This is a compliment, right?

 

I know there was some Canonsburg talk in here. Question for you guys, I have a meeting out that way tonight and need reccomdations for a place to grab dinner. Doesn't need to be beer centric but that's never a bad thing

 

Benichopsticks for sushi
Seasame inn for Chinese
Golden pig for Korean (off route 50) food is amazing seating is limited to about 8
Franco's for a wide range of Italian/American food

 

Is that Mexican place still there? Been there twice and really liked it...but kinda seemed destined to fail.

Edit: I know that's vague but I'm willing to bet it's the only Mexican place in Canonsburg in the past few years.

 

You mean Chipotle? Lol Only Mexican place I know that failed is Sirena Taco Joint which was absolutely awesome. Food and vibe were great. Location was so hidden it took me over 6 months to find it. In fact I kept seeing people check in on Untappd but even with gps I couldn't find it and I eventually figured it to be someone's home kitchen or something.

 

He's clearly talking about El Campesino.

 

Los chiludos in southpointe isn't too bad

 

I'm glad it was clear to at least one of us. Yea el campo is stoll there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they a chain Resturant?

 

I was actually joking in my response. I know that wyckyd sceptre is a foodie and was most definitely not talking about El Campesino.

 

I'm highly disappointed in myself for not picking up the sarcasm as I'm the most sarcastic person I know (I think)

 

Tracking online sarcasm can be tough.

I'll also second The Golden Pig, although I think they are closed on Mondays and the spacing is so small in that you are literally eating in someone's kitchen. And this is more towards Bridgeville.

 

Good point. GP is closed sundays and Mondays. Yeah it's strictly a take out place for me.

 

Hahha thanks for the laughs. Ok so the place I'm thinking of is like kinda behind Sarris'. Basically an old house and i remember have some really great tacos on the enclosed porch.

 

Looks like BG just released two new beers...anyone have any insight?
Outdoor mystery-IPA
The goblins - imperial stout

Did a blind with mammoth, haze and some others and mammoth won out for me. Respect what these guys are doing right now.

 

You must be a bodega foodie cuz that's my neck of the woods and know of no such place.

 

I thought someone was being serious earlier when they said that imperial stout was just the name of their new ipa...so they really has an impy stout on? Fuck, it takes way too much brain power to keep up these days.

 

Pretty sure this is what I'm thinking of
