Review

“Sarah, Julia, Amanda, and Laura simultaneously hold up the chefs of our city as celebrities and, yet, make us all feel like they’re our best friends. The restaurant stories are funny, the food photos are downright pornography, and the recipes are approachable, yet showoff-worthy. The women of EatPGH have let us into the world that they so thoroughly rule by coining the friend-to-table concept, but when we’re chowing down with these foodie femmes, there’s no doubt—we’re at the cool table.”

—Victoria Bradley-Morris, executive editor and managing director, Table Magazine

“There’s so much to be excited about in Pittsburgh’s burgeoning dining scene. Take a cue from eatPGH and invite the city’s chefs into your kitchen with these recipes and stories.”
—Melissa McCart, dining critic, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
 
“Yes! Anyone who loves eating in this scrumptious city of ours will want to know these places, these chefs, and their tasty new contributions to our ever-expanding Western Pennsylvania food world. Even if you don't want to cook these things at home, this colorful tome will remind you of where to go, who to trust, and what to taste in so many new places!”
—Rick Sebak, producer, WQED public TV
