Location: Pittsburgh Poke, 500 Liberty Ave., Downtown

Ambiance: Imagine a Subway restaurant with a dive-bar interior, a less corporate lunch crowd (not a business suit in sight) and better food.

What we ate: Sushi burrito

Cost: $11.76

Hot Take: I imagine this thing might look like a regular sushi roll to, say, John Fetterman, but it took two hands for me to eat. I got double spicy tuna, spicy mayo and added wasabi because that’s the way I roll. The fish was fresh — and besides having to open my mouth a lot wider to consume it, this burrito was really just a standard, good spicy tuna roll. Still worth every bite.
