Front of DeLuca's, Pittsburgh
After taking in the strip for a couple/few hours, we were plenty ready for breakfast. Nick had heard about this place from Man vs. Food (not my favorite show but anyway....)and wanted to go here. In fact, our trip to Pittsburgh was actually based on food Nick wanted to try because he's a big ol foodie and watches tons, and TONS of Diners, Drive-In's and Dives, no matter how much we tell him that Guy Fieri annoys us. Nick should have a show like that...no really, he should.
We were lucky to walk in and be seated right away. The place was buzzing with business. That's my little family heading in the door without me while I stand in traffic, risking life and limb, to get this great photo of our dining experience ;)
Our waitress was super! I had the Greek Eggs Benedict which had steak instead of ham with feta and tomatoes! Oh my! I don't know really what anyone else ordered as I didn't care about anything except for my heavenly breakfast...although I do know Nick got some Pecan Pancakes (they say PEE-can haha) because he kept going on about how good they were.
There's been a bit of confusion about our trip. Some of you think we are still there and I am blogging from Pittsburgh. Nope, we're back and I'm blogging from my home in Botetourt! We went for the holiday weekend and returned Monday night! Quick little get-a-way but we crammed a lot in that weekend!
Linking with Signs, Signs because I am in love with that rooster!
Great looking restaurant sign. Love your story of fine food. Sounds like a fine trip.
ReplyDeleteLove that roof!
ReplyDeleteFantastic frontage! We watch Man v Food too, I'll be sure to look out for this place!
ReplyDeleteI love those big 'ol fiberglass restaurant figures. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a wonderful place to check out. That rooster is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteA very cool front! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, this place looks very unique, I like the chicken on the roof.
ReplyDeleteAt the "Breakast Bar" I pictured we have a "big breakfast" - three bacon, two sausage, two eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, two slices of toast, mug of tea - + extra slice of toast and glass of milk and then split it three ways!
ReplyDeleteUhmm De Luca ... From South of Italy ;-)
ReplyDeletemany Italians in Pittsburgh! one of our waiters was from Italy and still had his accent, loved it!
DeleteThe Rooster on the roof means nothing good in the German language.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Rooster on the roof means that the House is burning.
But that is not your issue.
best regards from Germany,

That must have been a pretty delicious breakfast indeed! I like their sign.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked the dining experience! i love the big rooster!
ReplyDeleteLove the rooster, too! Looks like you had a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you survived your hazardous viewpoint to enjoy that fabulous breakfast. The place sounds very good. Nice shot of the family's entrance.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the risk because you got a great shot! And you guys didn't even have to wait to be seated - the best:))
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Tanya! It is a super image and your breakfast sounds really, really good :).
ReplyDeleteI love that rooster! Sounds like you guys had a good meal there!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of roosters! Love the sign. Your breakfast sounds very delish!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be many variations on the pronunciation of pecan!! Anyway you say it, pecan pancakes sound good to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how a rooster on the roof came to mean a burning house in Germany?!!
That looks like my kinda place and I really like that rooster too! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I kind of like ol' Guy Fieri, especially when he's cooking with his kids!
I like the Diners show too - a friend went to Maine to find a lobster place they did on the show! Love that chicken on the roof!
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat sign -- I'm glad you shared it with us. I'm also glad you had such a delicious breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI need that rooster here on the Farmette! I am also a fan of the "Triple D". I make my family go to places I see on there. lol Glad you enjoyed the meal.
ReplyDeleteDiners always have the best food.
ReplyDeleteI would never have gone into a place like this on my own. Glad that you heard about it before you got there and that it met or exceeded expectations.
