Pamela's In Pittsburgh

Pamela's seems to be the place to go for pancakes...or rather, as they call them, flapjacks. What's different. The pancakes are crepe-like and have specialties with lot of stuff stuffing. Mine were stuffed with strawberries, brown sugar and whipped cream. What a way to start the day...big sugar shock! We went to the Pamela's location in Shadyside. I am posed with the owners.

Pittsburgh preview

Went to Pittsburgh but not for the Steelers. Checking out the some of the 89 neighborhoods. Checked in with Esther (my rubber chicken) at the Courtyard by Marriott in Shadyside then met the rest of the writers. Kristin Mitchell of www.visitpittsburgh.com arranged this trip as we ate our way through each of the neighborhoods beginning with lunch at Point Brugge, a neighborhood gathering spot with European cafe mode. We shared an appetizer of an artichoke and spinach concoction. I ordered a lentil soup with lamb sausage followed by a stir fry shrimp dish both of which were a special vs on their regular menu. Esther seemed to enjoy it as well. I later found her trying to eat the head off of a Pittsburgh Steeler.
