There is a guy that works at the Sheetz on University in Moon, and he makes my day every time I see him.

It gets stupid in there, the place is laid out poorly for such a high traffic store. For example, if you just want to self-serve a cup of coffee, there's always a line of people milling around waiting to pick up MTO's in your way.

He's a one man zamboni. Not only does he move people out of the way politely, but he is meticulous about picking up any junk on the floor and refilling coffee stirrers and lids.

He's usually smiling. To answer your question.

Mary's Vine in Rankin, it's an old church made into a restaurant. Great food, lots of wines, a "secret" speakeasy in the basement that's a cigar bar and game room with couches etc. Great place

The most interesting food I've experienced recently was this place:

They bill it as "African", but that could mean a lot of things. For example, I've long known that I love Ethiopian food, but this wasn't that. The dishes we had were primarily Nigerian, and were really good.

Disclosure: we got delivery (via GrubHub), we did not dine in.

One of the most mind blowing items I ever ate in my life I ate in Honduras. I always doubt my memory of it at this point because it was 20+ years ago, but it was basically just salsa served on a cucumber boat. I asked about what was in it but they would only just tell me peppers. What kind of peppers? What are they called? Just peppers. Argh!

Obv as a paleteria they have a shit ton of desserts and they do that well.

I would say they do the best Elotes in Beechview and the best tripa taco. Their specials can be incredible. If the mom/cook is making Chiles Rellenos get your ass up there lol.
