Mark it down on your calendars!  On Sunday, October 22 at 9PM ET, Anthony Bourdain’s show Parts Unknown will be featuring Pittsburgh.  Here’s the blurb:

Pittsburgh (airdate: October 22) Bourdain delves into a dining scene at a crossroads: part iconic steel city defined by blue-collar, working-class comfort food – steak and potatoes, sausage and sauerkraut – and part foodie boom-town catering to the new high-tech industry. Bourdain criss-crosses the fault lines of old and new by sitting down with, among others, professional wrestlers, a civil rights activist, and writer and Pittsburgh native Stewart O’Nan.  Pioneer chefs of the city’s burgeoning restaurant scene Sonja Finn and Justin Severino host a back-country pig roast.  And chef Kevin Suousa serves grass fed beef short ribs at his new restaurant, Superior Motors.
