Well-Known Pittsburgh Restaurateur Opening New Eatery

PITTSBURGH, PA - A noted Pittsburgh restaurateur will debut a new fast casual eatery this spring.

Herky Pollock, along with his wife, Lisa, and Chef Ed Smith and Amanda Smith, will open The Common Good in the Union Trust Building, Downtown. Herky Pollock is a co-owner of the Burgatory and Shorty's chains in Pittsburgh as well as Ritual House, Downtown, and Palm Palm in Eastside.

Opening in the space formerly occupied by Freshii, The Common Good will have quick casual breakfast, lunch and snack offerings that will include grain bowls, salads, sandwiches, acai bowls, bakery items and smoothies.

“The desire and need to have an affordable and quick lunch spot that offers healthy and tasty meals has been overlooked along Grant Street," said Herky Pollock, who also is president and CEO of Legacy Realty Partners. “With Ritual House in the same building as The Common Good, it just makes sense to extend our offerings to a new collection of customers."
