Cure - Strip District of Pittsburgh, PA

 

Cure

 

A place where they cure all their own meats, mostly pork, but others as well.

Awesome place. If there are going to be more then 2 of you please make reservations. I can't say enough about this place. Its a small place (dream size for me) set up much as I have pictures a restaurant of mine to be. Service was great. We sat at the table basically in the kitchen.

(see picture below of our view)

 

We could see everything they were doing. No hiding. It was great. The detail that Chef Justin put in every dish was awesome.  I had Hanger Steak with pickled onions, horseradish custard, onion jam, brown butter potato puree, beet puree and buttered wilted lettuce. WOW. It sounds like a lot of flavors and its a party in your mouth but everything things worked together.  I think its been one of the best dishes I have had so far. (Its different then your standard steak plate)  (See Picture)

 

Jamie had Berkshire Pork Loin with kraut and fried fingerling potatoes.  This too was great.

 

No the pork is not under cooked. It is cooked properly.

 

 

Service was great, food was even better and I highly recommend everyone to try this and I will be taking Freda here sometime in the future.

 

 



Point Brugge Cafe- Pittsburg Area

Point Brugge Cafe

This is a nice place in a quite part of town. They have mostly French dishes however also serve other favorites as well.  Service was great and food matched the service. I talked to a another couple that said they keep coming back because of the great food.  Overall nice place, great food and great service. What more could one want?

Hand Battered Shrimp with Asian dipping sauce was great.

 

Mussels in Red Curry and Coconut Milk. Jamie finally convinced me to try the mussels they were good. It was a first for me.

 

I would recommend this to others and will go back myself.

The Famous- A Steakhouse- Colorado Springs, CO

Lets start out by saying I was at this place in 2007 and my wife and I were quite impressed with the place and the food. So impressed that I still remembered the taste of the steak 7 years later.  Well the steak still tastes the same. The service was great. My ice tea glass was never empty, not once. All of the food was quite good.  I will be back and I would recommend anyone in the Colorado Springs area to stop in and have a filet mignon. Below are a few other items I had.

Appetizer: Charred Pork Belly and Onion Rings

 

Salad Course: Tomato Salad with Onions, Blue Cheese and House Vinaigrette

 

 

 

Entrée; 10 oz Filet Mignon and Green Beans

 

The Filet is seared top and bottom by high heat and has a salt & pepper herb crust. This is what makes it so good.
