  • A highlight in my week!

    The Pittsburgh Dish has quickly become such a highlight when I see it in my feed each week! Doug’s questions are thoughtful and showcase the talents of his diverse and delightful guests, leaving me so excited to try the Pittsburgh dishes they discuss. I also love the little “extras” at the end (recipes, wine pairings, fun food stories, etc.) What a light-hearted and inspiring listen!
