We're now living in the 'burgh while my husband is in grad school. We're looking for some recs for interesting and good food to be found in and around Pittsburgh (any price range...it's the food that counts!) THANKS!!

That's a somewhat qualified suggestion. I haven't eaten extensively in Pittsburgh. But the Steelhead Grill wasn't bad.

I spent a few drunken weekends in the burgh in college in the late 80's. I remember huge orders of Fries at the "O" in Oakland and the french fries and cole slaw sandwiches at Primanti Bros. Pretty standard tourist fare I'm sure but it was great back then after a night of "Ahruns".

The standard Pittsburgh two course meal in the 1970s...

"Imp 'n Arn"

Imperial Whiskey and Iron City beer. A round cost about $1.50, as I recall
Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.
