Alison Weber's Sightings

with Smashed Potatoes

My favorite seafood for 50 years!

FWD:

Generous serving of fries, bacon, chilli, cheese, and jalapenos, plus sour cream

You can't claim to have experienced Pittsburgh until you've had this sandwich! French fries, cole slaw and italian meats make this a classic miners' meal.

Three selections of cheese, seasonal fruit, house-made fig cake & baguette. The waiter recommended three types of cheese from soft to firm, including a goat cheese, a cow cheese, and a sheep cheese :) . The dish had some thinly sliced pear, a fig compote, a fig cake, and a basket of sliced baguette. The cheeses were really, really good!

Not your basic ham and cheese sandwich! A melted gruyere and thinly sliced ham on slightly toasted bread, covered with bechamel sauce and, with apologies to the chef, a scrambled instead of fried egg. The somewhat hotly spiced salad greens and marinated onions on the side enhanced the whole culinary experience beyond my expectations.

Great accompaniment for the Gewürztraminer. A warm flavorful cream cheese augmented by some roasted greens and spread on thin toast was a promising beginning for our brunch!
