 You could add:

 - Fish sandwich at Benkovitz in the Strip
 - Primanti's hot sausage sandwich
 - Cream pie at Ritter's Diner on Baum Boulevard
 - Pizza at Mineo's
 - Buffalo wings at Fathead's on the Southside

 Mmm, I'm getting hungry...

 Ahhh, a thread after my own heart...

 If you like burgers and fries, try the fries at Nico's in Bloomfield,
 with cheese preferably, and the burgers at Big Jim's (in Greenfield?).

 Don't forget

     ... the Mystery Sandwich at Chiodo's
     ... 'dem smiley cookies at Eat N Park
     ... ice cream sandwiches at Rhoda's
     ... Iron City beer
     ... Dave n' Andy's ice cream (do I like ice cream?)
     ... and for breakfast throw in birds nests and home fries
         at the Venus Diner on Route 8.

 Enjoy,

 Andy
