ecently, Bon Appetit named Pittsburgh the best
new food city of 2014. For the past few years,
Pittsburgh has become a hotbed of trendy new
restaurants with some of the best chefs in the country.
Last year, Bar Marco made Bon Appetit’s Top 50 New
Restaurants and in April, The Huffington Post claimed
Prantl’s burnt almond torte as the best cake America
has to offer. New restaurants are popping up in neighborhoods north, east, south and west of the city, and
we want you to get to know the chefs behind some of
the best food our region has to offer.

And just in time for al fresco season, IN Community
is pleased to bring you a new department called,
“IN Good Taste.” Each quarter, we’ll feature a candid
conversation with one of the local dining scene’s most engaging chefs. In addition, you can
go to icmags.com for your area chef ’s favorite recipe.
Summer is also one of the best times to buy a home. Whether you’re looking for a green,
eco-friendly dwelling, a hassle-free, comfort-rich patio style home, a spacious condo along
the river with walking trails or a spectacular single-family abode, you can find what you’re
looking for in some of the new housing developments in our north, east, south and west
communities. Be sure to check out this issue’s Special Real Estate Section.
