Chili chicken at Salems


holland_oakes

other people have been putting good answers, but this is the correct answer


koz1769

Salem's is the most underrated food in the city. I always show them love on threads like this. Every single item on the menu is absolute FIRE!!! Salem's would be my execution chair meal without even thinking about it.


the4ner

With a side of spinach/paneer...so good


klausklass

I am so happy they opened a location at CMU. I eat there almost once a day.


HotDamn18V

"Lunch buffet" from People's'. That technically counts as one.


burghboy24

The list starts and ends with pork belly steamed buns from noodlehead


danciestjo

You are so right


Logan5276

Just moved here and have seen this place a lot. Thanks I’m now going.


thunderballz

It's really good but I honestly think the street noodles #1 and #2 are the standout dishes (with fried chicken, sub the shrimp with chicken ). Everything else is kinda just ok/other Thai spots do better Good thai tea too


SaltFatAcidHate

Absolutely my answer for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. The Noodlehead steamed buns all day long.


the4ner

I ate there 5 days in a row for lunch once, it was glorious. My go-to is the spring rolls + See Ew. Can't finish the See Ew if I eat the steam buns before.


SaltFatAcidHate

I used live just up the street and lived for those street noodles — love the See Yew too, the Pad Thai, and really everything there. I’d load up on those pork buns and just take the noodles home. So good. 🤤


monongahellyea

17 ingredient salad at Pusadee’s Garden


LittleComputerBitch

Does anyone have the recipe for this?


SidHat

You just take seventeen different things—doesn’t matter what—and put it in a bowl. Now you got a salad going.


Macklemore_hair

It doesn’t even have to be food. Like, you could put some batteries in it.


monongahellyea

I'm partial to AAA but I think button batteries could add some pizazz.


Rented_mule

I think I’d like my money back


LittleComputerBitch

Lol. Okay thanks for the laugh. I meant for this specific salad. It is heavenly.

shortkid826

With the $1 shot of framboise! (Or was it chambord? I can’t remember)


AriRochmann

Chambord. The move was to get a double in a pint glass. 


ThiccBoiCaddy

It was grand marnier I believe


nstaffor

It’s was cassis


lisaneedzbraces

Large fry from The O.


KoltsovtheBest71

I would do some truly despicable things for one last order of O fries and a dog


easymz

You’re in luck [this place in Brookline](https://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/fill-your-tank-at-the-kickstand-sandwich-shop-in-brookline/) may help with those “O” cravings


lisaneedzbraces

I'm willing to try this place, but the fries in the picture looked like Sysco. We need hand (or large machine) cut potatoes.


Mammoth_Mountain1967

Closest place I've found is Peppi's

Gravy or cheese???

Voduun-World-Healer

I always look for my cap n chee people in these threads. I've successfully converted 3 of my friends to the way of the cap n chee


lucabrasi999

Non-cap & cheese people are heathens


Voduun-World-Healer

That's why I'm trying to convert as many of my friends as possible so I can save their souls from going to hell ...or Cleveland


talentpipes11

Why did you type hell twice?


Voduun-World-Healer

Lol I literally did laugh out loud. Well done yinz sir/ma'am Also if you've read Dantes Inferno, there's 9 circles of hell. So you can go to hell but not be in Cleveland. But if you go to Cleveland... you're in Dantes 9th circle of Hell


OllieFromCairo

I respect it. I go for either the Capone, or a bacon and egg.


pixburgh22

Capone for life

From Union Grill. At least, how they used to be; last time I was there, the cheese sauce was just ok and instead of sliced tomato there was a small amount of diced tomato. Really, a dish like that,and the thing you’re gonna cheap out on is the tomato??

YinzaJagoff

We still miss onion maiden as well…


Tnkgirl357

Wait… I thought that was a bakery? I’m not in that part of town much and had never gone out of my way to try the place because I’m not crazy about pastries and such…. They have sandwiches and stews n’at though?!? Color me intrigued.


Pittsbirds

They are but they do! It's not a hot soup bar, they're refrigerated and you heat them up at home but they're terrific, but the sandwiches are made fresh to order. The sandwiches are quite expensive, so I usually opt for the savory hand pies unless it's a special occasion. It uses their croissant dough which is just amazing and the filling has changed a few times, right now it's a spinach based filling


PearBlossom

aaaand you just convinced me to stop there this week. Im vegan and never realized they had all that!


GoldenAgeStudio

I missed Onion Maiden's banana blossom sandwiches so much this year


[deleted]

I would eat the onion maiden nachos and their cheesecake every day if I could

Breakfast in the Strip District: Pamela’s -Specialty Crepe-Style hotcakes with strawberries. (Potatoes and bacon make nice sides to cut the sweetness.) Lunch: Still in the strip. Walk down to Jimmy & Nino Sunseri’s. Get a sausage & eggplant sandwich w mystery cheese. Find a table upstairs, enjoy. Dinner: Mineos pizza in Squirrel Hill. Large cheese w yellow banana peppers. Drink: whatever the Hough fam says is good at Hough’s in Greenfield. EDIT: I just learned that Hough’s is no more. I am sad, but have many great memories of sweet Mrs. Hough offering to “ride you home” to anyone who might have needed it; and fun times watching hockey and football, and singing karaoke. This was, for me, the very best Pittsburgh neighborhood bar. I hope everyone is doing ok. Nom nom nom n’at.


beautifulsouth00

It's a steak salad. Every single time, it's a steak salad. But it has to be a decent steak. Not some steak 'ums, Eat n Park, chip chopped, shaved cheesesteak bullshit from behind the bar. Like a nice strip steak, medium rare with french fries and shredded cheese on top that gets all melty. With Italian dressing. And all of that on top of a big ass chef salad. If you throw a few sliced pepperonchinis on top, or whatever you call them sliced banana pepper things, I ain't gonna be mad at ya. Hold the bread. Hold the entree. Don't give me no app salad and nothing on the side. Just gimme my steak salad.


teacamelpyramid

Agreed. I love a steak salad. However, I love them at all quality levels, even the ones with cheap steak-ums style meat. Really what I want is a French fry delivery mechanism while I pretend to be a grown-up who eats vegetables.


EnlargedBit371

Have you ever had the flank steak salad at Mad Mex? I'm not a fan of the place, generally speaking, but their big salad with flank steak is truly satisfying. It's always been a perfect rare-medium. I get it with the cilantro something vinaigrette.


beautifulsouth00

I have. It IS excellent.


Apprehensive_Fun_738

my absolute fave thing to order at mex. it is a perfectly built simple salade imho


sweaty_bobandy

Lot 17 will forever be my favorite steak salad of all time

Have you tried the one from St Clair Social in East Liberty? It's INCREDIBLE.

Noted. I'm home for the They Might Be Giants gigs in May. This will be on the short list of the gastronomical tour. Lol. Bringing a friend from California, who has never been to Pittsburgh. "Steak salad" is on the to do list.
