Pitt Beef

Just because Eric Radz doesn’t root for the hometown football team — so what if he admits he cheers for its arch-rival? — doesn’t mean he can’t serve up a mean tailgate.

Every season, Radz, a construction attorney with Ober|Kaler (and yes, a Pittsburgh Steelers fan), will fire up a menu for family and friends at tailgating parties in his Reisterstown home. In a salute to his new hometown, the Pittsburgh native makes a delicious pit beef sandwich that he calls “Baltimore’s contribution to barbecue.”

Not to leave the youngsters out of the football tradition, Radz will lead “Tailgating Treats For Tots” at Charm City Kids Club on Nov. 5. This healthy cooking course for children is geared toward all caregivers and will include mini-turkey dogs in blankets, oven-baked chicken tenders and fruit kabobs for dessert.
