For eight years, Rachael Rennebeck has teamed with John Chamberlin to promote the wacky and heartfelt culture of Pittsburgh as the co-owner of YaJagoff! Media. The podcast hosts branched out in October to create a new video format on Fridays. As the daughter of Jack Hunt, the frontman for Johnny Angel and the Halos, Rennebeck is a born entertainer. She also just began her second four-year term as a North Hills School District board member. She says her greatest thrill as a school director has been to hand out a diploma to her oldest son; she’ll soon get that chance again with her two younger kids.

We wanted to know: What is Rachael Rennebeck’s Best of the ‘Burgh?

What’s your Pittsburgh “hidden gem,” a place that you love that doesn’t get the attention it deserves?

The Bayernhof Museum in O’Hara

If you could only eat one local meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Because she follows a gluten-free diet: Polenta with spinach, feta, garlic, toasted pignoli nuts and diced tomato at PaPa J’s Twin Plaza in the Strip District. “When you find something that is gluten-free and it’s so good, you want to hang on to it.”

If Pittsburgh had a theme song, what would it be?

Eat’n Park’s “Place for Smiles” commercial jingle — the original, early-’90s version.

What’s the annual tradition that you wait for every year?

Picklesburgh. “John and I have emceed the pickle juice drinking contest since its inception. It’s become so iconic.”

Favorite Pittsburgh appearance in a movie or on television?

“This is Us”

What’s your unpopular Pittsburgh opinion? What is something you think about the city (or a famous aspect of it) that won’t win you any friends?

“We’re often known for all the different pizzas. ‘Oh, you love Mineo’s. You love this, you love that.’ Everybody has their take on their favorite pizza — I don’t like pizza.”

Where’s the first place you take out-of-town guests?

Her dad’s music museum, Johnny Angel’s Ginchy Stuff, on the North Side.

If you could bring back one Pittsburgh place or restaurant that’s no longer there, which would you pick?

The Primadonna restaurant in McKees Rocks. Rennebeck grew up in Brighton Heights and she and her brother loved it when her parents went there for the evening. “They were gone forever because it was like the who’s who. Everybody would see each other. And that meant my brother and I had the house to ourselves.”

You get one Incline ride with any Pittsburgher, living or dead. Who is it?

Sidney Crosby. “He’s a role model.”
