And so we begin

Welcome to the No Rules Eating Club. What is the first rule of the Club? Naturally, that there are no rules.

So, who are we? We are 6 Pittsburgh eaters who get together pretty much every month, usually on a Saturday night to find some neat new (or old) restaurant in Pittsburgh. Our objectives? Have a great time, eat some great food, discover new tastes.

Who else we are:
Mary Alice, a life-long Pittsburgher, born on the South Side, 16 years of Catholic education, worked at Pittsburgh Public Schools, various non-profits and then 22 years as co-owner of the Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont--recently sold to a new owner. Loves just about all food except sushi. Particularly mad about liver.

Richard, partner of Mary Alice, worked in a variety of boring jobs until he and Mary Alice opened the bookstore. Loves just about all food except liver. Not partial to chicken but crazy about duck, rabbit and all forms of pork.

Margo, still works at the bookstore, originally from New York, loves just about all food. Not partial to red wine.

Barbara, mostly retired although still freelance writing, loves hiking, travelling and eating--not necessarily in that order. Loves just about all food and wine. Partial  to vegetables and fish.

Jim, still working as a sex therapist, loves all  food, particularly partial to red meat. Not a drinker.

Gary, partner of Jim, works in public health, loves all food, partial to meat. Not a drinker.

Well, there we are. Hope you'll enjoy our ramblings and tastings. See the next post for our most recent meal.
