We were in Pittsburgh this weekend in the Strip District and I had one of the best sandwiches ever. Fresh mozzarella, artichokes and field greens with a vinaigrette douse.
They sure know what to do with two slices of bread in Pittsburgh. At Enrico’s they seem to know what to do with flour, yeast, water and salt.
This operation is BYOB, something we have a shortage of in DC – our liquor laws are not conducive to that privilege and luxury. Now Philadelphia…there’s a city for BYOBing. Thriving restaurant scene hinging on just that. Lemme surf a bit and see if the same holds true for Pittsburgh. Hmm. Found an impressive list on Citysearch.
(Made the mistake of googling “pairing wine with sandwiches”. Now I am blind from information overload. I will, however, file away these sage bits: No dry wines with peanut butter and jelly. Riesling with a Reuben. Course, none of these sound words apply to Enrico’s. For that joint you need to linger in the Italian aisle.)
We encourage you to bring your own bottle of wine. This sentene, from Enrico’s website, is one of my faves. Right up there with, We’ll just charge this to his credit card.
