Is there a wrong way to eat an egg?
Think about it. You can answer honestly. Yeah, we couldn’t come up with anything either. Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner, as a dish’s main attraction or as a fried-egg added bonus, you can’t go wrong with a little (or a lot) of egg action. If you agree, then you’ll want to get to these 11 places in Pittsburgh whipping up dishes that are guaranteed to raise your eggspectations.

Mortadella may be what Italian school children eat for an afternoon snack, but this sando & its runny fried egg are grown up, serious business.
