I’ve now been back from my stag in Pittsburgh for almost a full week, and I think I’ve finally recovered. But let me tell you, this is more than just a clever headline folks, it’s a way of life in Pittsburgh! Fries, fries and more fries! “You want fries with that?” does not come with a question mark in the city known as Steeltown. Let me set the plate for you: A group of 7 guys (including myself) spent 3 days in Pittsburgh this past week celebrating the end of my life as they know it. While dodging from restaurant to restaurant, we were more than a little perplexed at the way they heap fries on, in, and around your food. The most extreme example came when we tried to order healthy one afternoon at a Greek restaurant. I asked for a grilled salmon salad, thinking I’d beat their system. Boy was I wrong. My salad consisted of one layer of lettuce, one heaping layer of fries, topped off with a large hunk of (delicious actually) salmon. Can anyone say “inevitable heart-attack?” Conclusion: good city, bad food, great times.
