(01:02) Dive into the delicious world of '77 Club, Pittsburgh's rising wood-fired sensation transforming the city's food scene with Italian street food and community spirit. Founders Brittani and Dustin Boutilier share the journey that brought them from California to Pittsburgh by way of Brazil, driven by their passion for authentic cuisine and bringing people together through food.

The star of their mobile kitchen? The panuozzo – a pizza sandwich originating from Campagna, Italy that delivers all the flavor of pizza in a portable, quick-service format perfect for brewery pop-ups. Each sandwich pays homage to songs they love, from the "I Am Blue" with its surprisingly addictive mustard cream to the "Blockhead" featuring crispy potatoes and caramelized onions.

(09:40) What makes '77 Club particularly special is the vibe they've created. Named after 1977 – the iconic year that birthed punk rock – their business embodies that DIY ethos while inviting everyone to feel part of something special. Their regular residencies at local breweries like Four Points, Leaning Cask, and Eleventh Hour have built a devoted following, with catering services expanding their reach.

Their partnership with Bunker Projects highlights their commitment to supporting Pittsburgh's arts community, including an upcoming block party in June 2025. Whether you're a foodie seeking authentic Italian street food or simply looking for your next favorite local business to support, '77 Club delivers quality, creativity, and community on every plate. Find them on Instagram at @77club_pgh to discover where they'll pop up next!

(26:49) Later in the show, we take a trip 'dahntawn' with Autumn Pawelec to experience the chic looks and equally stunning bites of Ritual House. And if your staying in, we have a home-cooked chicken recipe from Meghan Pohl of Batch that will please the whole family. Hope you're hungry!
