Where Should Cranberry's Culinary Bear Dine Next?

The bear already has been spotted at Buffalo Wild Wings and Burger King. Should it stop in for a bite in Sewickley as well?

When it comes to choosing between burgers and wings, the bear spotted in Cranberry prefers both.

Maybe he could scoop up some global cuisine at the new Noodles & Company? Or…
