A variety of different foods," explained B. Marshall, producer of Soulful Taste of the Burgh.Chicken wings are a classic example of good soul food. Frank Smith runs his food truck around Pittsburgh and says he has the best."All natural ingredients, that's why we have the best wings in the city. We don't say it, the people do," Smith said. There's also more beyond soul food. There's also Asian, Greek, Indian and even carnival food. Last year, according to VisitPittsburgh, the festival pumped over $1 million a day back into the economy.
