Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
It might depend on the place. Years ago, I was talking to a bartender in the Sharp Edge. He said they usually have a tap devoted to Coors Light because so many yinzers would ask for it, but they charged something outrageous per glass in order to "punish" those people for ordering Coors Light in a beer bar that literally has more than a hundred better draft and bottled beers you could be drinking. That's an attitude I can get behind. You wouldn't order Franzia in a wine bar.mac5155 wrote:Yeah a pint draft of miller over 4 bucks drives me through a wall.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
I always drink the mystery beer at Sharp Edge during non happy hour times, unless there is something on draft that I'm really interested in having.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
I thought that was awesome and always do this as well when I go. The first time, I thought that the bartender knew what it was, so I took a couple sips and tried to guess and was surprised when she said "I have no clue what it is either..."Troy Loney wrote:I always drink the mystery beer at Sharp Edge during non happy hour times, unless there is something on draft that I'm really interested in having.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
Anyone tried this place?
http://www.yelp.com/biz/biryani-indian- ... Restaurant" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The owners of It's Doggin It (from India) say this is the best Indian food in Pittsburgh.
It's in a strip mall in Monroeville. basically a Troy Loney nightmare.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
I believe that's called saag. I think I'd go for the biryani, preferably with lamb. They named the restaurant after it, after all.count2infinity wrote:whatever the indian creamy spinach stuff is rocks.

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
Interesting random trivia: While there are multiple claims for its origin, the recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala was likely created in the United Kingdom, not India.Troy Loney wrote:Get some naan and tiki masala

Re: Restaurant Recommendations?
I ate there once for the lunch buffet, did not care for it at all. The food was cold, and the selection was very small. Not a fan and I have never seen anyone in there.Troy Loney wrote:Anyone tried this place?

Went to Palazzo down by the Meadows last night. Total hidden gem. Their chicken Romano was to die for. Got stuffed banana peppers too that were awesome, as was the pecan ball for desert.
