Pittsburgh Excursion: Waffles Incaffeinated

Me and my fiance love travel. And since we only live a short three hour drive to Pittsburgh, we decided to take a minication there over a weekend. I had also heard Pittsburgh is a foodie's dream come true. And I was not disappointed. Our first stop was Waffles Incaffeinated. And it was delicious.

When we arrived we had decided we wanted to try something both sweet and savory. We ended up waiting in line here for about 30 minutes. It was worth the wait. My choice was the "Funky Monkey"

So now you're probably wondering what all this beautiful waffle incorporates. The inside of the waffle was filled with chocolate chips, and it also has a peanut butter chiffon on top (the best thing like ever)..(no, seriously), and then it was also topped with bananas, powdered sugar, and a light chocolate drizzle. The BEST waffle I have ever had.

Next in line, our savory pick. We chose the Southern waffle. This waffle was filled with a spicy chorizo sausage and cheddar cheese. Upon the top was fresh pico, jalapeño, and we decided to go with the poached eggs. (You get to decide which kind of eggs you would like, typically they use fried) Along the side they placed a small dollop of sour cream. It was beautifully constructed.

And last, but DEFINITELY not least, we had decided to order a side of potatoes. These were soooo flavorful. They did not need salt nor ketchup. All in all this place was very good. And I was really impressed. We also did not use the syrup that was brought out to us, the waffles were too good! I do believe they make their own syrup as well!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Amorino has the Gelato

Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well. When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
