PITTSBURGH - Pirates' CEO Bob Nutting held a news conference today to introduce the replacement for "Outback Steakhouse" at PNC Park."'Outback' has been taken out back for a spanking," Nutting joked. "It simply wasn't serving the interests of our customers." Nutting unveiled plans to fill the vacated space with a chain new to Western Pennsylvania called "Cheapskates," a West Virginia-themed eatery owned and operated by Nutting himself. Nutting explained that "Cheapskates" will specialize in nondescript sandwiches and over-priced mixed drinks, "all served on paper plates and recycled cups."
Thanks to a grant from the RAD, Nutting said, "no expense will be spared" for the remodeled interior, including revolving bar and large , latest technology big screen TVs. "To give it that real West Virginia flavor," Nutting said, "we're going to import couches from Morgantown and set them on fire!"
