When I looked at the menu at Meat & Potatoes, I wanted absolutely everything they had to offer. Seriously, I've never had such an extensive conversation over what to order, how to order it and at which pace everything should come out. It would have been overwhelming if it wasn't so much fun. \n\nMeat & Potatoes is regarded as one of the best, if not THE best, restaurants in Pittsburgh. It's cool, it's funky, it's got a super-talented chef with an interesting menu full of culinary delights and treasures to choose from. I love that you can go either all small plates and share everything from mussels done one of three ways to a plate of delectably roasted Brussels sprouts with a few pork belly tacos thrown in in for good measure, or sit down to a proper three- or four-course meal with superb wine and service. The menu is flexible and fun, but the food is incredibly complex and refined without being stuffy, pretentious or over your head. It is meat and potatoes, after all. \n\nI would highly recommend making a reservation well in advance, coming with a friend or a few, having one of their marvelous cocktails and then ordering a bunch of plates that appeal to you. Then I would do it all again a few nights later so you can have all the things you weren't able to stuff in your face that first night, because like I said, you'll likely want one of everything much like I did. And everything is soooooo goooooood.
