LIFE: Thanksgiving in the 'Burg

Pittsburgh Carsen Street Art CocktailSarnie Pittsburgh

Yesterday we got back from a bit of a whirlwind of a trip to Pittsburgh for thanksgiving - a mix of seeing family and attending Joe's high school reunion. But it was also a couple of days to cram in as much great eating and drinking and trying to avoid all the mad black Friday sale shoppers.

While I was defeated by yet another Primanti Bros sandwich (a Pittsburgh staple where you get your fries inside your sarnie) we did have some lovely cocktails from their bar, including a Drunk Duck which came with it's very own mini duck which is now finding it's home here in Michigan. I also found the best fish n chips since moving to the US in a Scottish themed pub - The Piper's Pub in Pittsburgh's South Side. The pub was jam packed for the Premiership games they were showing, and after a 40 minute wait for a table, I was greeted with a pile of fish that was battered just how you'd get back in the UK and actually, thick chips. Nom indeed. 

Thanksgiving is never the best time of the year to get out and exploring the city so we'll save that for another trip in warmer times.

Hope you all had a grand Thanksgiving/weekend!
