History Center hosts Hometown-Homegrown
The Senator John Heinz History Center will celebrate the region’s passion for food at the second annual Hometown-Homegrown from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
Visitors can sample an assortment of foods from nearly 30 vendors representing Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods and swap recipes with the region’s culinary experts. Featured vendors include the Original Oyster House, the 142-year-old Market Square seafood landmark, and Uncle Charley’s Sausage, a nationally recognized business that has served the region since 1988.
Throughout the day, the History Center’s Weisbrod Kitchen Classroom will host special cooking demonstrations with WQED’s Rick Sebak and Chris Fennimore, along with presentations from local culinary experts representing Marty’s Market and Braddock’s American Brasserie.
There will be activities throughout five floors of the History Center, including a special presentation on the history of Pittsburgh spirits by Wigle Whiskey and live entertainment.
All Hometown-Homegrown activities and food samples are free for History Center members and included with regular admission for nonmembers.
