| - As a cap to my "tour of Pittsburgh," why not hit up one more of the area's famous eateries? I know Primanti Brothers is a chain, but it's still great and there's definitely a reason it's so well-known. The "unique" concept of the French fries INSIDE the sandwich is pretty cool - It supposedly originated because they used to sell their sandwiches to a lot of truckers (again, we're eating at a "trucker venue," see: "JoJo's") who could only use one hand to eat as they drove. Most people would be repulsed at the concept, but it all actually works pretty well together.
The South Side location is convenient to get to, but it was a bit grimy and unkempt. The service, however, was friendly and the prices are awesome - Something like $9 for a big, fresh sandwich. I chose the sandwich with roast chicken (which also has fries, lettuce and tomato between the Italian bread slices) and it was great... Satisfying and definitely something different. They have lots of choices (I think the one with eggs is the most popular), so there's certainly something for whatever suits your mood. The wait for our food wasn't long and there are a scattering of tables and chairs to eat at, though it seems a lot of people take it to go. This is definitely another "unique" Pittsburgh experience and one worth seeking out. Since it's a chain in the area, you've got your choices of locations too.
