New Girl in Town: On Favorite Food (Thus Far)

Six Penn Kitchen
Not much past college age is Keith Fuller, executive chef at Six Penn Kitchen in the Cultural District. This tattooed hunk o'man LOVES food and brings an irrepressible energy to his modern American bistro.
“We smoke our own meats here,” he says, toe tapping. “We've got a garden on the roof and we compost everything with help from Agricycle. And we work with Grow Pittsburgh, which teaches young kids how to become farmers. I've even got a garden growing on my deck on Polish Hill!”
That make-it-from-scratch sensibility shines in dishes like the house-smoked pork chop served alongside house-made kim chee fried rice. The Jamison Farm lamb bolognese is a menu staple and oozes love while the lobster mac and cheese works equally well for parents and kids.
“Pittsburgh palates have changed a lot,” says Fuller, which is why you may find a dollop of salmon caviar next time you order that mac and cheese.
