Pittsburgh’s Top 10 Restaurants & What Makes Them Great

What makes a restaurant one of Pittsburgh’s best? Is it the food, the service, the atmosphere or something harder to put your finger on? Pittsburgh Post-Gazette dining critic and City Cast contributor Hal B. Klein is back with his annual list of the city’s best restaurants, and this year he’s narrowing down his favorites to a top ten. He joins host Megan Harris to talk about the longtime staples that keep getting better, the newer spots making a name for themselves, and a few surprises that made the cut. Plus, Hal shares what goes into choosing the city’s best restaurants, why being a great place to work matters, and his strong feelings about QR code menus.
