It's Restaurant Week! When places all over the city offer special menus with three or four delicious courses. But choosing where to go can be tough – this week and any week, really – because there are so many great options. So we're tapping in food writer Emily Catalano, who's tried more than 80 spots for Pittsburgh Magazine, to share her personal favorites – most surprising, most perfect, where the chefs go, most splurge-worthy, best bang for your buck, and more!

We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag.
