Maple Miso Lattes, Artisanal Croissants & All-You-Can-Eat KBBQ
Korean BBQ, sushi, "artisanal" croissants, and other delectable delicacies are on offer from newly-opened (as well as expanding and reopening) restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and bars in the Pittsburgh region. Executive producer Mallory Falk and contributor Sophia Lo dish (haha) about all the latest eateries and drinkieries coming our way, and what we’re personally looking forward to checking out. We also hold remembrances for some dearly departed favorites (goodbye KLVN, we hardly knew ye).
