After a couple of wild swings in our weather, we’re easing back into what actually feels like fall here in Pittsburgh. This week we’re taking a tour of some fall comfort foods. Know someone who loves dark, roasty beers? We’ve got a look at some local stouts and porters that are prime fall sippers. Turkey day is less than two weeks away. If you’re still shopping for the main course, here are all of the places to order a fresh bird. For coffee and cocoa, we stop by a coffee shop located in a historic spot in Bethel Park. If you’re a fan of hot pastrami and Matzo Ball soup, we catch up with the owner of a new Jewish Deli-style food truck.
