Return of the Breakfast
Franktuary is reintroducing a breakfast menu in 2009. Can you believe it?? More details coming soon.
The Winds of Change Have Blown Me Out of Pittsburgh
But don’t worry, Franktuary is still located in the heart of downtown on Oliver Avenue. We’ve got some exciting plans on the horizon, and part of that bigger picture necessitates creating space for someone who can do my old job better than me. What I mean by that is Franktuary now has on its staff not one but two individuals with culinary degrees! With this change, and for a handful of personal reasons, I find myself looking for employment back home in the New York area.

And in the week preceding the S(o)uperBowl, no less. I smell a conspiracy, or maybe that’s just the distinctive odor of lobster bisque wafting down Smithfield Street. It’s hard to tell.
