We were there on a Monday morning, so I did miss out on the hustle. I'm sure we'll be back!<BR/><BR/>Jamie- Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! Your recs are going on the list (I keep running lists of cities I visit and bring them each time I go back) and I hope you have a chance to make it home.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-28110454573325029832008-07-20T04:31:00.000-07:002008-07-20T04:31:00.000-07:00Wow, now I am homesick!

I ran away with my boyfriend (now husband) 25 years ago and still miss Pgh. with all my heart.<BR/><BR/>Reading your blog was almost as good as being there!<BR/><BR/>Next time make sure you go to Verona and eat pizza at Della Salla's - it is the best in the world!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for some great memories!Middle School Maniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108720957528660738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-20417652761993836052008-07-19T16:44:00.000-07:002008-07-19T16:44:00.000-07:00I live in Pittsburgh and am so happy someone else ...I live in Pittsburgh and am so happy someone else loves Kaya as much as my husband and me! Their cuban sandwich is a must as are the sweet potato fries which you fell in love with! I've never seen the cheese counter empty like it was in your picture, you must not have went on a Saturday morning! The hustle and bustle of the Strip on a Saturday morning is so energizing. So much to eat, such limited stomach space.

Hehe at PA Mexican food. In Philly, we had a great Mexican meal that was $17 for a quesadilla. I almost died.<BR/><BR/>Garrett- I believe "gianduia" is hazelnut-infused chocolate vs. a cake. So, ED's cake definitely uses a lot of the chocolate and has a pronounced hazelnut flavor (at least it did the last time I had it). I'd say they come close.<BR/><BR/>Shelly- Thanks for dropping by! Enjoy your trip to Pitt!<BR/><BR/>Sharon- One could easily blow their life savings at Penzeys. They have a branch in LA.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-26921206902051488332008-06-30T17:28:00.000-07:002008-06-30T17:28:00.000-07:00That's one of the best looking veggie burgers I've...That's one of the best looking veggie burgers I've ever seen! I wish SD had a Penzey's spices. I suppose its a good thing that I dont spend my life savings on spices, though :) Looks like a great trip!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147449734209912973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-2609754521092480212008-06-28T18:13:00.000-07:002008-06-28T18:13:00.000-07:00I found your blog tonight via the foodie blog roll...I found your blog tonight via the foodie blog roll.<BR/><BR/>I am heading out to Pitt in a few weeks and I will make sure I check out the Strip District.

I didn't even eat at Primanti's until we went back to visit. I really miss the Indian restaurants. Their version of Mexican food though, not to much. Someone should tell Pittsburgh that burritos aren't supposed to be square :) And that mixing a jar of salsa into white rice doesn't make it spanish rice. I do kinda miss that place though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-51528930915728624362008-06-24T13:08:00.000-07:002008-06-24T13:08:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by!

I definitely wish San Diego had a cluster of food shops like the Strip District or a big marketplace of some kind. Would make shopping easier and more fun.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-52096944304575106052008-06-24T12:03:00.000-07:002008-06-24T12:03:00.000-07:00When my mother went to school at Pitt, she would o...When my mother went to school at Pitt, she would often stop at Penn Mac to bring home fresh pasta, cheese, meat, olives, etc.<BR/><BR/>Our Little Italy doesn't have nearly the selection!That Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004439474693190019noreply@blogger.com
