This week's restaurant spotlight is on Pork-n ‘Nat, located at 8032 Rowan Road in Cranberry.

Hey, it beats joining a bowling league.
Writer Kelly Burgess took readers on a Happy Hour Tour last week. Here is the second part of that adventure. Day 3: Cranberry/Mars and cultural confusion It was Day 3 of our Happy Hour Extravaganza! I was dropping off some marching band-related paperwork to a fellow volunteer, and I told her about my happy hour adventures. "That is so cool," she said. "My husband and I have been looking for different things to do now that the kids are older, so we joined a bowling league. Happy hours sound like much more fun!" It was, but it also was a little difficult to do this every night, four nights in a row, for those of us who have passed the happy-hour-quick-recovery age by a couple of decades. But here we were at happy hour No. 5… …Domenico's, …

Great food, good service, good wine: Get in there and eat!
Overview: Grazie is located in the Oxford Athletic Club in Wexford. Once part of the North Park Lounge chain of restaurants, it is now privately owned. There is also a Cabana Bar on the athletic club premises, adjacent to Grazie, which is still part of the North Park Lounge group. It's an over-21 bar with just a few food choices. The Cabana Bar is right next to a large, outdoor pool. Grazie is Italian-themed, but there is a wide variety of food on the menu. The menu is a work in progress and is not online at this time. Based upon the signs we saw, the theme of the restaurant seems to be, "Get in here and eat!" Just like home. We were there on a Sunday evening and it was not busy in the indoor dining area. However, the large, outdoor …

Not real Q. Real Q is smoked over a pit not in a propane powered stainless steel smoker. Clem's in Blairsville is the closest we have to real Q. I wish we could get a Rudy's up this way. I've tried Pork n At 3 times and it is overpriced and not very good at all. Black's in Lockhart, TX is the best Q I've ever had. more ›
