Surprisingly enough I had never had any type of tea up until last year. The first tea I had was at Pho Minh, a Vietnamese place here in Pittsburgh. I really enjoyed it and started looking into tea, and since I watch Diggnation and follow Kevin Rose on twitter, I learned about loose tea. So…
Pittsburgh's First TasteCasting – Melange Bistro Bar
A while ago I was invited into the Pittsburgh TasteCasting group. TasteCasting is a team of people that get invited to restaurants and eateries for a complementary tasting. In exchange the team members share their experience with their collective networks of friends on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. The Pittsburgh TasteCasting group is a new addition…
Sushi Too in Shadyside
Sushi places are few and far between in Pittsburgh and actually finding good ones is even harder. A few weeks ago I was in Shadyside looking at apartments with my friend Sebastian and it was getting late so we decided to look for places to eat. Shadyside is a great place to find unique restaurants….
Crazy Mocha
In my never-ending search for cool, relaxing places to work at during the day I have come upon a really cool place that anyone who lives in Pittsburgh should know about, Crazy Mocha. My first experience with Crazy Mocha was at the Southside Works location on East Carson street. The first thing I noticed when…
In-N-Out Burger
In-N-Out Burger is basically a west coast institution, so many people from the west coast are surprised that we don’t have In-N-Out’s here. In-N-Out burger was first opened in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California. Since then it has expanded with restaurants all over California and in Arizona and Nevada too. I was hanging out in…
IANteract Dinner at Rum Jungle
Well as many of you know I was in Las Vegas for CES, but also Affiliate Summit West was going on towards the end of our stay in Vegas. I debated on whether to attend the show or not, but I decided against it because I was already crushed with work for ThinkComputers. I know…
Lulu’s Noodles
A few weeks ago I got a chance to get some Pho again, but this time it was not at Pho Minh. This time we decided to check out Lulu’s Noodles. Lulu’s is located on Craig Street, which is right between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Unlike Pho Minh, Lulu’s is a…
Grilled Shrimp
One thing that people always assume is that I eat out a lot, I’m really not sure why that is because I rarely eat out. I work from home so it really is a pain to drive somewhere to eat and fast food is really bad for you too. I really do enjoy cooking and…
Pho Minh in Pittsburgh
It has been a while since I had my last Pho, and that experience was not authentic according to John Chow. He said you need to go to small place not a place in a Vegas hotel. I have been craving Pho, especially since the guys go each week. Now there are not many Pho…
Dinners at Ad:Tech
With any conference there are dinners. It is a good way to catch up with old friends who you only get to see a few times a year. Also it is a great way to network and meet new people. Ad:tech is only 3 days long so there was not that many dinners to attend,…
Sakkio Japan
I don’t go to the mall that often, only when I need to get some clothes or pickup a new video game or something like that. I have lived in the North Hills area all of my life so the mall that I would always go to is Ross Park Mall. I’ve seen it go…
Lunch at Sushi Tomo
Over the past year I’ve gotten a real appreciation for Japanese food. I had my first Sushi back in 2006, but never really started eating it on a constant basis till about 4 months ago. After having amazing Sushi in Las Vegas from Social House and Nobu Ashley and I needed to find some good…
Sony Online Entertainment Party
As I said before so many parties at CES are the same. Most companies will have their party in a Suite and it usually is the same every year. Well to set themselves apart from other companies Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has a poker tournament in the spirit of Las Vegas. Now originally I was…
Envy Steakhouse with John Chow
If there is one food I couldn’t live without it would have to be steak. It is probably my favorite food. That is why I was so mad that John was not able to have this years TTZ Media dinner at Envy Steakhouse, as I posted earlier we just went to a buffet. Envy Steakhouse…
Dinner and Phantom of the Opera
There are so many CES parties, but they are mostly all the same. This year LiteOn and AOC did something different. These 2 companies went out of their way to really treat us. First they took us to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. I had not been to a show since high…
