Greetings from Steelers Country

[JillBurgh]

Yes, we Steelers fans are still loyal even after this season fizzled out for us...

Well I've posted a couple of times today so I should introduce myself. I'm 30 years old and, after 12 years of working nights in fine-dining, I finally have a day job, and evenings free to cook!

I am also continually improving and expanding my city garden. (With the help of my garden-tending-boyfriend for the grunt work).

I love this site and I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner. I can't wait to dive in and join the community. I look forward to exchanging ideas with everyone, and working my way up to a "Master Chef."

Hurray for the day job! Welcome to the forum!

Enjoy,
Bryan

Welcome to the DC family!!

 

[Bean208]

Hi Jill! Welcome! I spent two and a half years in Pittsburgh while I attended Duquesne. I loved the city and miss it all the time!! I do have family there so I get to visit once in a while...when I do I hit Primanti Brothers!!

 

[JillBurgh]

Very cool. I graduated from Duquesne in May (Summa CumLaude). I really loved it there, especially as an adult student where I can appreciate it more. They tore down the smaller parking garage by Rockwell and made it into a sprawling park with a panoramic city view. Really beautiful.

Thanks for touching base.. I love Primanti's too (Fried Capi and Egg), we live right by the Strip so we head out there frequently!

 

[David Cottrell]

Welcome Jill, I'm looking forward to some "Steeler" cooking.

 

[tdiprincess]

Welcome... I too know the feeling..more than you about the fizzled season...
I'm from Buffalo. I don't really care much anymore for the Bills. Anyone got suggestions. I will be rooting for the Patriots this year...
But welcome, you'll love it here!

 

[BBQ Mikey]

Here we go!
Primanti's is the stuff, gotta love capi.

.....I'm from Buffalo. I don't really care much anymore for the Bills. Anyone got suggestions.....

Take solace in the fact that you invented the Buffalo chicken wing
And at least made it to the Superbowl

 

[pdswife]

Hi, enjoy and have fun!!!

 

[JillBurgh]

Take solace in the fact that you invented the Buffalo chicken wing

Oooh, good point! I love me some Buffalo Wings. Is OJ from Buffalo, though? That's not a big bragging point, I guess.

BUT... I just learned about the original Beef-on-Weck and it looks outstanding. Ever have a Schwabl's, Princess?
