| - Next time I take a trip to Pittsburgh, I'm definitely going to also at that point take a trip to YUMTOWN. I mean Meat & Potatoes. I like that an ampersand is in the name of the restaurant. (I just wanted to use that word.)
Delicious!!!! Suuuuuuper classy fancy schmancy but dressing up is FUN! It's in kind of a weird location, I was like, am I going into an office? But it shares space with another establishment (I want to say...bowling alley?) and they share bathrooms too which are clean, by the by, and probably bigger than they would be if they DIDn't share the bathroom so...that worked out.
Very nice hostess, they checked my coat for me. Not that that's like something that would separate them from the rest but, just so you know they do that.
LET'S talk about the food! So yummy! We were there with lots of people so we shared a bunch of stuff and we had two kinds of mussels--one curry and one regular garlic butter white wine and BOTH were wonderful. There wasn't a yucky mussel or a gritty one in the bunch, which can totally ruin your minute or more if you aren't laid back. The curry one was so different but soooo so so good. Then I had the pork belly tacos and...like, seriously, they have come up in my dreams. IN MY dreams. I remember biting into the first one and my pupils probably dilated instantly. I'm saying that my neurotransmitters immediately fired. I'm saying they tasted good. They were served with fresh lime slices and there was a teensy bit too much cilantro draped over it but I picked it off and that was easy to do so...thanks. You obviously know that people have cilantro things and were thoughtful.
Ned insisted on ordering the meat & potatoes for 2 dish and eating it by himself. It was...impressive and also frightening. It was also BEAUtiful! Huge gigantic dinosaur sized (not really) bone with marrow just glistening there in the candlelight. I really don't like bone marrow. Ugh. The steak was juicy and the potato wedges were huge and the whole thing was slathered with mushrooms and onions and served on a huge cutting board. It's the kind of steak that makes a man feel like a man. I think.
Man, now I want those pork belly tacos again. OK, drinks! They make a good martini, they have a decent beer list and a good wine list too.
Back to food. Desserts! AHHH I'm so glad I had a little room left because jesus CHRIST the desserts were all so good and so rustic looking. Almost all of them except the tiramisu, I think, were served in mason jars and I LOVE mason jars. A lot. I realize that's not necessarily a plus for the masses but they were ALSO fantastically delicious!!! Ned had the butterscotch....something like pudding or creme brulee with no brulee. I don't know, all I know is that it was better than mine and I hate when that happens.
Go here! It's great! Not too badly priced either. Definitely going back when I blow through the Pitts. The burgh. The Pittsburgh.
