Founded by Charles Turner in Penn Hills (just outside of Pittsburgh). Known for unique milk flavors like cookies and cream, peanut butter, birthday cake and more. So good!

Turner's Dairy Ok so…read moreyou already grabbed Permanti brothers and Vincent's Pizza What's left? Turner's Dairy products. Pretty much anything made by Turner's dairy. I thought that maybe I was biased or maybe my taste buds where programed from elementary school to enjoy Turner's milk. From the lunch line, to school field trips, if you grew up in Pittsburgh, then you consumed your share of Turner's. I had a few goals on my trip but the most interesting was my desire to be a Turner's connoisseur. You would think that I was sampling fine wine here. I needed to settle this mental debate: Is Turner's really as good as my taste buds recounted, or was i just a kid who was loving chocolate milk at the time. Note that from this point forward I will refer to this point forward I will be spelling it chocolate, but in my mind I will be reading it as the Brad Pitt flick 'Shock-o-lotte." This odd obsession was held tight in my mind as a clandestine mission. A quick product local search revealed brown gold at a convince store within a half mile of my hotel. It was however, the hotel snack shop where i found my first turner's product. A bottle of regular single serve iced tea with its half scripted "T" and its pin stripe advertising beckoning me. Ah the pinstripes. Like the New York Yankees of diary and iced tea products. I had been hoping for cartons but this would have to do. I purchased a few bottles and took them to my room. I offered some to my girlfriend, a 'Pure Leaf' lover who initially did not like the first swig. After no other beverages as an option, she finished the bottle and became instantly addicted consuming a large about of Turner's for the remainder of the trip. The local proprietor turned out to be a gold mine of products. The iced tea was available in Peach, raspberry, lemon, southern style available in your choice of cartons, bottles and small pint sized portions each one proving just as delicious as the prior. From here I moved in the chocolate milk line. I was unable to get my hands on the pin stripped boxes. I located whole milk chocolate milk in a bottle which I shared with my two sons. After a 20 year hiatus, my taste buds once again marveled at the taste. I began to wonder if i had enjoyed the milk more because it was whole milk as opposed to 2%, but I was able to confirm my convictions when i found a bottle of 2% chocolate milk. Let's swing back to the iced teas for a minute. The bottles were only 99 cents and the cartons 50 cents apiece which i found surprising. So drink up. I didn't pay much attention to the price of the chocolate milk, but it's liquid crack... kinda, so get your fix. You may also find it odd and interesting (I prefer the term eccentric when referring to my odd ball behaviors) that I previously emailed Turner's though their Facebook page to ask for unfilled cartons so that I could display them in my Pittsburgh Sports room back home. Perhaps they thought I was a bit off, i was able to secure two cartons, which i poked holes in the bottom letting the liquid drain out. The cartons are now part of my Pittsburgh sports room. This is not so far-fetched when you consider that Andy Worhol (Pittsbrugh Native) made a series of pop art Brillo box displays.

Funny that the ripe tomatoes I crave were presented as "seconds" because they were so ripe. Perfect for me! Nothing better than cutting out the core of a truly ripe tomato (warm and not refrigerated -- they lose their flavor when cold), sprinkling some salt into the cavity, holding it over the kitchen sink and sinking your teeth into it, the juice and seeds running down your chin. Ahhh... Then, to my joyous surprise, I've discovered not just one but two fabulous vendors that I look forward to visiting. The Cookie Goddess (one Martie Allen) sells home made baked goods and I can't say enough praises for her flourless brownie. Seriously moist, rich, and chocolately! Give me more! At $1.50 each, you can't go wrong (except getting there after they're all sold out). Then, there is La Mendocina, represented at the market by its owner, Monica Aveni-Ranii. She provides Argentine fare and I can't get there early enough to try all her delights as some of them sell out early. I have tried her beef empanadas (2 for $5) and the dulce de leche she sells at $7 a jar and I'm definitely a fan! Let's see. I've also purchased organic catnip before. I don't know that my cats can tell that it's organic but they're happy so I'm happy. Dinner tonight consisted of my beef empanadas from La Mendocina, fresh corn and tomatoes from one of the local vendors, and a flourless brownie from the Cookie Goddess. Yes, this is one nice market, indeed! Open from 2 - 6pm on Thursdays mid June to early/mid October.

The meats are smoked daily with a blend of hickory, cherry, and apple woods. Dining in, carry-out, delivery, and catering are available. So far, my husband and I have eaten three lunches from Big Rigs BBQ--two for dining in and one as a $250 takeout for family. We have tried most of the menu items and really enjoyed all of them. I have not yet tried every BBQ restaurant in the Pittsburgh region, but so far, Big Rig's BBQ is our favorite. For meats, we ate the brisket (5 stars, very tender and flavorful), baby-back ribs (5 stars, fall-off-the-bone and tasty), pulled-pork shoulder (4.5 stars, nicely smoked and goes well with the many sauces), original kielbasa (4.5 stars), cheddar-jalapeno kielbasa (4.5 stars), pineapple kielbasa (5 stars, an explosion of unique, delicious flavors), pork-belly burnt ends (4.5 stars, tender with a very flavorful sauce), turkey (4.5 stars, juicy and flavorful), and smoked turkey-club sandwich (5 stars, my husband loves its cheddar, bacon, lettuce, and dijonaise). For sides, we ate the mac and cheese (4 stars, American, cheddar, and pepper jack), potato salad (4.5 stars, with bacon, scallions, cheddar cheese, bell peppers, and mustard), cornbread (5 stars, with cheddar cheese and BBQ honey butter), BBQ baked beans (5 stars, very flavorful ingredients), and brussels sprouts (5 stars, tasty sauce). This BBQ restaurant also serves some salads. I ate a BBQ salad (5 stars) with my choice of protein, Nashville Chicken Breast. This salad might be the most loaded-up that I have ever eaten.
