Pittsburgh has a lot of unique and great cuisine but has very few options when it comes to Central and Eastern European dishes. At least it did until Brick Shop opened its doors. Located in the TRYP hotel in Lawrenceville, Brick Shop gets its name from the beautiful brick walls and decor.
Moving on to what has become a staple item at Brick Shop, I grabbed my fork and prepared for the yolk break of the khachapuri. Now there is a right and wrong way to eat this one. First, take your fork and swirl the cheese, milk and yolk combo so it spills over the side of the bread bowl – feel free to have a friend Boomerang this beautiful moment. Next eat from the ends to the inside, dipping the dough in the gooey center until you end with the heart of the bowl. After you take your first bite, you’ll quickly understand what all of the fuss is about.
To end this brunch feast we sampled the Brick Shop breakfast. Two eggs over easy, bacon, kielbasa, fried potatoes and toast. At this point we were stuffed, but how could I say no?
