I was born & raised in Pittsburgh & when I finally was able to move away 23 years later I never once looked back or felt the tiniest twinge of regret.
BUT...
...there is one thing I very much truly miss, and that is a hot sausage sandwich from Primanti's. My boyfriend happily left Pittsburgh to join me in Philadelphia as well, but Primanti's is the one Pittsburgh topic that is continually brought up between us when is comes to fond memories of the Steel City.
A huge freakin' sandwich with french fries and cole slaw. I know, I know...I thought it was disgusting at first too, but it is truly some amazing sandwich.
Oh, what I would give for a Primanti's to pop up in Philadelphia. C'mon, anyone from Primanti's reading this? I think you guys would be a huge success on South Street or in Old City! *wink wink* Give us a try! ;)
I would have given 5 stars, but while I was in visiting over Thanksgiving I treated myself to my hot sausage fave, and it was sadly not as good as I remembered it (but still pretty damn fantastic!)
