| - Yoi! Double Yoi!
This is one legendary sandwich that reeks of classic old school Pittsburgh.
There's a few Primanti Bros around da 'burgh but I've only been to the original...
da one dats dahn da shtrip.
Park in the small lot. Chances are some dahn-n-out guy will ask you for spare change.
Step inside: Paneled walls like it's some cheapskate's wreck room who refuses to remodel. Two dining rooms of tables, 1st one has a counter you can sit at and watch your sammich get assembled. Choose your meat: steak, corned beef, pastrami, etc... I've only ever gotten the pastrami. Why change a good thing? Which actually is the philosophy behind the entire establishment.
The sandwich: two slices of big soft i-talian bread, meat, cheese, slaw, fries, tomato, onions... that's right, cole slaw and french fries IN the sammich... the parts as individual food stuffs might not be incredibly amazing... but they way they put it all together, the Primanti way, adds up to a magical sum that is much greater than its individual parts. The softness of the bread wraps itself around the ingredients into one scrumptious mess. Try to open wide and bite into that! Delicious!
Borrowing the words of the legendary late great Steelers sportscaster Myron Cope,
"Yoi! Double Yoi!"
That's one fine tasty sammich.
