Being one of my most favorite type of food, I must say that I have been longing for some good thai food for quite some time after living in pittsburgh for over a year now. And Chantanee didn’t disappoint. It’s been mentioned as a local favorite that is hard to find, but when people do, they’re glad they made the effort. They have a long extensive menu that you can see for youself on their website and you can order every dish up to 5 levels of hotness. I chose 3 “hot” and it wasn’t too bad. Next time I may try 4. And if you know your thai food, you can also make requests for any dish and the chef will make it special for you. (it’s a family owned restaurant so it’s got a nice homey feel)

Having tried chicago style pizza in chicago, I still prefer zachary’s pizzas. I did like chicago’s pizza for it’s crispy, flaky crust and layered toppings, but I love Zachary’s liberal use of tomato sauce. A combination of chicago style crust and toppings with Zachary’s tomato sauce would make a complete pizza.

The salads are made to order and ingredients fresh. Try it with the sweet vinagrette dressing. Delicious. Sometimes they give you a thick clice of honey wheat bread with your salad but it’s hit and miss.

Pittsburgh isn’t known for great ethnic foods, but this place is a welcome little hole in the wall for those who are used to great authentic asian food in larger cities like LA, NY, Bay Area… The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, but the tables are small and service isn’t great.

On a recent trip to NY, my friend took me to this burger place. The burgers are great and expect to shell out $10-15 for a shack burger, fries and custard/concrete. The burger was tasty and juicy but could have used some red onions. Don’t forget the fries!!!
