Thanks for the check! It was even worse than my pre-coffee arithmetic scored it.

Even as a proud native of the 'Burgh (Eighty-Four, "Little" Washington, and New Wilmington) I never grew up with the "meal-between-bread bit".

Then, the Strip wasn't exactly "touristy". My first Primanti experience was back in the '80's when we visited my eldest while he was attending Carnegie-Mellon. I asked for my fries and slaw on the side and my son was horrified: "But you grew up here!" "Yeah, but I never drove a truck or walked in the Strip - especially at night".

I saw this when I started researching a possible weekend trip to Pittsburgh. I figured it might be worth a trip there at least to experience it but considering the response on this thread I will have to rethink it.

Try Peppi's in the Strip for a Roethlisburger. Nice sandwich. Primanti's is OK, I have no argument with them either but Peppi's is worth a stop when in the Strip.

Every one of the Primanti Bros. sandwiches sold at Steelers games is a little miracle of caloric wonderment. After all, the multiple layers of meat soar like a high-rise and are topped with coleslaw, tomatoes and french fries. Photo courtesy of Ben Kessler via Unbreaded.com.

As was already referenced above...but redundancy always helps, thanks Michael.

Oh, so you had written permission to publish it here. I didn't realize that, as it wasn't in the post. As I'm sure you are aware, attribution alone doesn't work.

Folks don't have to like fries and slaw on their sandwiches but how can true Roadfooders not appreciate that this is pure unadulterated roadfood? It's a local variation created in response to a local need and defined by an independent owner's opinion of what a sandwich is supposed to be. It has a history and heritage. The idea of it alone puts a grin on my face and I do think it's a tasty sandwich. Mere massive piles of meat for really cheap doesn't make a roadfood.

As far as beggars, if you think Pittsburgh is bad you obviously have never been to Chicago or Portland or dozens of other cities for that matter.

Thick layers of slaw and fries as cheap filler.
Minuscule layer of meat.

Yuck.

It's a Primanti's rip-off mini chain in the Cleveland area. I actually went there when I was on Cat Duty last year in Cleveland.

Huh, and I guess we have one in Columbus as well. Though it looks to me like an OSU undergrad bar. In other words, I'll wait until next time I am in Pittsburgh.

Buffetbuster that is a fantastic view of Primanti's....it is one the top on my list that I've yet to get to. I'm not too familiar with Pittsburghers...I see Batman

I like Primanti's. I have been there many times and the service has always been excellent. Even as a Redwing fan I was treated well. Each time I have been there it has been locals and not tourist. Great place to bring a group or watch a game...Russ

For those who haven't been there and want to see what the original Primanti's location looks like, check this out from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Actually, I thought it was a little closer to Panetone than either of the other two.

The Stromboli Province? You did know I was kidding, right? I figured your question was one of your smart aleck retorts, so I followed in kind. Sorry if I mislead you, Michael.

The Stromboli Province? Yeah it's right next to the Cannelloni Prefecture...

BTW, Michael, Panninis is a small town in Italy, in the north end of the Stromboli Province.

No, no, don't thank me. I'm just trying to be helpful.

Buddy

You know, first I tried looking up restaurants in Northeast Ohio named Panninis, but found nothing. Then I looked it up on the Ohio map as the name of a town because the poster listed his location as Tallmadge, Ohio. I wasn't able to find it, obviously, as you have have pointed out that it's in Italy.

I appreciate the fact that you were being helpful.
