It's been a couple years since I last ate at Conflict Kitchen, but given that I always end up recommending it to people when we talk about Pittsburgh, I figured I should leave it a review. Even after eating my way through San Francisco and New York, Conflict Kitchen is still one of the most unique places I've eaten at. I love the way that it brings forth the strong connection between food and culture, and that chefs don't misappropriate the cuisine of foreign countries through their own interpretation but rather take the time to travel and learn from the home countries. Their menu is usually pretty limited, but that ensures the quality of each item. In the past
I've enjoyed the tajada and empanadas during the time the covered Venezuela. They also give you a sheet of interviews from people from the country of conflict and immigrants in America that you can read while you eat in Schenley Plaza.

Conflict Kitchen is about more than great food (which really is delicious); it embraces the deep relationship between food and culture and exposes people to food that they might never get a chance to eat. Because of this, Conflict Kitchen remains one of my favorite eateries in America.
