Our first trip to Superior Motors and it wasn’t even open yet 😉
We participated in the Kickstarter to back a new restaurant in the town of Braddock, PA. They were looking to raise $250,000 via Kickstarter and ended up raising $310.225 + $40.000 from the Heinz Endowments.
From the Kickstarter page: “A direct appeal to fund an inventive and inclusionary restaurant within a very deserving and special community.”
While Braddock has fallen on tough times there are a few people who are working hard to lift it back up.
Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon – the restaurant was still in the initial phases of development. There were drawings, ideas and some very basic work done to the site. We gathered as a part of the Kickstarter thank-you gift for lunch with Kevin Sousa and the Mayor, John Fetterman. Hamburgers from a local farm (Scottish Highland cattle), hot dogs (who knows where any hot dog comes from, right?), veggies and beer from the Brew Gentlemen. Music from the Beagle Brothers rounded out a nice afternoon.
