Ritual House pastry chef Zoe Peckich has put Pittsburgh on a national stage as the first winner of the Food Network Summer Baking Championship. After eight weeks full of suspenseful culinary twists and turns, she was crowned winner for not only her innovative flavor combinations but also for her artistic dessert design.

This week, the DNA staff treated ourselves to a lavish lunch at Ritual House, which was undoubtedly the best meal we ate this week. We started our meal off with their she-crab bisque, one of their newest menu items, and were amazed at the creaminess of the soup. It was so good that we even forgot to take a photo of it.

With weather warming up, DNA has curated a list of five spectacular summer time front-runners for cooling down with refreshing cocktails offered in the Golden Triangle.

Weekends in Pittsburgh call for brunch, but where can you go to get the best food, drinks, and atmosphere for your springtime soiree? Here are six of the DNA’s top picks to have a tasty brunch in the Golden Triangle.
