Pick up and get home and/or back to work. Lack of decent italian bread and kaiser rolls outside Pgh. is a problem. I miss Sgro's which is now some rehab place. AGGGGGGGG! The deserts! Red Bulls, what theres 1 ! ! ! Left, the "steak house" by the airport. While the ex Red Bull now Curringas Inn in Washington serves many of the same things, thankfully. Lobster Pot & Steak, and Lobster bisque! Theres not a bad thing on the menu. Some other GREAT locals are The Main in Carnegie, and theres this little italian place on the way into Carnegie off I79 whose name escapes me. The Blue Flame and the Hilltop in Large on SR51. Orange Julius, they all disappeared in Pgh. I resorted to going to Morgantown to get them and making a some what similar drink at home via the Produce Partners Orange Frost packets. >We still don't have a real Mongolian BBQ in this area, >which is surprising given Pittsburghers love of meat and >like of Chinese food. While not chinese, you want BBQ, then you your missing out on Sonnys BBQ, pork, beef, or chix. Right now they have all you can eat Pork BBQ with fries, Texas Toast Garlic Bread, Cole Slaw for $7.00. MMMMMMMMM! Unless they finally remodeled the Benihanna Greentree (which as was something else) it was a dump last I was in it 2 years ago. Some other examples: Hungry Howies Pizza - takeout or all you can eat buffet $4.00! CiCi's Pizza - similar to the above. Pizza Outlet is a much better choice over Pizza Hut any day, but the above 2 wipe it away. Now if only the Pizza Works was still around in Mitchells Corners in Upper St. Clair. If you didn't like greasy pizza then you should just pass. Sizzler, Ryans Steakhouse, Quincys don't compare to the few Golden Corrals. Now something that is missing in many areas a Strip District like area, NYC etc have similar areas, but many other cities don't. The Strip is a sorely missed area when your trying to get any thing from food to general merchandise. Food ain't the only thing Pgh. has been behind on, until recently Target was not in the area, now they have 6 stores. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Email To: wpascanner at yahoo dot com The Western Pennsylvania Scanner Frequency Page http://www.wpascanner.com Western PA Scanner Mailing List - Join the Radio Scanner Web Ring - Find a scanner web site quickly! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Just say NO to Peking 2008 Olymics NO! !

Up on McKnight there is an Oriental Buffet that has an 'almost' Mongolian BBQ. The variety isn't there, but the concept is. I think it's Super Chinese Buffet, but the names all run together in my brain. It's right near the Best Buy. IMO, their buffet is the best in the Burgh, they have a few dim sum offerings as well! (Including my favorite, steamed pork buns) Give them a try! Martha Underwood

IMO, their buffet is the best in the Burgh, they have a few dim sum > offerings as well! (Including my favorite, steamed pork buns) Actually there is another one of these now in Cranberry in the Cranberry mall (lower level) near the theater. There's a Mongolian BBQ section in the back that is pretty good, though of course it doesn't have quite the variety of a dedicated Mongolian BBQ. It's also the only Chinese buffet I've found with sweet bean balls (mmm...). I like the Cranberry one better than the one on McKnight.
Oriental Super Buffet is it. Its setached to the left of North Hills Village Mall.
