Pittsburgh’s vibrant food scene continues to earn national and international recognition. BBC Good Food named it one of the top 10 destinations for food lovers— the only U.S. city on the list. Zagat, a leading restaurant review platform, even crowned Pittsburgh the “No. 1 Food City” in the country.

 

Innovation is at the heart of Pittsburgh’s culinary identity, driven by its talented chefs. The city boasts more than a dozen James Beard Award semifinalists, including Nik Forsberg of fet-fisk, Kate Lasky and Tomasz Skowronski of Apteka in Bloomfield, and Wei Zhu of Chengdu Gourmet in Squirrel Hill.
