Feeding Curiosity
I just want to talk about food. Is that so wrong?!
Favorite Meals
OATMEAL
Made lovingly at home every morning
Steel-cut oats, honey, and mixed nuts.

I keep my options open, trying as many different oils as I can. Yes, it’s a meal.
Various locations
Herb-roasted chicken, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, white balsamic vinaigrette, and a slice of focaccia.

CAMPAGNARD
Anything that my wife cooks is amazing. I am so lucky to spend time with her while she cooks, I clean, and we chat.

DINNER AT HOME
Top Three Pizza Shops
BADAMO’S PIZZA
Dormont, PA
It just hits. The crust, the toppings, the crew that works there — it’s a family favorite.
The sweet sauce, the sweet dough, it’s a heavy hitter that makes everyone happy.
FIORI’S PIZZA
Brookline, PA
VINCENT’S PIZZA
So much grease. And, they used to smoke cigarettes while they made it in front of you. So, there’s that.
Forest Hills, PA
Favorite Sweets
GRAETER’S ICE CREAM
Mt. Lebanon, PA
I still don’t know what French Pot Ice Cream is, but I’m addicted.
HOLE DOUGHNUTS
Asheville, NC
Hands down, the best doughnut.
ORAM’S DONUTS
The coffee-flavored donut is out of this world. It counts as an entire breakfast.
Beaver Falls, PA
GREAT WALL OF CHOCOLATE
P.F. Changs (Various Locations)
It’s a WALL OF CHOCOLATE, okay?
