holiday eating

i love the holidays because it means food, food & more food!
this season i spent a bit of time traveling, which always means tasty meal options...
pittsburgh, washington dc, richmond & southport, nc
offered us some delicious items to put in our mouths!

here is a visual recap with web links!

The Pennsylvania Macaroni Company
is a must for meats & cheeses. They do mail order!
Primanti Brothers,
because fries taste great on sandwiches!
Yacht Basin Eatery
has amazing Italian food in an unexpected location. Check it out if you are in Southport, NC.
