| - I was more than a little surprised when my adventure partner told me we would be picking up dinner at a place called Sam's Sun Sandwich in Carrick. I immediately web searched Sam's to make sure it met my approval, and I am so glad I wasn't a picky bitch that day! A sunny day, plus Sam's sunny disposition, plus perfect Mid-Eastern cuisine, plus no picky bitch equals a perfect day (there was also handfuls of black raspberries, eagles, successful mushroom foraging and swimming)! We tried Sam's Baba Ghannouj - which was an ideal combination of smoky, oily and creamy, the veggie grape leaves - which were uniquely spiced and definitely not the ones from the can you get just about everywhere else, and the spinach pie - which was the best fucking spinach pie ever; it had a really tasty dough, not phyllo, but more like that of a calzone and the filling was definitely made from fresh, not frozen, spinach with just a hint of lemony tang. Sam also brought us a sample of his falafel which was probably, as another reviewer mentioned, the best in the Pittsburgh region. All other patrons we witnessed coming and going seemed to be regulars of this very friendly and most worthy establishment.
