We’ve all asked the questions.

“Is the food any good?” “Is it a nice place?” “Where’s it at?” “How much is it gonna cost?”

Enter Eric Fontana and his wife Christina, who joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to answer those questions–or at least provide the source of the answer.

Eric, who is the founder of the Facebook page “Meat & Potatoes Of The Steel City”, spoke about his newest publication “The Hidden Restaurant Gems Of Pittsburgh”, a book that covers select local restaurants throughout Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.

He and Christina spoke about the inspiration behind the book, the reasoning behind the grading scale used for rating restaurants, and why certain restaurants were not in the book (spoiler: it won’t be his last book).

“The Hidden Restaurant Gems Of Pittsburgh” is available in hardcopy and e-book formats, and can be purchased by clicking here. To suggest your favorite restaurant to Eric and the crew, you can email him by clicking here.
