Pittsburgh is a city
of neighborhoods,

13
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,300
each with its own
rites and rituals,

14
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:46,800
a patchwork of cultures that
took shape over a century ago.

15
00:01:46,833 --> 00:01:49,900
Back then, the city was a
beacon of hope and possibility

16
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:51,700
for people from
all over the world,

17
00:01:51,733 --> 00:01:57,533
offering the promise of work,
prosperity, a new life.

18
00:01:57,567 --> 00:01:59,833
Pittsburgh could have been
another company town

19
00:01:59,867 --> 00:02:03,467
gone to beautiful ruin,

20
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,233
but something happened.

21
00:02:06,267 --> 00:02:08,133
The city started
to pop up on lists

22
00:02:08,167 --> 00:02:11,400
of the most livable
places in America.

23
00:02:11,433 --> 00:02:14,300
It became attractive to a new
wave of people from elsewhere

24

looking to reinvent themselves
and make a new world.

25
00:02:18,667 --> 00:02:21,333
And so we find ourselves
asking the same questions

26
00:02:21,367 --> 00:02:23,567
we ask in other cities
in transition.

27

55
00:03:52,067 --> 00:03:54,333
Did they come here
for steel jobs? Coal?

56
00:03:54,367 --> 00:03:57,233
Actually, trade. I think they
came here more for the trade.

Yeah.

Yeah, plumbers, bricklayers,
any kind of trade like that.

59

Some Italians said that they
were told to come over here

and they were gonna find
the roads paved with gold.

They said, "They didn't tell us
we had to build them first."

Yeah.

possibly cyborg super nerds
who will no doubt

163
00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:15,133
revenge themselves on all of us

164
00:09:15,167 --> 00:09:16,867
for their painful
high school experiences

165
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,300
by crushing us between
their synthetic mandibles.

166
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:22,867
They're also good for business.

167
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,900
- Here you go, guys.
- Thank you.

168
00:09:24,933 --> 00:09:26,167
Thank you.

169
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,867
The Googlers that are coming in

170
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,967
are coming in at
the very top of the food chain,

171
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,400
and they're walking
into brand-new housing.

172
00:09:32,433 --> 00:09:34,967
They're making six figures.
They're 23 years old.

173
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,033
- Right.
- And, you know, I think

174
00:09:37,067 --> 00:09:38,860
the old-school, the people
that have been here forever,

175
00:09:38,867 --> 00:09:40,567
are not happy about that.

176
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,067
I mean, you know,
it's gonna be all pencil necks,

177
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,567
like in 20 years.

178
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,367
Bad breeding stock.

179
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,667
It's the problem of
inclusion and exclusion, right?

180
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,200
It's the American
problem, right?

181
00:09:52,233 --> 00:09:54,033
It's what Fitzgerald writes
about in "Gatsby."

182
00:09:54,067 --> 00:09:55,900
Who is included, who's excluded?

183
00:09:55,933 --> 00:09:57,900
Who's allowed in, who isn't?
Right.

184
00:09:57,933 --> 00:10:00,233
And that's the worry,
that we're gonna forget

185
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:01,733
the people that have
lived through it,

186
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:03,033
and that have stayed here,

187
00:10:03,067 --> 00:10:04,833
and had no choice
but to stay here.

188
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Pittsburgh's Deutschtown is home

189
00:10:20,233 --> 00:10:22,833
to one of the oldest German
clubs in the U.S.

190
00:10:22,867 --> 00:10:25,333
Immigrants founded it in 1854

191
00:10:25,367 --> 00:10:27,800
to preserve a link
to their motherland.

192
00:10:27,833 --> 00:10:29,333
Today, a new generation

193
00:10:29,367 --> 00:10:30,967
is leaving
their mark on the city.

194

195

198
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,467
Justin Severino
opened his restaurant, Cure,

199
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,467
as an ode to flesh,
smoke and animal fat,

200
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:48,167
Maggie Merskey designs and
creates bar programs

201
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,733
at bars and restaurants
across the city,

202
00:10:50,767 --> 00:10:53,633
and Sonja Finn was here
from the beginning,

203
00:10:53,667 --> 00:10:55,667
planting the flag
for farm-to-table cooking

204
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:59,167

with her restaurant, Dinette.

209
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,900
The countryside around
Pittsburgh is beautiful.

210
00:11:27,933 --> 00:11:29,633
Another world.

211
00:11:29,667 --> 00:11:32,067
I joined a group
of foodie all-stars

212
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,833
about 20 miles outside
of town for a meal.

213
00:11:39,233 --> 00:11:42,700
Are there typical, iconic
Pittsburgher qualities?

214
00:11:42,733 --> 00:11:45,133
You probably worked here
and brag about working here.

215
00:11:45,167 --> 00:11:47,167
You complain about Millennials.

216
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,533
You complain about the people
on the street harassing you.

217
00:11:49,567 --> 00:11:52,167
You don't like
anything new at all.

218
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,900
- Right.
- You're describing me.

219
00:11:54,933 --> 00:11:57,000
The menu is flipping good.

220
00:11:57,033 --> 00:11:59,133
Right in my happy zone.

221
00:11:59,167 --> 00:12:01,000
Racks of pork rib,

222
00:12:01,033 --> 00:12:03,300
grilled hearts
of escarole and turnips,

223
00:12:03,333 --> 00:12:05,200
a sauce made from
the pork drippings,

224
00:12:05,233 --> 00:12:07,500
and four types of sausage.

225
00:12:07,533 --> 00:12:09,467
- What now?
- Look at this. Whoa.

226
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:12,133
- The food's amazing.
- That's titanic.

227
00:12:12,167 --> 00:12:14,400
I don't want to speak about
Pittsburgh in a dismissive way,

228
00:12:14,433 --> 00:12:19,500
but it was not known
before being what it is today.

229
00:12:19,533 --> 00:12:22,667
People are talking a lot
about the food scene here.

230
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,467
'Twas not always so.
What were people eating before?

231
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,133
You know, steak and potatoes.

232
00:12:28,167 --> 00:12:30,167
You know,
living in San Francisco

233
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,833
as a young person in your 20s,
you were going out to eat.

234
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:35,467
That was really important,

235
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:37,333
and we all knew
about the restaurants,

236
00:12:37,367 --> 00:12:39,160
whether you were in the
restaurant business or not.

237
00:12:39,167 --> 00:12:41,567
- Right.
- And that wasn't Pittsburgh.

238
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,067
When I opened Dinette
in 2008, you know,

239
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,333
I'm expecting people
like me to be coming in.

240
00:12:46,367 --> 00:12:49,233
I'm 29. That's who I'm
building this restaurant for,

241
00:12:49,267 --> 00:12:51,967
and everyone was...
56.

242
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yeah, my parents' age or older.

243
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:05,133
You know, I thought to myself,

244
00:13:05,167 --> 00:13:06,333
I'm going to this neighborhood

245
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:08,233
that's basically desolate.

246
00:13:08,267 --> 00:13:10,300
I'm gonna take this
building that's been...

247
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:12,467
It's a restaurant that's been
closed for seven years,

248
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,067
and, you know, I'm gonna
do something nice here.

249
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:16,660
You know, I didn't
expect the reaction I got

250
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:18,367
from the actual people
that lived around me.

251
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Right.

252
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:21,467
You know,
which was not positive.

253
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,300
They liked it the way
it was, you know?

254
00:13:23,333 --> 00:13:24,693
That was their life,
and then, you know,

255
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:26,367
I move in and all of a sudden,

256
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,833
I open this restaurant and
people with nice, fancy cars

257
00:13:28,867 --> 00:13:30,833
are taking their parking spaces,

258
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:32,333
and now I'm a yuppie gentrifier.

259
00:13:32,367 --> 00:13:33,700
- Well.
- You know what I mean?

260
00:13:33,733 --> 00:13:35,133
You know, own it.

261
00:13:35,167 --> 00:13:37,133
Sometimes it
kind of hurts, right,

262
00:13:37,167 --> 00:13:39,500
as a restaurant owner
or small business owner

263
00:13:39,533 --> 00:13:41,900
because there are always haters
out there, and you feel like,

264
00:13:41,933 --> 00:13:44,500
okay, so somebody wants me
to be a small business owner,

265
00:13:44,533 --> 00:13:47,400
and take care of my employees,
and then also on me,

266
00:13:47,433 --> 00:13:49,467
they're gonna talk
about gentrification, right?

267
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:51,867
Like, you're just trying
to do your thing.

268
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:54,300
You're just trying
to do something good.

269
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:55,667
Right.

270
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,660
And you're trying to do it
for you, and you should.

271
00:13:57,667 --> 00:14:00,200
Yeah, but I don't know.
I mean, for me it's different.

272
00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:02,167
Like, I definitely was thinking

273
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,067
about the neighborhood
when I did it.

274
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,567
Like, I'm not some egomaniac
who thinks that, like,

275
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,400
just putting out
my food is a reason, like,

276
00:14:10,433 --> 00:14:13,167
so everyone can enjoy
the, like, artistry of my food.

277
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,833
That's why I'm opening
a restaurant.

278
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:16,567
That's not the point.
Well, I mean,

279
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,633
not to disagree with anything
that you just said,

280
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:22,333
but, like, I didn't open
Cure in Lawrenceville

281
00:14:22,367 --> 00:14:24,800
because I wanted to change
the neighborhood.

282
00:14:24,833 --> 00:14:28,467
I honestly opened Cure
for me 100%.

283
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:29,967
I was, like,
struggling professionally,

284
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,533
struggling personally.

285
00:14:31,567 --> 00:14:35,133
Cure was all about
satisfying me, like, 100%.

286
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:39,500
If I'm running a high-end
restaurant in Pittsburgh.

287
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:42,900
Who am I employing
as porters, dishwashers?

288
00:14:42,933 --> 00:14:44,500
- Honestly, like, our...
- Students.

289
00:14:44,533 --> 00:14:46,800
Our dishwashers are...
They're white kids.

290
00:14:46,833 --> 00:14:48,133
- No way.
- Yeah.

291
00:14:48,167 --> 00:14:49,567
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,467
is a big, bright
shining star of an example

293
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:55,500
of what blue collar America,
I think, was 100 years ago,

294
00:14:55,533 --> 00:14:58,300
When we're looking at,
like, who's applying,

295
00:14:58,333 --> 00:15:00,467
we also need to look
at neighborhoods.

296
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,567
The topography
of Pittsburgh is such that,

297
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,667
like, neighborhoods
are separated by...

298
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:07,700
- Bridges.
- By bridges and ravines,

299
00:15:07,733 --> 00:15:10,000
and this sort of thing
means that, like,

300
00:15:10,033 --> 00:15:12,267
people stay
within their neighborhood.

301
00:15:13,733 --> 00:15:15,700
- Go.
- One.

302
00:15:15,733 --> 00:15:17,800
- Go.
- Two.

303
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:19,800
- Go.
- Three.

304
00:15:25,667 --> 00:15:27,433
Up, two, good.

305
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,133
Everybody's talking now

306
00:15:32,167 --> 00:15:34,033
about a Pittsburgh renaissance.

307
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,900
You've got artists coming.

308
00:15:35,933 --> 00:15:38,233
There are new restaurants.

309
00:15:38,267 --> 00:15:40,567
Somebody's making money.
Yes.

310
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,867
Money's definitely coming in.

311
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,300
Is it lifting all boats?

312
00:15:43,333 --> 00:15:45,567
No. It is not.

313
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,467
♪

314
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:51,367
The new Pittsburgh
attracts new people,

315
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,000
but it doesn't change the life

316
00:15:56,033 --> 00:15:58,133
for those workers

317
00:15:58,167 --> 00:16:01,967
who were left behind
and kind of spit out.

318
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,533
This is the Hill District,

319
00:16:03,567 --> 00:16:06,133
traditionally African American.

320
00:16:06,167 --> 00:16:09,367
The numbers here do not
indicate a renaissance.

321
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,800
Black homes
take in half the income

322
00:16:11,833 --> 00:16:14,900
of their white neighbors,
and African American youth

323
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:17,233
are six times as likely
to be arrested,

324
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:19,033
go through the system,

325
00:16:19,067 --> 00:16:22,400
from which many
can never break free.

326
00:16:22,433 --> 00:16:25,800
When activist Sala Udin
was growing up here,

327
00:16:25,833 --> 00:16:27,967
the neighborhood was thriving,

328
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,200
the Golden Age Harlem
of Pittsburgh.

329
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:39,733
They used to call this
city hell with the lid off.

330
00:16:39,767 --> 00:16:44,467
The mills ran 24 hours a day.

331
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:47,467
I grew up at a time when

332
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,733
most adult men
in the neighborhood,

333
00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:52,467
in the morning,

334
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,567
I saw them getting up
and going to work.

335
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,500
My dad, for example,
dropped out of school,

336
00:16:59,533 --> 00:17:02,833
but was still able to find work

337
00:17:02,867 --> 00:17:06,833
that paid enough
to raise a family.

338
00:17:06,867 --> 00:17:08,467
My mother had 12 children.

339
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:12,233
And your dad was able
to raise 12 kids on that.

340
00:17:12,267 --> 00:17:13,700
- That's right.
- Wow.

341
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,067
That was a very
different America.

342
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:17,100
That was
a very different America.

343
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:26,033
- How you doing, Sala?
- Good, good.

344
00:17:28,567 --> 00:17:31,967
This is where I live.
This is where I grew up.

345
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,867
All of this area,
this whole flat

346
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:35,967
parking lot area that you see,

347
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,467
this is where we lived.

348
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:40,833
Devastation.

349
00:17:40,867 --> 00:17:44,233
They just completely devastated

350
00:17:44,267 --> 00:17:46,500
our whole neighborhood.

351
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,533
In the 1950s, the city came up

352
00:17:52,567 --> 00:17:54,967
with a plan to revitalize
the Hill District

353
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,533
by leveling large swaths of it.

354
00:17:57,567 --> 00:18:01,967
8,000 residents, including
Sala, were displaced,

355
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,033
and instead of new housing,

356
00:18:04,067 --> 00:18:08,133
the land was used
to build a hockey arena.

357
00:18:08,167 --> 00:18:10,200
Difficult, painful memories

358
00:18:10,233 --> 00:18:13,700
of what used to be, and now,

359
00:18:13,733 --> 00:18:17,467
we see suburbanites coming in

360
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:19,167
to have a good time,

361
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,800
visit the Penguins.

362
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,967
They don't live here.

363
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,633
They just play here,

364
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:29,900
and they don't know the pain

365
00:18:29,933 --> 00:18:34,000
that this playground...

366
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,333
caused.

367
00:18:47,867 --> 00:18:51,233
What's the missing
component here?

368
00:18:51,267 --> 00:18:56,833
What's missing
is an economic plan

369
00:18:56,867 --> 00:18:59,367
that includes everybody,

370
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,500
not just the techies
and the computer geeks,

371
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:05,833
but regular people.

372
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,000
By day,

373
00:19:36,033 --> 00:19:38,167
a mild-mannered
dentist in training,

374
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,867
but at night she becomes,
well, a superhero.

375
00:19:45,033 --> 00:19:46,733
Brittany Baker is a star

376
00:19:46,767 --> 00:19:48,800
of the International
Wrestling Cartel.

377
00:19:48,833 --> 00:19:50,533
Britt! Britt!
Britt! Britt!

378
00:19:50,567 --> 00:19:52,467
Britt! Britt! Britt!
Britt! Britt!

379
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:54,167
Tonight, she defends her title

380
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,067
in a battle
of the wrestling titans.

381
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:00,800
Boyfriend, Adam Cole, hopes to
win a championship of his own.

382
00:20:02,233 --> 00:20:03,467
Why do you think it's big here?

383
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:05,067
In Pittsburgh?

384
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:06,677
Yeah, what is it
about Pittsburgh that...

385
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:08,533
Pittsburgh is a big
sports city in general.

386
00:20:08,567 --> 00:20:10,633
We have the Penguins,
the Pirates, the Steelers.

387
00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:12,700
They're so proud
of their sports teams.

388
00:20:12,733 --> 00:20:16,633
They're also very proud of
their wrestling organization.

389
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:19,700
Everyone's independent.
No one's, like, contracted.

390
00:20:19,733 --> 00:20:23,467
You work where you want to work
and how you want to work.

391
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,633
It's the big town,
small city vibe.

392
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,500
So the fact that it's not
WWE is a point of pride?

393
00:20:28,533 --> 00:20:32,400
Yep. To me, wrestling fans
are the most passionate fans

394
00:20:32,433 --> 00:20:34,700
of any form of sport
or entertainment.

395
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:37,133
This is awesome!

396
00:20:37,167 --> 00:20:40,200
I will confess to you
that I took a dim view

397
00:20:40,233 --> 00:20:42,500
of professional wrestling.
Oh, okay.

398
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:44,067
Like, ah, it's not real,

399
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:45,593
it's like there are these
outrageous characters.

400
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,467
I don't get it at all,
and my daughter started

401
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:50,467
to get really into it
with her best friend,

402
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,033
so I got tickets
to WWE in New York.

403
00:20:53,067 --> 00:20:54,867
- Oh, right on.
- And I'd go in, I'm like,

404
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,467
"I want to wear a bag on my head"

405
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:57,885
because I'm, like,
really embarrassed

406
00:20:57,900 --> 00:20:59,167
to go to this thing.

407
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,967
This is gonna be totally lame.

408
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,633
Well, five minutes
into this thing,

409
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:06,300
I think, this is like
the greatest show on earth.

410
00:21:06,333 --> 00:21:08,133
Britt! Britt! Britt!
Britt! Britt! Britt!

411
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:11,833
♪

412
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,967
It's physically very,
very demanding,

413
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,200
and more to the point,
it's super dangerous.

414
00:21:23,233 --> 00:21:24,900
- Yeah, oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

415
00:21:24,933 --> 00:21:27,967
I mean, most wrestlers
get really busted up.

416
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,633
Some of these pile drivers,

417
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:32,967
neck cranks,

418
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,200
body slams,

419
00:21:35,233 --> 00:21:37,900
you got to be...
Correct me if I'm wrong,

420
00:21:37,933 --> 00:21:41,467
you can get that wrong,
it's bad.

421
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,633
Everything can be gone
in a second, yeah.

422
00:21:43,667 --> 00:21:46,133
Wrestling is inches
in many scenarios.

423
00:21:46,167 --> 00:21:47,867
Like you said, with,
like, a pile driver,

424
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:49,833
if you're off
even by a little bit,

425
00:21:49,867 --> 00:21:51,167
that could be a broken neck.

426
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,967
- A lot of trust.
- Yeah.

427
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,660
Right before he's about
to go out and wrestle,

428
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:56,260
I'll always grab him
and be like give him a kiss

429
00:21:56,267 --> 00:21:59,967
and like, "Be safe, be safe."

430
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,400
Every aspiring wrestler,
since the great local hero

431
00:22:03,433 --> 00:22:06,300
Bruno Sammartino,
needs nourishment.

432
00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:10,133
In this case, Kielbasa,
sauerkraut, some pierogis,

433
00:22:10,167 --> 00:22:13,167
and a side of molten
mac and cheese.

434
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,967
Oh, I should ask,
are you the heavy...

435
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,667
Is it the heavy or
what's the bad guy called?

436
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:18,967
The heel.

437
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,467
- The heel.
- Yes.

438
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,160
Are either of you the heel
or are you the...

439
00:22:22,167 --> 00:22:24,467
She's a big baby face.
I'm the big heel.

440
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,033
So baby face is who
everybody wants to win.

441
00:22:27,067 --> 00:22:28,700
- Yes.
- You're a heel?

442
00:22:28,733 --> 00:22:30,233
I am.

443
00:22:30,267 --> 00:22:32,733
So what qualities is one
looking for in a heel?

444
00:22:32,767 --> 00:22:36,233
It's just being someone
that an audience member

445
00:22:36,267 --> 00:22:38,133
either doesn't want to be

446
00:22:38,167 --> 00:22:40,200
or wants to see
get their ass kicked.

447
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:43,633
- So over-confident.
- Yep.

448
00:22:43,667 --> 00:22:45,467
- Narcissistic.
- Yep.

449
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,733
- Sneaky.
- Uh-huh.

450
00:22:46,767 --> 00:22:48,300
- He's good.
- Yeah, exactly.

451
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:50,133
You got it.
You could be a great heel.

452
00:22:50,167 --> 00:22:52,800
Yeah, you could be
a heel tomorrow, yeah.

453
00:22:52,833 --> 00:22:55,033
Comes naturally.

454
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,567
Is it a sport or is it
more of a cathartic,

455
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,667
emotional experience
because it goes beyond sport?

456
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,333
There's nuance there.

457
00:23:10,367 --> 00:23:12,700
There are tortured souls
who are struggling

458
00:23:12,733 --> 00:23:15,033
with the good and evil
in themselves.

459
00:23:15,067 --> 00:23:16,967
- Wrestling is live theater.
- Right.

460
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,567
It's sport.
It's a rock concert.

461
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,300
It's all this stuff
wrapped into one.

462
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:22,033
I think that when people realize

463
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,700
that pro wrestling
has more in common

464
00:23:23,733 --> 00:23:25,467
with "Game of Thrones"
than it does UFC...

465
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:27,300
- Right.
- They accept it more

466
00:23:27,333 --> 00:23:29,567
and they appreciate it
for what it is.

467
00:23:34,267 --> 00:23:38,900
Come to the Jozsa Corner
where the kolbasz is delicious.

468
00:23:38,933 --> 00:23:41,133
Chunky too. Tasty too.

469
00:23:41,167 --> 00:23:43,300
Make your belly feel so good.

470
00:23:43,333 --> 00:23:44,800
Everybody!

471
00:23:44,833 --> 00:23:47,633
Come to the Jozsa Corner.
Come to the Jozsa corner.

472
00:23:47,667 --> 00:23:50,067
Alexander Jozsa Bodner
fled Hungary

473
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,833
during the Soviet Union's

474
00:23:51,867 --> 00:23:55,467
crushing suppression
of their revolution in 1956.

475
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,300
- One more time...
- Come to the Jozsa Corner.

476
00:23:58,333 --> 00:24:00,367
At Jozsa Corner he runs,

477
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,160
what's not really a restaurant
in the classic sense,

478
00:24:02,167 --> 00:24:04,667
but a house party with food.

479
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:08,033
Classics from the old country
like chicken paprikas,

480
00:24:08,067 --> 00:24:10,733
langos and kolbasz.

481
00:24:10,767 --> 00:24:12,967
Cheers.
Salut.

482
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,633
My dining companion is part

483
00:24:14,667 --> 00:24:16,633
of a more recent
wave of immigrants.

484
00:24:16,667 --> 00:24:20,333
Jamilka Borges moved here
from Puerto Rico in 2007

485
00:24:20,367 --> 00:24:23,300
and began working in what
was then a restaurant scene

486
00:24:23,333 --> 00:24:25,467
that was just getting started.

487
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:33,733
You spent your
whole life in Puerto Rico

488
00:24:33,767 --> 00:24:35,133
before you came here?
I did.

489
00:24:35,167 --> 00:24:37,733
I moved here, what,
when I was 21,

490
00:24:37,767 --> 00:24:40,467
and, I don't know, Pittsburgh
is, like, really unique,

491
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,467
like in the sense that
everybody knows each other.

492
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:46,133
It's such a small town that,
like, here you know everyone,

493
00:24:46,167 --> 00:24:48,400
and it's really easy
to make friends,

494
00:24:48,433 --> 00:24:49,867
and that made it easier.

495
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:51,800
What about culturally?
How different?

496
00:24:51,833 --> 00:24:53,067
Oh, cucumber salad?

497
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:54,633
- Cucumber salad.
- Beautiful.

498
00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:56,533
It's very much like
a really white town

499
00:24:56,567 --> 00:24:58,700
that you go to every
single restaurant

500
00:24:58,733 --> 00:25:01,833
and, like, it's white males.

501
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:03,733
People not even
understanding, like,

502
00:25:03,767 --> 00:25:07,467
the relationship that we had
as a country with Puerto Rico.

503
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:12,467
Like, "No, I don't need a green
card to work here," right?

504
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:14,633
Ten years later,
she was running Spoon

505
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:18,000
and getting national attention
for her Latin-influenced take

506
00:25:18,033 --> 00:25:20,633
on new American food.

507
00:25:20,667 --> 00:25:22,967
Why did you decide to stay?
I wanted to cook,

508
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,367
which I had no clue
what that meant,

509
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,233
and I needed to prove something,

510
00:25:26,267 --> 00:25:28,300
like for me, for my family,
for, like, I don't know.

511
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:30,067
- Spite.
- Yeah, it's spite.

512
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:31,833
It was like,
"No, like, I'm gonna do this."

513
00:25:31,867 --> 00:25:33,660
- That's a powerful motive.
- It was kind of like...

514
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:36,133
My family had no clue
what I was going into.

515
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:38,233
I still remember, like,
my grandma being like,

516
00:25:38,267 --> 00:25:40,167
"You're gonna be what?"

517
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,533
I'm Puerto Rican, like,
my grandma's vision was like,

518
00:25:42,567 --> 00:25:44,967
"Oh, you're gonna either cook
for your husband or family

519
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,067
or you're, like,
professional help."

520
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:51,833
Certainly, when I started
in the business anyway,

521
00:25:51,867 --> 00:25:54,200
it was pretty much
a boys' club in the kitchen.

522
00:25:54,233 --> 00:25:55,800
What was it like here
when you started?

523
00:25:55,833 --> 00:25:57,500
Was it different here?

524
00:25:57,533 --> 00:26:00,500
It was, and I think, to a
certain degree, it still is.

525
00:26:00,533 --> 00:26:03,500
Like, this mushroom guy,
he comes every year.

526
00:26:03,533 --> 00:26:05,800
He knows who I am
and I'm like the only person,

527
00:26:05,833 --> 00:26:08,133
like, with a clipboard in white,

528
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:10,300
and he's still like,
"Can I talk to the chef?"

529
00:26:10,333 --> 00:26:11,367
Right.

530
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,000
That's me.
I'm on the side of...

531
00:26:13,033 --> 00:26:14,833
Let me smack you
and write "chef"

532
00:26:14,867 --> 00:26:16,467
backwards on your forehead.

533
00:26:19,767 --> 00:26:22,700
So who's coming to town now?

534
00:26:22,733 --> 00:26:24,567
I mean, who are your customers?

535
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,300
So, you know, last three or
four years we have been having,

536
00:26:28,333 --> 00:26:31,867
like, new move of,
like, 30's, like young,

537
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:33,500
mid 20-something
to 30-something, like,

538
00:26:33,533 --> 00:26:35,900
engineers and, like techies
moving into town.

539
00:26:35,933 --> 00:26:39,700
- That's good for business.
- Sure, but...

540
00:26:39,733 --> 00:26:41,200
You seem wary about the future.

541
00:26:41,233 --> 00:26:42,800
Do you think this is a bubble

542
00:26:42,833 --> 00:26:44,467
or do you think
it's gonna keep growing?

543
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:46,193
I think I'm actually like
a really positive person

544
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,167
and I'm like, I want...

545
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,067
I want it to work, I just...
Yes, I am definitely worried.

546
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:57,233
I think that the city
is growing fast,

547
00:26:57,267 --> 00:26:59,000
and, like, I don't know

548
00:26:59,033 --> 00:27:01,267
if we're able
to keep up with it.

549
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,300
This is not my town anymore.

550
00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:26,467
When I was young and growing up,

551
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:28,800
I was shooting craps
and chased by the cops.

552
00:27:28,833 --> 00:27:30,967
Now I'm sitting around
with a bunch of people

553
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,800
talking about hops.

554
00:27:32,833 --> 00:27:35,333
This is not my town anymore.

555
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,467
The town of Braddock
is where Andrew Carnegie

556
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:45,233
built his first steel mill
in the 1870s.

557
00:27:45,267 --> 00:27:47,300
By the turn of the century,

558
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:48,733
he bought another one
up the river,

559
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:52,133
the Carrie Furnaces.

560
00:27:52,167 --> 00:27:54,367
These smoke and fire
belching behemoths

561
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,467
were the heart of
a steel-producing industry

562
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,400
that spread throughout
the Monongahela River Valley,

563
00:27:59,433 --> 00:28:01,800
generating wealth
and power to the few

564
00:28:01,833 --> 00:28:05,800
and a decent living to many.

565
00:28:05,833 --> 00:28:09,300
When tomorrow comes, you'll
have a better so-called today.

566
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:11,033
So you're thinking of the day

567
00:28:11,067 --> 00:28:14,467
will decide your destiny
and your future.

568
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:16,700
And if you don't succeed,
it's your own fault

569
00:28:16,733 --> 00:28:19,700
because you didn't take
control of what you think

570
00:28:19,733 --> 00:28:22,633
because what you think
is gonna decide what you do,

571
00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:25,700
and what you do is gonna
decide what you get.

572
00:28:25,733 --> 00:28:28,233
Now, that's all for today,
folks. Let's go to work.

573
00:28:28,267 --> 00:28:30,633
For the last 40 years,

574
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:32,633
Tony Buba has been
making documentaries

575
00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:34,733
about the fate of the
working class in Braddock.

576
00:28:34,767 --> 00:28:37,133
He grew up here
during the town's heyday,

577
00:28:37,167 --> 00:28:38,633
the '40s and '50s,

578
00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:41,300
before leaving to go
to film school.

579
00:28:41,333 --> 00:28:43,033
Why did you come back?
Why did I come back?

580
00:28:43,067 --> 00:28:45,800
I was gone from
about '68 to about '75.

581
00:28:45,833 --> 00:28:47,233
They I came home,

582
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:49,800
and I saw everything's
decaying even worse,

583
00:28:49,833 --> 00:28:51,333
and the people I hung out with,

584
00:28:51,367 --> 00:28:53,567
like there's Sal Carulli
and other guys,

585
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,067
they were these
really characters.

586
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,067
Chico pushed the button me.

587
00:28:57,100 --> 00:28:58,633
No one' gonna push
the button on me.

588
00:28:58,667 --> 00:29:00,367
Nobody. Nobody.

589
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,400
The only guy that can do
that is that guy up there,

590
00:29:02,433 --> 00:29:06,567
J.C.
J. C., my man.

591
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,467
There's a lot of
World War II people

592
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,633
that were starting to die off,
and I was really like,

593
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:12,967
"This is gonna disappear,
and the industry's going away."

594
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,967
So I didn't know what else
to make films about,

595
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,633
so I just started documentaries
and I just wanted to capture,

596
00:29:18,667 --> 00:29:20,667
and get some of these
characters on film,

597
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:22,167
and make them mythical.

598
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,633
But you stayed in Braddock

599
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:25,000
because Braddock
was your subject.

600
00:29:25,033 --> 00:29:26,160
It's my subject, and I thought,

601
00:29:26,167 --> 00:29:27,733
"Okay, what if I move?"

602
00:29:27,767 --> 00:29:29,393
If I move to Los Angeles,
maybe I can get a job

603
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,200
in the industry,
but what if I get stuck

604
00:29:31,233 --> 00:29:32,926
working on "Love Boat"
my whole life, you know?

605
00:29:32,933 --> 00:29:34,360
Yeah, that would be
the nightmare scenario.

606
00:29:34,367 --> 00:29:35,333
Yeah, exactly.

607
00:29:35,367 --> 00:29:37,967
In the mid-20th century,

608
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,333
the population
of Braddock was 20,000.

609
00:29:40,367 --> 00:29:42,867
Today it's down to 2,000,

610
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:46,467
more than 40% of whom
live below the poverty line.

611
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:48,700
This is where I went
to Junior High School.

612
00:29:48,733 --> 00:29:51,067
- Closed?
- Yeah, closed.

613
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,533
So who's moving in?
Is anyone moving in now?

614
00:29:53,567 --> 00:29:55,567
Nobody's moving
into Pittsburgh, actually.

615
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,093
Well, I thought you had
all these tech jobs

616
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,900
coming in, Google and Uber.

617
00:29:58,933 --> 00:30:01,467
You know, all that stuff is
coming in but they sort of do

618
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:04,133
this upbeat bullshit
about people coming in.

619
00:30:04,167 --> 00:30:07,533
If it wasn't for some
30,000 immigrants,

620
00:30:07,567 --> 00:30:11,967
the population would have
dropped even more.

621
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,133
- Now, this is the brewer.
- Right.

622
00:30:15,167 --> 00:30:17,633
Yeah, they've done
really well with this place.

623
00:30:17,667 --> 00:30:20,233
Well, who drinks there?
I mean, are they locals?

624
00:30:20,267 --> 00:30:22,567
No, no, it's too expensive,
$7.00 a beer.

625
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,733
There's people coming in
on bicycles, grabbing a beer.

626
00:30:25,767 --> 00:30:27,700
Getting something
from the taco truck,

627
00:30:27,733 --> 00:30:29,333
and they want to sort have

628
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:31,033
like, a "The Wire"
experience, you know.

629
00:30:31,067 --> 00:30:32,833
"Yeah, I was in Braddock
having a beer."

630
00:30:32,867 --> 00:30:35,200
You know, sort of giving
a little cred to their lives.

631
00:30:35,233 --> 00:30:37,567
I don't know,
and it's all sort of,

632
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,133
you know, white businesses.

633
00:30:41,167 --> 00:30:43,800
In 1988, the state
classified Braddock

634
00:30:43,833 --> 00:30:45,700
as financially distressed,

635
00:30:45,733 --> 00:30:48,300
their term for bankruptcy,

636
00:30:48,333 --> 00:30:51,167
a status it still holds today.

637
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,970
This is still working.
This is still working.

638
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,233
It's the only plant working
in the whole Mon Valley.

639
00:30:55,267 --> 00:30:57,967
This is where my dad
worked for 46 years.

640
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,867
The last time I was there
it looked like a spaceship,

641
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:02,633
it was all so modernized.

642
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:05,700
There's probably 500 people
doing the work of, you know,

643
00:31:05,733 --> 00:31:09,233
when my dad was there, 5,000.

644
00:31:09,267 --> 00:31:11,000
So what do you think
it's gonna take?

645
00:31:11,033 --> 00:31:13,467
Or do you think
it's just gonna die?

646
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:15,467
I think we're in the last
stages of capitalism,

647
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,160
because this is...
You're talking socialism?

648
00:31:17,167 --> 00:31:18,900
Yeah, yeah, I'm talking
socialism, yeah.

649
00:31:18,933 --> 00:31:21,400
When the magical workers'
paradise arrives,

650
00:31:21,433 --> 00:31:23,500
will Braddock be here?
Will Braddock be here?

651
00:31:23,533 --> 00:31:26,233
I wish there was, like,
a simple answer to all this.

652
00:31:28,667 --> 00:31:30,733
I'll die before I actually
see what happens.

653
00:31:30,767 --> 00:31:33,567
I'm not gonna know the story,
and it really bothers me.

654
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,033
It's the only thing I hate
about the thought of dying

655
00:31:36,067 --> 00:31:38,367
is that I don't know
what the story's gonna be.

656
00:31:50,267 --> 00:31:53,567
Braddock, Pennsylvania,
sustained a real traumatic

657
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,667
unraveling that was common

658
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:58,367
in Rust Belt
communities and towns,

659
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,567
but ours was a particularly
severe example of that.

660
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,067
- Average income?
- We're around $20,000, so...

661
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:06,900
- Which is...
- Which is substantially below

662
00:32:06,933 --> 00:32:08,833
the Pennsylvania average.

663
00:32:08,867 --> 00:32:10,826
Yeah, I'll have mothers
that will call me on a Monday,

664
00:32:10,833 --> 00:32:12,467
and, you know, by Friday

665
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:14,393
they're gonna be out of food
to feed their three kids,

666
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,367
and this happens
quite regularly.

667
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400
John Fetterman does not look
like your typical mayor,

668
00:32:19,433 --> 00:32:20,967
and he isn't.

669
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,633
He came to Braddock in 2001

670
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,967
to help at-risk youth
get their GEDs,

671
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
and ran for office here in one
of the most depressed towns

672
00:32:27,833 --> 00:32:29,833
in the state four years later.

673
00:32:29,867 --> 00:32:33,567
His wife, Gisele, is from Rio,
and she runs a nonprofit

674
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,367
that provides food and
essential supplies for more

675
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,633
than 1,500 families each month.

676
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:42,167
A lot of people
in this country are angry.

677
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,467
They feel that their
anger has not been

678
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:45,967
acknowledged in any way,

679
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,308
and frankly,
I think they're right.

680
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:49,800
- Yep.
- There is a sense,

681
00:32:49,833 --> 00:32:52,467
particularly in rural,
white America,

682
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,800
of aggrievement
that nobody's listening,

683
00:32:55,833 --> 00:32:57,633
nobody's caring about them.

684
00:32:57,667 --> 00:33:00,033
I mean, Western PA
played a pivotal role

685
00:33:00,067 --> 00:33:01,833
in helping elect Donald Trump,

686
00:33:01,867 --> 00:33:03,367
and he turned Pennsylvania red

687
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,300
for the first time since '88,

688
00:33:05,333 --> 00:33:07,467
and did it so with a margin
of about 44,000 people,

689
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:09,567
a lot of whom,
as you referenced,

690
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,300
are disaffected Democrats.

691
00:33:11,333 --> 00:33:13,300
Somebody phrased it to me
where it's like,

692
00:33:13,333 --> 00:33:15,133
"If the economy's
not gonna work for me,

693
00:33:15,167 --> 00:33:17,167
then I don't want it
to work for anybody."

694
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,833
How does that manifest itself
on a local basis for you?

695
00:33:20,867 --> 00:33:22,333
It's an honor to be involved,

696
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:25,633
and I hope whoever it is
that's next

697
00:33:25,667 --> 00:33:27,633
realizes that you need

698
00:33:27,667 --> 00:33:30,367
to go outside your community's
borders to bring help in,

699
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,367
and that's what
I've tried to do.

700
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,733
That means people like
four-time Super Bowl champion,

701
00:33:34,767 --> 00:33:36,333
Franco Harris,

702
00:33:36,367 --> 00:33:38,167
and if you're wondering
how he could help,

703
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,133
you might be surprised
by the answer.

704
00:33:41,167 --> 00:33:44,167
Franco and I hope to be
growing medical marijuana

705
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,300
about a block from here.
We put in an application

706
00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:50,167
for a large grow facility
here in our community,

707
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,533
which would be a real
economic shot in the arm,

708
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:53,967
and it's been a real honor

709
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,167
to partner with someone
like Franco.

710
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,133
Why is this a cause for you?

711
00:33:58,167 --> 00:34:00,133
I'm a believer
in medical marijuana

712
00:34:00,167 --> 00:34:02,000
because of pain management,

713
00:34:02,033 --> 00:34:06,067
and I run into many ex-players

714
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:07,800
who deal with pain management,

715
00:34:07,833 --> 00:34:10,967
and, right now, the
alternatives don't look good,

716
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,500
and we have a lot of problems

717
00:34:12,533 --> 00:34:13,926
with the alternatives
that they've had so.

718
00:34:13,933 --> 00:34:15,633
There's no doubt about that.

719
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:18,233
Western PA's been ravaged
by the opioid crisis,

720
00:34:18,267 --> 00:34:22,800
and it positions us
for the eventual legalization

721
00:34:22,833 --> 00:34:24,833
of marijuana and...

722
00:34:24,867 --> 00:34:26,900
It would also pull
Braddock out of Act 47,

723
00:34:26,933 --> 00:34:29,533
so we would no longer
be fiscally bankrupt.

724
00:34:32,433 --> 00:34:34,033
Braddock lost its initial bid

725
00:34:34,067 --> 00:34:35,900
for a medical marijuana license,

726
00:34:35,933 --> 00:34:37,467
but there are a few other

727
00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:39,333
madcap entrepreneurial
efforts in town,

728
00:34:39,367 --> 00:34:42,200
lone dreamers with a plan.

729
00:34:42,233 --> 00:34:45,800
One such dreamer
is chef Kevin Sousa.

730
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:48,467
Kevin was the first
of a new generation of chefs

731
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,533
to bring national
attention to Pittsburgh

732
00:34:50,567 --> 00:34:52,133
when he opened his restaurant,

733
00:34:52,167 --> 00:34:55,333
Salt of the Earth, in 2010.

734
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:57,033
What are we looking at
here, Chef?

735
00:34:57,067 --> 00:34:59,033
- All right, so...
- Beautiful.

736
00:34:59,067 --> 00:35:02,700
We are landlocked,
so seafood is tough.

737
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:05,967
This is Lake Erie Walleye Pike,

738
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,067
some new potatoes from the farm,

739
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:10,733
some of the crackling
from the fish,

740
00:35:10,767 --> 00:35:14,167
took the skin crisped it up,
it's nice and crunchy,

741
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,633
and then just a lot
of little farm herbs.

742
00:35:16,667 --> 00:35:18,367
Now, after some bumps
in the road,

743
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,467
he's improbably turning
this building,

744
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,467
a former Chevy dealership,
into his latest restaurant,

745
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:25,367
Superior Motors.

746
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,800
Opening night is less
than a month away.

747
00:35:27,833 --> 00:35:29,400
Do I have to eat this?

748
00:35:29,433 --> 00:35:31,967
I mean, it's too pretty.
It's too pretty to eat. Jeez.

749
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,093
The fish is amazing, by the way.

750
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:34,467
Oh, thank you very much.

751
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:35,693
Where were you born and raised?

752
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,233
McKees Rocks.

753
00:35:37,267 --> 00:35:38,883
- You're close to your roots.
- Yeah, yeah,

754
00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:42,067
in locality and in spirit.

755
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:44,133
Is the restaurant
business any... I mean,

756
00:35:44,167 --> 00:35:45,826
'cause I know, you know,
it's been bumpy for you.

757
00:35:45,833 --> 00:35:47,167
It has.

758
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,700
You over-expanded
or over-extended?

759
00:35:48,733 --> 00:35:50,333
Over-expanded with no capital.

760
00:35:50,367 --> 00:35:52,333
I just thought we were
gonna open the doors

761
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:54,200
and everyone was gonna
go apeshit

762
00:35:54,233 --> 00:35:57,300
for whatever it is
that I served, and I learned.

763
00:35:57,333 --> 00:35:59,967
As serendipity would have it,
I met John.

764
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,233
Asked if I'd be interested in
going for a walk in Braddock.

765
00:36:03,267 --> 00:36:06,200
Came out to Braddock.
Fell in love.

766
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:07,800
- With Braddock, not me.
- With Braddock.

767
00:36:09,867 --> 00:36:12,300
You know, it reminded me of
McKees Rocks, and McKees Rocks,

768
00:36:12,333 --> 00:36:15,967
you know, has suffered much in
the same way as Braddock has.

769
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,500
Kevin says he has ambitions

770
00:36:18,533 --> 00:36:20,667
that go beyond turning a profit.

771
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,500
His restaurant hopes to
provide tuition-free training,

772
00:36:23,533 --> 00:36:25,733
and they're partnering
with a local urban farm

773
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:28,200
that employs high school
students to grow produce

774
00:36:28,233 --> 00:36:30,567
in the shadows
of the old steel mill.

775
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,533
And though we are talking
a swank, high-end restaurant

776
00:36:33,567 --> 00:36:36,300
designed to attract the monied
classes from out of town,

777
00:36:36,333 --> 00:36:40,467
locals will be offered
steeply discounted meals.

778
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:44,000
So this is beautiful,
grass-fed beef short ribs

779
00:36:44,033 --> 00:36:48,467
sitting on a bed of lightly
blanched milkweed buds.

780
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:52,700
On top, a bunch of
over-wintered sun choke chips.

781
00:36:52,733 --> 00:36:54,233
- Nice.
- Awesome.

782
00:36:54,267 --> 00:36:56,500
That's the compliment
I was looking for.

783
00:36:56,533 --> 00:37:00,067
I was trying to work
