Braddock’s American Brasserie
Childhood memories have prompted Chef Brian Volmrich, of Braddock’s American Brasserie in the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh, to form a bond with local farmers and be linked to the freshest and most local fare available. “I can’t wait to start relationships with our outlying farmers,” Volmrich says. “I have such fond childhood memories of the duck pond and apple cider at Trax Farms. My anticipation grows for the bounty that awaits the restaurant this year.” 107 Sixth St., Downtown. 412.992.2005. braddocksrestaurant.com. Photograph by Cayla Zahoran.
