Description unavailableImage by arvindgrover via Flickr

Big Burrito’s (They are the folks behind the most tasty dining spots in Pittsburgh – MadMex, Kaya, Soba and others) Chef Bill Fuller (and food blogger) appeared on the NBC today show this morning (it will air here in Pittsburgh at 1pm) for a Super Bowl cook off. Bill is a regular guest on KDKA’s Pittsburgh Today live and does a great job. Today was no exception. He put together an amazing spread of super bowl food that shows off Pittsburgh. On super bowl days – fried onions are vegetables.  In addition to burgers and bacon – Bill shows off some other local favorites – Iron City Beer and Gobs.  Where can one purchase those delicious looking treats?

Very Important Info – Happy Hours in Pittsburgh

MartiniImage by ginsnob via FlickrThe kind souls who write the e-newsletter for the Big Burrito group included this handy list of Happy Hours in their last email (as well party with Chef Bill Fuller). I thought it would be wise to republish this list here for future reference.  Where else do you go for happy hour?  Please leave a comment below or send an email so we can keep adding to this list.

  • Casbah, 5 pm to 7 pm
    • Visit our comfortable lounge or bar for a wide selection of cocktails and wines for just $6. Plus, $1 off all beers by the bottle.
  • Eleven, 4 pm to 6 pm
    • Eleven is rolling out a brand new, romance-centric special to warm up the cold city evenings. Our Martini + Oyster Happy Hour has three $6 items: Martinis, 1/2 dozen oysters on the half shell, and several wines by the glass.
  • Kaya, 5 pm to 7 pm
    • One of the city’s happiest! Kaya keeps it delightfully simple with half off all* single serving drinks. Beers, wines, tropical drinks, cocktails, you name it. Great with a couple tropas. *There are a few odd exceptions, including perilously strong Belgium beers.
