Green Chile Queso, Gumbo & More New Pittsburgh Food & Drink
So many new restaurants are popping up in Pittsburgh this spring, each fulfilling a specific craving. Longing for gumbo and jambalaya cooked by a true New Orleans chef? Check out Roux Orleans. Want to try Austrian and Hungarian food all in one sitting? Make a reservation at Titusz. Curious to try dishes that blend New Mexican flavor with Buffalo comfort food? Grab a table at the Eastman. Local journalist and City Cast contributor Aakanksha Agarwal joins executive producer Mallory Falk to talk about the new spots she's most excited about — and pour one out for the dearly-departed Hemingway's, an Oakland staple beloved by generations of Pitt students.
