| - I know that I'm late to the party on this one, but I've been trying to be pescatarian for the past half year, so it's been a bit tough to come here. That being said, we break "fast" every now and then, and Meat and Potatoes is a great way to get your meat on. The name is actually quite fitting, because if you want veggies at all, this is not where you're going to find that - I think about 15% of their menu might include vegetables.
The pate is phenomenal, as is the bone marrow appetizer. You'll feel full just from eating that, because it is so rich. But totally worth it. I also had duck here and it was great too. Also - try the red velvet dessert. It comes in a jar, which is really fitting because you won't be able to finish it and then you can just take it home in your purse. So, evidently I have broken "fast" a few times. But, why am I writing only now?
Because I discovered Meat and Potatoes brunch - which is on both Saturday AND Sunday. Hear that Pittsburgh? Saturday AND Sunday. Some of you would do well to note that many of us aren't limited to brunch on Sundays!
Anyway, I've been having a fried chicken craving for the past month or so (if you've been a dedicated meat eater for most of your life, and then go pescatarian, it catches up with you sometimes) and someone told me that Meat and Potatoes does down-to-earth goodness fried chicken and waffles. Let me tell you about the last time I had chicken and waffles. It was at midnight at the Waffle Shop in East Liberty, and the fried chicken was so bad, I left it, and the waffles tasted like cardboard. But that's another story... Needless to say, this fried chicken and waffles was PHENOMENAL. The fried chicken is perfectly breaded and cooked (you can tell them if you just want dark or light meat) and the waffle is made out of this wonderful cheese-jalapeno batter that is only the slightest bit spicy. Which comes with syrup cooked with bacon.
Did you just fall over? That must be my puddle of drool you just slipped on. Sorry.
