clubhaus:

This week, our friends in Pittsburgh have officially re-opened their conceptual takeout restaurant.

We posted about Conflict Kitchen a couple months back, when Tim, Brandon and Steve finished a new website for the eatery, and again when I featured the restaurant’s former East Liberty takeout window in Block Club magazine.

Conflict Kitchen was founded in 2010 by Carnegie Melon professors and alumni and offers a rotating menu of food from countries with witch the United States is in conflict. They began serving Iraqi cuisine. Iranian food followed, then Venezuelan. Cuban cuisine came after that.

The re-opening once again highlights Iranian culture, serving an extended menu of Persian food.

If you’re in Pittsburgh, make sure you stop by Conflict Kitchen’s new location in Schenley Plaza, at the corner of Schenley Drive and Roberto Clemente Drive.

Are you as much of a prolific recipe maker as I? If yes, then I know you have trouble cataloguing all those wonderful recipes. If you’re looking for an easy to use, super efficient and compact way to store those cooking secrets, look no further. I introduce the 1969 Honeywell 316, sold by Neiman Marcus as a recipe computer. Initially released with a capacity of 4096 through 16,385 words of memory, you can now expand memory space to 32,768 words! 

Doesn’t the future look bright?
