The greater Pittsburgh area is full of good food, but it’s not just about the taste on the plate…but also the taste of the atmosphere.

Eric Fontana, who released a book about the best restaurants in the GPA a year ago, recently launched a new website about his restaurant travels and insights: restaurantgemsofpittsburgh.com. He covers restaurants that are locally owned, and he talks about the atmosphere and affordability of the restaurant along with the quality and size of the food itself.

Fontana sat down with Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the new website, and the symbiotic relationship that he has with these restaurants as a reviewer. He also talked about the need to be unique in his presentation in the same way the establishments he reviews; in both cases, anything that seems ordinary will be deemed as such and lost to the public eye.

Eric is the son of former WMBA disc jockey and play-by-play announcer Bill Fontana.
