pittsburgh bachelor party food & drink
I’m wondering if some place like the Church Brew Works http://www.churchbrew.com/ or PennBrewery http://www.pennbrew.com/Restaurant.aspx might not be the right type of place. Both have good food and great beer. Church Brew Works is large and noisy and the Penn Brewery has a room downstairs. Don’t know about cost for that.
Choc Mousse, what am I doing wrong , adding eggs to chocolate, it goes beserk !!!! ???
"I have nearly a third extra mousse"
Oh,yes, that sounds terrible!!
A ramp (wild leek) trip!
If you get that far south, be careful driving through Summersville, WV. It's notorious for speed traps.
If you want a snack to knaw on as you travel, Herb Britner's Smoke House and Radiator Shop is off of I-79 just north of Pittsburgh. You can grab a piece of smoked Kolbassi and smoked cheese and just chunk away on them as you travel.

One dinner in Pittsburgh
" i want to pick that bakery up and transport it home with me."
Yeah. We usually try to do that ... in boxes piled in the back seat.
The 5 best EVER dessert cookbooks?
Certainly nothing approaching the Paris-Brest cake or even the Kugelhopf of the Dannenberg book. I just didn't want to say that, exactly. (appropriate emoticon here)
Come to think of it, the restaurant was uninspiring, too. What the heck - it's Paris!
The 5 best EVER dessert cookbooks?
Pastryrocks - It's been several years since you posted the above. Despite oakjoan's post, I thought you were comparing two widely differing levels of bakery goods. I'm wondering if you ever got both books and compared them?
Best enameled cast iron cookware?
The easiest thing to do is to wash them, dry them, and put them back in a warm oven for a little while. That gets rid of any moisture. With or without oil.
Mauviel Copper Cookware on sale
Thanks. I know almost nothing about these pans. That site is probably selling to the general public and not to real "Chowhound-ers."

Getting "sold out" very quickly. Maybe these are real deals.

World's best Brownies?
With a name like BUTTERtart, I'll certainly take your word for it. Thanks.
World's best Brownies?
This sounds great, but I have a question. How much butter is a "cube"? Is it a "knob" or is it a stick?
Do Italians put chicken on pasta?
There musta been a reason for someone to invent "city chicken."
Is there a difference between pommes frites and french fries?
We have potato pancakes and we have latkes, same ting
put potatoes in your ravioli, they become pirogi, new country
Add cooked fish to your mash to make fried fish cakes, now it’s dinner

Is there a difference between pommes frites and french fries?

Pgh Restaurant Closings/Changes
I wonder if there's anything that could be called a French restaurant left in Pittsburgh.

If you own a restaurant ... PLEASE ... show your hours on your Home Page. Don't make me and everyone else have to guess if they're on your Menu Page, Maps/Directions Page, Lunch Menu, About Us Page, Contact Us Page, or where ever else your imagination pleases.
Just put the hours on the Home Page.
Thank You

Fat Heads!! Fat Heads!! Fat Heads!!!
Skip Primanti's - it's true claim to fame is as the place to go after the bars close.

Not all Smithfield Group restaurants are equal. They added an existing place called Log Cabin Inn to their wagon train a few years ago. We stopped there and I ordered Cuban Black Bean Soup. They brought a really big bowl that tasted like they poured a can of black beans into a bowl, added some dish water, and didn't heat it. Maybe the Springfield Group has worked their magic on the place since then.
We had a great meal a couple of weeks ago at
Lake House Restaurant
3100 North Service Road
Vineland, Ontario
if you're familiar with it.

Just for general interest, Iron Bridge, Rachel's, and that Springfield Grill in that area are all owned by the same people. They have a few other places with varied names and other Springfield Grills.

Brunch in Pittsburgh
I know this is an old thread, presumably started by someone just visiting, but for more local people, I want to mention that next sunday, Oct. 30, is your last chance for the Sunday brunch at Aldo Coffee. They're shutting the brunch down. The brunches have been foods from areas where the coffee is grown. Next Sunday is Columbian, I believe. I usually just order something I never heard of and it's good.
rescue the pear brandy ...
The reasons for pouring brandy down the drain are (1) to clean out the pipes and (2) to entertain the crocodiles in the sewer system.
Tortellini/ravioli filling question
In a book I have called “Da Silvano Cookbook” there is a recipe for “Tortelline alla Panna” or “Tortellini with Cream Sauce.” In the introductory comments to the recipe it says that they use “tortellini filled with a combination of prosciutto and mortadella.” I’m not likely to make tortellini, but I could make small ravioli with this filling. I wonder if anyone has a recipe for this filling. Or ideas. Thanks.
Cooking from Radically Simple by Rozanne Gold
"My @%$ oven shuts itself off if it gets over 500°F, so I ended up cooking a little longer than in the recipe and then broiling the chicken from the middle rack for about 8 minutes at the end (off and on, since the broiler turns off when the oven gets hot—a safety feature, I guess, but a terrible one), "
That's why you leave the oven door slightly open when you broil. It may even have a detent when you open it a few inches.

What would YOU do with 40 lbs of hierloom tomatoes?
I'm going to add your recipe to my tomato pie file. I was going to suggest trying to freeze some tomato pies, but thought I should read all the replys first. Glad I did; you already said it.
Best enameled cast iron cookware?
I think not. I was merely commenting that it seems that there are ONLY two "list" prices on Le Creuset and that is rigorously enforced. It seems that if you have other pricing in mind, you don't sell Le Creuset any more!
Best enameled cast iron cookware?
I think you called it about two "list" prices. For a while, Caplan Duval was selling Le Creuset for well below "discount list" and then, suddenly, they no longer carried the line. Go figure!
Recommendations for a general cookbook
Don't bother with New Best Recipes. They aren't that good. If you just want to eat and not make a project out of it, Better Homes and Gardens has recipes that work and are what folks eat.
Another approach is to look at Pioneer Woman Cooks, allrecipes, Simply Recipes, and epicurius - all on-line.
