Quote: Personally, I like the tuna on flatbread with giardiniera.
Mmmm! There's a country store within walking distance of El Casa Bekki. They have some pepper relishes which are to die for! And there's another across the creek that has more of those canned garden yummies.
Over in the Strip District in Pittsburgh is a grocery store known as the "Lotus Food Company". If you're looking for exotic Asian condiments or stuff you never thought humans would eat then it's worth a visit on a Saturday morning. There is also a shop in the Strip that sells Mexican spices and other yummies. Not to mention the Parma Sausage Company, Wholey's fish market and other places. You can literally find a world of cuisine in the Strip.
And while you're closing out your strip visit you can't leave until you have a Primanti's sandwich! A steak sandwich with slaw and fries is just yet another form of pure awesome. :-)
Since you watch the Food Network have you checked out one show on there recently where a couple guys do their best to stomach some of the spiciest food out there?
