A: I found myself in Pittsburgh one Sunday morning while pursuing the baseball parks of America, and a little bit of preemptive research made it unavoidable to visit Pittsburgh and NOT have a Primanti Bros. sandwich. When I arrived into the city, I parked my car and made my way to Market Square location, where I was told that it was also where a few scenes of She's Out of My League was filmed, (which by the way, I enjoyed that movie since it so closely hit home to a dork like me), but upon arrival, I was mortified to see nothing but construction equipment and chain link fences. But anyway, I go into Primanti's, and I'm bombarded by Pittsburgh sports - this does not bother me, but the sheer magnitude was a bit unexpected. The wall of Clemente, Steel Curtain photos, and my personal favorite, the shoe-string tackle of Nick Harper, which I find amusing to be considered one of the greatest plays in Pittsburgh sports apparently. The rest of the establishment is clean and well-traveled appearing, and lots of high-def televisions satiates the sports-lover's attention whilst waiting on food. So being the tourist that I am, I don't really know what to get, so I ask the waitress of "what is THE food for a tourist like me?" With a confident smirk, she simply says "pastrami," and I thank her for the suggestion, and I realize that it wasn't so much "a suggestion" as it was "the order," and five minutes later, this monstrosity on a baking sheet is presented to me. Thin-sliced pastrami, cole slaw, tomato, and I think there was some cheese in there, but a fistful of fries as well - you guys know the drill. So in conclusion, great success. I thought the pastrami sandwich was the stuff of legend, and just thinking about it has me kind of craving one again, even after lunch. In fact, the best part of this particular trip to Pittsburgh was Primanti Bros., because my Braves ended up sending out the D-team, who naturally failed to beat a mediocre Pirates squad. But the food was good, and that's what's the most important.

A: The visit to BLT Burger was on the night of my 1 year anniversary and a quick stop for drinks and possibly a burger. Upon entering this establishment it seemed promising. The host which we found out was a UFC fighter, but above all the ONLY pleasant employee in BLT Burger. Since we were pressed for time, I decided to just have a couple drinks while Dave had a Turkey Burger and we both agreed that we were going to sit at the bar for faster service. The bartender I think her name was Jessica, not too sure she was the only one not wearing a name tag came over to us and with the grouchiest face and attitude asked us what we wanted to drink. Being from Michigan, I was debating between a Michigan beer or a Guinness and as she stood there arms folded, rocking between her left leg and right leg, huffing, and making me feel like I was wasting her precious time, I finally said "I am sorry can you please give me a moment" She very loudly huffed a huge sigh and walked away......never to return again. I had to flag down a guy and we gave him our entire order, after placing our roder with him he proceeded to wash down the counter and either he smelled like major B.O. or the rag he was using was EXTREMELY dirty!! It was the most disgusting thing I have smelled in a restaurant....we also ended up sitting next to the condiment tray, you know with the fruit and what not, every time it opened fruit flies came out. While waiting for our order I did notice that not one single employee in the entire restaurant had a smile on, not one person tried talking to customers after their meals were dropped off, and while sitting at the bar not one person ever bothered to talk to us. Our food was dropped off, dried up burger and burnt onion rings. I am not impressed at all.....finally Jessica came up after the meal and asked us this time with a smile, "would you like some dessert?" My response...."I would never order anything from you or this place again!" We left and I will never eat here again, Bad service, bad food, and just overall bad atmosphere! There are better places to spend that kind of money where people will be more than happy to provide better service.....the only bad part of my 1 year anniversary.

Q: positive

A:
Stopped in today based on yelp reviews. I have passed by this plaza/shops and never noticed it before. Got a coffee and a donut, very similar to a beignet (pillow of fried goodness covered in powdered confectioners sugar). Coffee fresh and strong. Pastry lovely and fresh.
