You can count on a new blog post here at Figs and Flights every Friday. 

Today we're covering the best foods from my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. 

Here's everything you need to know about food as it pertains to Pittsburgh, PA, in order of importance.

I was just in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA for a visit. One of our city's greatest culinary contributions are Pittsburgh Salads which are LOADED with toppings and french fries!

These salads are a full meal and include veggies, meat, cheese, garlic bread, fries, and anything else you'd like to add. The finishing touch comes from buffalo chicken, grilled steak or shrimp, or even sriracha tofu!

Figs and Flights {videos} launch every Tuesday. 

Figs and Flights video #12 is Pittsburgh & the cabin!

For the first time since I started making these videos we have actually traveled somewhere. Travel from Seattle, WA to my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA with me. Then collect enough food for FIVE teenagers and venture to the mountains with us for nearly a week at our family cabin. There's rock skipping, game playing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, relaxing, and so much good FOOD.

You'll see what airports look like in COVID TIMES with social distancing signs, floor decals, hand sanitizing stations, and more.

I'm getting ready for my very last trip of 2019, a visit to New York, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

My husband, Bryce, and I are spending 3 days exploring in NYC before we head to my hometown of Pittsburgh for 5 days, for Christmas! 

Follow Figs and Flights on Instagram and Facebook to watch the trip unfold. 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is my hometown. I visited twice last summer and gave you two Fav 5 Travel Guides (part 1 and part 2) plus a little tour of my favorite hometown park, Kennywood! 

This year I visited "da Burg" again and now you're looking at Part 3.

On this year's trip to Pittsburgh we checked so many good spots from the list. You'll enjoy my hyper-local favorite bakeries, plenty of regional coffee, some South Side spots, a celebratory dinner, and an Italian meal to remember.
