brian Pekarcik actually spent a good bit of time in San Diego himself. After a few more moves around the country Chef P eventually made it back to his hometown of Pittsburgh, and the city should be very happy that he did. [click to continue…]

I’m leaving Pittsburgh for San Diego on the first of February. I know, I’d be jealous too. The only thing that kind of sucks about moving is that I’m going to miss a few big openings around town. For instance, I’ve got this $40 dollar gift card to Union Pig & Chicken that I won’t be able to use. Sure I could give it to friends or family, but I would much prefer to watch people come out of the woodwork to win free stuff (kidding..kind of).
2 ways to enter:
1. Retweet:
I want the goodbye #Pittsburgh @union_PGH giftcard from @RodzillaReviews http://bit.ly/yOJbO8
2. leave a post telling me why you would like the gift card (fan of Salt of The Earth? BBQ? Starving?)
Winner will be randomly selected Friday January 27th from eligible entries - make sure to leave a proper email (kept private) with your comment.
So here is my quick review of the new Frosted Toast Crunch. They have the same sugary dusting and light crisp texture of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but with a restrained sweetness that lets more of the toasted rice/grain flavor comes through. I really didn’t taste any “light touches of cinnamon” but that was fine by me. The vanilla frosting flavor (think frosted cheerios) makes for a more versatile mixing cereal.
Overall I really liked them, but who really cares what I think about cereal? I asked a true pro to weigh in on the latest from the cereal aisle. Here is what StreetStangTiffani had to say. [click to continue…]
