Munch goes to Carnivores

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | Friday, July 12, 2002 | Munch

[Willie Green]

Fruitarians, vegans and lacto-ovo vegetarians, you may want to turn your eyes away. This is a Munch about meat.

Big meat, little meat, red meat, ground meat, meat on the bone. Sizzling meat dripping hot meat juice on Munch's shirt and feet.

[Willie Green]

Pittsburgh ranked in the top five Most Livable Cities in the 1983, 1985 and 1989 editions of the "Places Rated Almanac."

Heck with 'em sushi bars and bean sprouts. Gimme FOOD!

[Frank_Discussion]

Yeah Baby! Makin' a messa ribs this weekend. And I DO mean mess!

[Willie Green]

bump fyi

[KarlInOhio]

Meat with beefy chili poured over it, topped with raw onions and shredded Cheddar

Onions? That sounds like a vegetable. You want something like bacon to provide that last little bit of meaty goodness.

MEAT!

[Willie Green]

Onions? That sounds like a vegetable.

Yeah, but it's a Man's Vegetable, especially when they're raw or batter-coated and deep-fried. Not like them sissy bean sprouts.

[buffyt]

New here?

[Ditto]

Been there. Good food.

Did you ever try to engage in an intelligent conversation with a liberal about eating meat? This liberal isn't even a vegan! But you would think she was! She thinks a Tazmanian Devil could become a vegetarian! I told her that there ARE animals that ARE carnivores. She refuses to believe that.

On a similar note, my sister, another liberal thinks the Calif. gov. SHOULD be able to tell us which cars, trucks, SUVs we should drive or NOT drive! Yet she has a nice big car and her husband has a big full-sized pick up truck; a 2002 model, with a back seat in the cab, talking BIG truck, low gas mileage here!

The other liberal, the vegan excuse maker, thinks the gov. should be able to tell us we MUST carpool and use the HOV lane. When I asked her if SHE does that, she said "No". Other people aren't always going where she is going, so she doesn't carpool. But she thinks OTHER PEOPLE should have to.

Do these liberals care that they are hypocrites? Do they realize they are? Do they know that THEY won't have these freedoms once the freedoms are taken away? Do they THINK they are immune to losing freedoms? Sheesh!!!!

John & Ken on KFI 640 am radio in Calif. listed the vehicles that Calif. state senators and reps. drive and most drive gas guzzling SUVs, Explorers, Lincoln Town Cars, Trucks, etc.!!!! Total hypocrites!!!!

As long as 18 wheelers share the road with me, I prefer as much metal as I can get around me on these crazy LA freeways!!!!

I can see how car pooling can be a great idea if several people have a long way to drive, to same area. But in a small town you would drive more to pick up your riders than to just drive to work. Plus, many people must drive to more than one place during the day, having several offices to go to, or making calls on customers!

One gal called KFI yesterday and said she has 4 kids plus one is in a wheelchair and if she can't drive a van, she can't take all her kids plus the wheelchair with her. Another gal called in saying that she is Brownie leader and her SUV holds 7, so she is able to take her two kids plus the Brownie troop, in ONE vehicle! Sounds good to me!

But our liberal socialists/commie will not be happy until they tell us when to breathe in breathe out, etc. Plus, globull warming BS... It is cool here in So. Calif again today! Cloudy!!!

[borntofly]

By God this is a restaurant that deserves to explode all over the nation.

I'd eat at Carnivores every time I got near it. Meat IS the best-tasting food on the planet (so long as it is liberally mixed with cheese).

Sadly, the Food Police have brainwashed my mother.
Now, whenever I visit, it takes a little extra effort on my part to compliment her cooking.
Don't get me wrong, Ma is still a pretty dang good cook.
It's just that steamed, skinned chicken breast isn't quite the same as the crispy FRIED chicken she USED to make.
(((sigh)))

[redhead]

I just finished supper. We had scampi tonight: a pound of plump shrimp SWIMMING in butter. GARLICKY butter. A few herbs and a pinch of cayenne, and there you have it. Nectar of the gods. Meaty shrimp. We usually have steak or chops for dinner, but shrimp is a nice change now and then. Dang. I'm making my mouth water again.

Grandma (both of 'em) used to cook with butter. Butter and Lard, maybe some corn oil.
Wouldn't have anything to do with vegetable shortening or margarine -- didn't taste right.
And ALL my grandparents lived into their mid-80s - early 90s.
Don't know why Ma insists on nothing but no-fat chicken anymore.
The steamed is good, but it wouldn't hurt to have fried once in a while, too.
I think she watches too much Oprah.

Doggone it! Last week Mrs. Fierro & I passed by the Pink Link to Oakmont several times on Rte. 28. That sounds like a restaurant I'll have to investigate next time.

Meanwhile, let me heartily recommend Dynasty International Buffet and its variety of Oriental, Italian, and American food bar (20111 Freedom Rd, Cranberry Twp. 724-772-8883). Best $11.38 I ever spent for dinner.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Thanks for the dining info on Dynasty's. It always good to have this info stored in the back of my brain. If you ever get to my neck of the woods here in Weirton, check out DeeJay's for ribs. They're always packed....lots of Pa license plates. Pirates and Penguins have been known to frequent the place, and busloads of ribs have been sent out to teams.

Well Martin, you musta passed right by the old Willie Green Homestead. (although you couldn't have seen it.) When I was a kid, I could walk past 5 homes to the top of the hill and look out across 28, old Freeport Road and the river directly at Oakmont Yacht Club. (Great spot for watching fireworks!) Never heard of the "Pink Link". Is that another restaurant too? Harmarville? Blawnox? Aspinwall? Gotta be along old Freeport Road somewhere.

[martin_fierro]

The Pink Link (a.k.a the Hulton Bridge) to Oakmont 'n'at!

[Willie Green]

Good GRIEF! Did they actually paint it PINK???
Or is it just the effect of the rust showing through the light grey?
