| - So, for my 100th review, I'm choosing a Pittsburgh store that I really enjoy shopping at, McGinnis sisters on route 51.
This place has all the charm of a country store, lots of baked goods, great fresh and aged meats, seafood, charcuterie, deli, cheeses, coffees, and fresh produce, jams and jellies, spices, condiments and so much more.
Before my vegan days I would spend time at the meat counter buying brisket, chops, veal, and their wonderful fishcakes. The fishcakes are a great mixture of whitefish, crab, lobster, and shrimp. The McGinnis sister associates would then add secret ingredients, and all you need to do is take them home and pop them in the oven, they make great sandwiches!
Great breads like cracked wheat, whole grain, bagels, Italian, and sour dough. They also have cookies and pies.
The produce is really where McGinnis sister's shine. Possibly the freshest produce in town, except for the strip district.
Great deli, lots of boar's head meats and cheeses, pickled eggs, salads, pickles, olives, charcuterie, and lots more.
Like any good market you're paying more for premium products so you won't shop here on a regular basis. It's not hard to drop two c notes here on one visit. But we have to treat ourselves once in awhile, don't we?
