As you may have noticed from our many posts that mention cooking or baking, many of us on the Eleventh Stack team love to cook. But eating out has its own charm. There are fewer dishes to clean up, less ingredients to buy, and the novelty of trying something new is always fun. CLP has lots of resources for home cooks, but we also carry resources for those of us who enjoy eating out.
Of course, dining out can pose its own challenges, particularly when you’re trying to eat a healthy meal. Books like Eating Out: Your Guide to Healthy Dining, with information from the Mayo Clinic, can help you make sure you’re eating something nutritious. The popular Eat This Not That! Restaurant Survival Guide is another book you can turn to in order to make healthy decisions at a restaurant. And books like The Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating, a publication of the American Diabetes Association, or Living Full and Gluten Free: A Restaurant Guide With a Full Menu help those on special diets discover which restaurant foods they can eat.
If you’re searching for a new place to eat locally, our Pennsylvania Department has some dining guides to the Pittsburgh area. Where the Locals Eat: Pittsburgh is a guide to 100 of the best restaurants in town. The book Where We Like to Eat N’At: Celebrating Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods focuses on 57 places that are uniquely Pittsburgh, with recommendations from Pittsburgh residents on where to find the best pierogies, kielbasa, pizza, and more. If you’re still stuck for a suggestion after looking at those guides, our web site offers reviews and links to many local restaurants.
