Bricks and Boxes

While traversing from Highland Park to Oakland on a snowy Pittsburgh evening, a strange beacon of diner nostalgia was made visible in the East End.

At first glance, you are tempted to pull out your iPhone and Urban Spoon this joint to see what’s up.

You didn’t hear about this new diner from people rambling at the bar, you didn’t see it given a craptastic review in the City Paper, you didn’t see PittGirl write about it, so what the hell is it?

Yes, they really do serve waffles.

The same great university that brought you a man in a lobster suit building a home out of wood now brings you an “emporium” of sorts to harvest a grass roots reality podcast.

I think the Yinz Team needs to show up for a postgame feeding.

And how!

And now, a You Tube video.
