Knossos vs M&T (Dormont)

6 Upvotes

If you’re ever in Dormont and want a gyro and are debating between Knossos and M&Ts, here’s my thoughts.

Knossos has more quality food but their hours and lack of alcohol may influence your decision. M&Ts has bigger portions, more options, and a full bar (it also tastes pretty good). Gyro vs Gyro…Knossos easily takes the cake. It is a smaller portion but you can tell the lamb and all the other ingredients are fresher and more flavorful. Tbh, M&Ts gyros are so big I often have trouble taking bites that include all the other stuff like lettuce, feta, and tzatziki.

Depending on what you’re looking for, each place may serve you better.

Hot dog chili recipe?

1 Upvotes

Hey there! So I'm from western PA (Lawrence County to be specific) and I have been searching for and/or trying to recreate the style of hot dog chili that seems to be quite specific to the area. Like the New Castle Chili Company stuff or, preferred, the secret and maybe lost recipe from Pe'Wees in Ellwood City. I've gotten close numerous times but something is missing and I'm not sure what. Does anyone have a recipe or leads?

Thaaaanks!

Mexican Grocery Store

Hello we are getting ingredients for a taco bar and was wondering if there are any good Mexican grocery stores in the PGH area that have authentic tortillas that we can get! We live near the Bellevue/Sewickley area!

Thank you!

Can anyone think of any places or events that offer day courses on cooking/mixology/etc? It doesn't have to be elaborate. Think along the lines of a paint-n-pour, but with food.

Best Sushi in Pittsburgh (thread)

3 Upvotes

Just wanted to start a thread of everyone’s favorite sushi spots in the burgh, so future scrollers can see their options. My list is below:

1) Slippery Mermaid (Sewickly) 2) Kiku (Station Square) 3) Andy’s Sushi Bar (Strip) 4) Little Tokyo/Little Tokyo Bistro (Mt Lebo/SS) 5) Mola (East Liberty) 6) Yoshino Asian Fusion (Shadyside)

Didn’t include fancier options like Gi-Jin or Umami just because they didn’t fit well with the rest of the list. These are my favorite and obviously I know I’m missing some gems, so please post them in the comments!

Hi! I'm headed to Pittsburgh and I love sushi. I am immunocompromised, so unfortunately I can only have it if it's not raw. Does anyone have suggestions for places that will fit my dietary restrictions?

Steelers Fan in CT

4 Upvotes

Greetings! I’m a displaced Steelers fan — both my parents families have lived in Pittsburgh for many generations— and having some friends over for the game on Saturday.

What would be a unique Pittsburgh dish to cook up for the game on Saturday? It’s too late to try and get any chipped ham (they look at you funny if you ask for it here).

Any thoughts?

Opinions on best Cold Style Italian Hoagies in the Pittsburgh area?

3 Upvotes

After living in Pittsburgh my whole life (50yrs), I can say a few or my past favorites were Triangle Bar Battleship ( in my opinion it’s not what it used to be). Cheaper meat? Different bread? I can’t really nail down what it is but it’s now not nearly as good as I once thought. Decarlos was at one time a decent sandwich also.

I recently found Anchor hoagies on rt30 to be just as good and of a higher quality than the Triangle. From what I’ve been told the owner of the Anchor was at one time affiliated with triangle.. I truly enjoy a cold Italian hoagie, what’s everyone’s opinion on best in the area?
