Pittsburgh’s Best Burger

Posted by John on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 7:08 PM

I don’t know if they read my post encouraging blogging about Bloomfield, but Tepper School of Business student EB wrote a delicious review of the famous Tessaro’s burger:

The patty itself was perfectly cooked. A full half pound of loosely packed coarse ground beef. I’m not sure what blend they use (it has to be more than just chuck), but I want to guess around 75-80% lean, which is perfect in my book. The beef itself had an amazing texture and wasn’t heavily seasoned. The beef itself tasted remarkably fresh and just the right amount of “beefy”.

If you’re a carnivore, reading the rest of the review of Tessaro’s should make you hungry. Vegetarians may want to click away.

More Wai Wai

Local blogger Mandy of More of Mandy wrote a complimentary post yesterday titled “Wai Wai in Bloomfield”. I’m not sure why Mandy was immediately taken aback by the New York-esque feel of the tiny place, but she enjoyed her meal, writing the following about her lunch box:

The meal, brought to me by our super friendly and elegantly dressed waiter came served on dishes I was actually jealous of. If only my kitchen could harbor such cool plates. The food was presented beautifully on the plate (that I wanted to put in my purse) and to my pleasant surprise, rivaled Asian eatery, PF Changs. I made sure to mention to our waiter that it was indeed “the best sweet and sour chicken I have ever had, hands down!”

Thanks Mandy, we love it when people enjoy our businesses so much that they write about them, and want to encourage more people to blog about Bloomfield! You can read more about Wai Wai on Shopping Bloomfield here.
