Just a short drive up 79N, just past Cranberry is the town of Zelienople, PA. Fisher’s Bar and Grill is located at 131 Main Street.
This Saturday, May 10, 2008 is their annual Crawfish Broil. The crawfish are caught fresh in Louisianna on Friday morning and shipped up to PA for Saturday. The fun starts at 11 and goes til close. Tables will be set up in back. If crawfish isn’t your thing, they will have their regular menu available also.
You could not asked for a nicer afternoon to reopen the Harris Grill. I have not had a chance to
stop in yet but I have received emails from a few many fans of the Harris asking me to share the news that the Harris Grill has reopened for business. I am very very happy to have the Harris Grill back.
If you are new to IheartPGH or to Pittbsurgh, the Harris Grill is a wonderful locally owned restaurant that has been closed since they had a fire last summer. The Harris is especially great for warm weather because they have two great big patios – that are perfect for outdoor dining and drinking. I did drive by at around 8pm this evening and there was even a line to get a table.
The Harris Grill is located on Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside.
More blog coverage of the reopening is available here and here
Franktuary is getting into the political spirit. With the primary election just a little over 2 weeks away, Franktuary has cooked up a poll of their own. The Sausage Poll – from now until election day – Franktuary is offering 2 special items:
They are keeping a tally of which item is ordered more on the website SausagePoll.com – the tally is updated daily. So far the Barackwurst is in the lead but it is anyone’s race. Stop by Franktuary to literally eat your vote.

This is a nice twist on an already great idea. Big Burrito has been hosting wine tastings at the Warhol for years. They are spicing things up a bit with new beer tastings. Even better they are kicking off this new event with the folks from Church Brew Works. My friends from New York City came to Pittsburgh last weekend – one of our many stops on Saturday was the Church Brew Works which they now call the beer church. I am a fan of the beerimisu event if our server said it wasn’t made with beer. Beer tasting and beer prizes – this is a great idea for happy hour!
Friday, March 14, 2008, 5:30 and 7:30 PM
Join The Warhol and big Burrito as we kick off a new series of Good Friday events.
On the second Friday of every month, a regional microbrewery will be presented by the brewers themselves or their distributors. The ticket price includes a smattering of beer snacks and full admission to the museum.
The beer tastings kick off on March 14. Meet the Church Brew Works Brewer Brant Dubovich and Tony “The Beerman” Knipling, Specialty Brand Manager of Vecenie Distributing. On exhibit for the evening will be Celestial Gold Pilsner, Pipe Organ Pale Ale, Pious Monk Dunkel and ThunderHop IPA. Church Brew Works prizes will also be given out to lucky participants.

Monday, March 10, 5:30-7:30pm at Enrico’s, 2022 Penn Ave., Strip District
$15/person to benefit the Union Project
I know this is last minute notice but I wanted to share this
invitation with Pittsburgh. On Monday night there is a little event to benefit the Union Project (which is one of my favorite places/organizations in Pittsburgh) at the Enrico Biscotti Company in the strip district – which is probably my most favorite place to dine in Pittsburgh. Enrico’s Cafe is a tiny little hidden cafe behind the biscotti shop on Penn Ave that has an amazing atmosphere, delicious food, open kitchen.
The cafe is usually only open for lunch, but on Monday they will be open for this special event. The event is only $15 and everything goes to support the Union Project. I will be there – I hope you will consider stopping by for a great event.
Another fun fact about the Enrico Biscotti Company is that it was the setting for the film The Bread My Sweet – which starred Scott Baio and was filmed at the biscotti co in 2001. The film was released on video under the title A Wedding for Bella. You can read my blog post about the film here.
If you can RSVP to hilary@unionproject.org if not please just show up!
