There is a new, innovative takeout restaurant in Pittsburgh, called Conflict Kitchen, which only serves cuisine from countries that the United States of America is in conflict with. This landmark eatery was begun by three Pittsburgh artists - Jon Rubin, Jon Pena and Dawn Weleski, who aptly call it a "public artwork experiment," with the objective "to see how we can get past the conflict that is going on between governments and introduce people to the everyday life and culture of these countries." Till now, the restaurant has featured dishes from Iran, Afghanistan and Venezuela, and future examples hope to focus on North Korea, Cuba and other countries.
