Burgh Bites ’ AUTUMN MENU & HOLIDAY CATERING
Will Brighten Any Table
If you thought you ’ ve had it all when it comes to modern American dining , think again and head over to Brick n ’ Mortar , where the menu is more colorful than autumn leaves .
“ The Autumn menu is a slate of original recipes that my chefs and I came up with especially for the season ,” said owner Ricci Minella , who ’ s been a longtime fixture on the Pittsburgh culinary scene . With a strong emphasis on traditional Italian recipes culled from his family ’ s heritage , Minella ’ s booming Burgh Bites food truck business facilitated the opening of Brick n ’ Mortar earlier this year to rave reviews .
Nowhere else will you find seasonal specials like the Harvest Corn Chowder , which is a medley of charred corn , roasted pumpkin , cream , prosciutto and crispy sage served up with homemade torts . In fact , sage is a common spice thread throughout the menu that uses the ancient herb in new and unique ways .
“ The Fall Sage and Sausage Burger is something that we put together for a chef ’ s best dish event two years ago ,” Minella said . “ We presented it on a skewer and won the event , so we decided to reinvent it as a burger for the fall menu and people are loving it .”
The ½-pound sausage patty is served with brick cheese , bacon braised cabbage , caramelized apples , a honey balsamic glaze and sage aioli on a pretzel bun .
If you have a sweet tooth , Brick n ’ Mortar teamed up with Mercurio ’ s of Shadyside to put together an Apple Pie Gelato that is served with homemade biscotti that will make you feel like you ’ re in Naples , Italy instead of Pittsburgh .
In addition to these one-of-a-kind dishes , Brick n ’ Mortar has weekly specials that will surprise you . The restaurant seats 22 inside and the patio has room for 8 people and is open as weather permits . There ’ s also an upstairs party room for reservations . The decor of Brick n ’ Mortar is as unique as the menu with vintage wine bottle chandeliers and live edge tables carved from locally-sourced wood in Imperial . Beer and wine is served gratis , and can bring your own bottle if you wish .
The Autumn menu will be available through Thanksgiving , but if
you can ’ t make it in to Brick n ’ Mortar , their catering is available for any gathering or event . The holiday catering menu will be available in the upcoming weeks and one week ’ s notice is recommended for planning your holiday event .
Brick n ’ Mortar has offerings for those who are gluten-free and vegetarian .
