Sambazon Acai Bowls is one of the newer dining additions inside Pittsburgh International Airport, opening in spring 2025 as part of the airport’s push toward fresher, healthier food options for travelers. The concept focuses on açaí bowls, smoothies, and lighter grab-and-go items rather than traditional airport fast food. The counter is designed around colorful fruit toppings like strawberries, blueberries, bananas, mango, pineapple, granola, coconut, nuts, and seeds. Signature bowls include the Berry Açaí Bowl, Protein Açaí Bowl, Chocolate PB Açaí Bowl, and Coconut Mango Açaí Bowl. Sambazon itself is a Brazil-focused company known for organic and Fair Trade certified açaí. I ordered the Tropical Mango Smoothie, which has mango, pineapple, banana and apple juice. Refreshing & a nice change of pace for an airport.

Which ones should I try next?

I don't typically peruse smoke shops - but when there are fun snacks and food? Count me in! King's is primarily known for vape & other smoke products, but this shop has a whole section on international snacks and an adjoining kitchen. Let's start with the snacks. Rap snacks. Milka Oreo. A variety of Lays flavors from Asia. Anything I had never tried before, I picked it up. On the restaurant side, I got a small order of boneless wings, which were just chopped chicken tenders. They were just OK. A bit dry inside and also not enough sauce outside to compensate for it. The sauce I had was just sweet without much depth. Next time, I'll try the bone-in wings. Grade: B

DiCarlo's Original Pizza has expanded into Knoxville, Tennessee. Of course, I followed shortly thereafter. The iconic Ohio Valley pizza is near and dear to my heart. It's baked with sauce, then fresh provolone is melted on top afterward. It's nostalgic -- but above all else, delicious. It's a crispy, square-cut crust that is topped with sweet tomato sauce and then finished with a mound of cold shredded provolone cheese and mushrooms after the pizza comes out of the oven. The contrast between the hot crust and sauce with the cool, slightly melty cheese is everything. Knoxville is doing this Ohio Valley pizza justice. Grade: A

One of the biggest attractions in Pigeon Forge is Pirates Voyage, Dolly Parton’s pirate-themed dinner show that combines live stunts, comedy, music and a full meal into a huge indoor theatrical production. The show takes place in a massive lagoon arena where two pirate crews — Crimson and Sapphire — battle on full-sized ships with sword fights, diving stunts, pyrotechnics and aerial acrobatics happening all around the audience. We started with the Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup and Buccaneer Biscuit. Super thick & creamy. Dinner was: Cracklin’ Pan-Fried Chicken, Swashbucklin’ Sugar-Cured Ham, Cob-O’ Buttery Corn and Pirate Herb-Basted Potato. Rum Runner - light rum, dark rum, banana liqueur, banana liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice and grenadine. The classic dessert is essentially a warm apple turnover called the “Apple O’ Me Eye Pie." It’s a flaky handheld pastry filled with spiced apples (or peach in some versions) and served warm. The meal was fine, but certainly played second fiddle to the over-the-top pirate adventure, with actors interacting with the crowd, cannons firing and performers swinging high above the water. Grade: B
