Guacamole is Extra!
We’re huge fans of Mad Mex and Big Burrito in general, but holy guacamole, by now everyone should know it’s $1 extra (and worth every penny)! This tee was at Urban Outfitters and Mad Mex immediately came to mind. It’s not a Pittsburgh owned store, but you can check out Urban Outfitters in the South Side Works, or get the shirt online here.

On March 23-24, the 6th annual Farm to Table Conference will be held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in the Strip District.
