Their sandwiches have graced virtually every FoodTV and Travel Channel road show. They have a boatload of locations in and around The Burgh. They have a devoted, committed following ready to bring the Primanti gospel across the land, so it’s not like they need little old Steve to sing their praises, but this is an equal opportunity blog, so here they be.
If you’re not familiar with the Primanti drill, they take your choice of sandwich meat, cheese or egg, pile on a wide handful of french fries, add a liberal scoop of cole slaw, top with tomato slices, and compress the thick deliciousness between two pieces of Italian bread.
During my visit to The Burgh, I tried the Kolbassi and cheese which was indeed very good. The cole slaw providing tart accent to the rich sausage and hot fries. That being said, after seeing others in my party tear into the Pitts-Burgher Cheese Steak, I had to wonder if I made the right choice and the photo below from Krystin and Matt, Primanti mob members in good standing, solidified my choice next time I find myself in The Burgh:
A quick and final aside, by the time we arrived at the Primanti location nearest our hotel and had a few rounds to celebrate of course, the kitchen had somehow closed. Amazingly, after a short discussion indicating that our group had come all the way from New York to eat a sandwich, the chef opened up shop and made sandwiches for our entire by now somewhat staggering crew of lumber industry luminaries.
And he would not accept a cash incentive for his exceptional above the call of duty effort. Toto, we weren’t in Kansas anymore.
Speaking of Dorothy, I wish I had a pair of those damned shoes, I have photographic evidence of two Primanti sandwiches and four large beers purchased for $20.00 US. Are you freaking kidding me?
