I don't want to make a Primanti Brothers sandwich. I want to eat mine in a wooden booth or at the counter in Primanti's on 18th Street. And I want a parking space nearby.

You were fine up until the request for nearby parking......next thing is you'll be asking for extra napkins!

The last two visits I managed to slip into the same space, second car from Penn on 18th.

About off topic comments, etc...

Without them this place would be boring and just facts to read like a phone book.

Interaction makes a chat board. Snide remarks are sometimes off putting and sometimes down right droll.

So, where is Earl with his answers?

No mayo on a Primanti sammich ever! Only Red Devil hot sauce :D

The slaw is the only hard part of making them at home. Tried several times, but can't get the slaw right.

Here's a great sandwich with cole slaw ... from Primanti Bros. in Pittsburg.
This famous sandwich is essentially grilled meat, a vinegar-based cole slaw, tomato slices, and French fries between two pieces of Italian bread. And Pimanti Bros. recieved an America's Classics award from the James Beard Foundation in 2007 ... so ya don't gotta be a yinzer to enjoy one ...
Mangia!

There are other Primanti Bros sandwich recipes out there ... here is one ...

2 slices Italian bread
5-6 slices ham, thin (personally I would use Hot Capicola ... absolutely)
2 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup coleslaw
2 slices tomatoes
1 cup French fries, still warm
mayonnaise

Spread mayonnaise on bread.
Layer your choice of the above ingredients.
Serve on wax paper for authenticity.

Here's a Cole Slaw recipe that is said to be close to Primanti's (this particular recipe is one called "Amish cole slaw"). For use on the sandwich ...

1 medium head cabbage, cored and shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup white sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, onion, and 1 cup sugar. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, salt, celery seed, 1 teaspoon white sugar, mustard and oil. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Cool completely, then pour over cabbage mixture, and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

Here's a link to Primanti's menus for other combinations ...

When I was a kid I just used whatever peanut butter was in the house. For some years now my peanut butter has been Krema. Nothing but roasted peanuts. No oils, salt, additives -- nothing but peanuts.

http://www.krema.com/

Does it get oil on the top? I remember when I was a kid you had to mix the PB because the oils floated to the top.

It does get oil on top. But, you can just turn the jar over and let the oilmigrate back into the peanut butter. I mix it and then refrigerate it, and it won't separate again. But, Krema says you don't have to do that.

Here is a great-sounding citrus & peanut slaw recipe from the Marzetti site I cited above: http://www.marzetti.com/marzetti-kitchens/detail.php?rc=12&rid=476

Add a little teriyaki chicken breast and it would taste great on a bun!

Marshmallow spread.

Ah yes, as in Fluffer Nutter

It doesn't get any better than a Fluffernutter on Wonder Bread. When I was growing up I ate them all the time, and I never heard the word Fluffernutter till about ten years ago.

LOL, Mr. Hoffman.
Yes ,people can be a bit sarcastic on these threads. But as the rest of the world, we are skeptical about some questions. Had I posted this as my first inquiry on this thread( and I was a first time poster, and was walked thru certain things by a friend here) I would have responded to explain.I, myself, and apparently everyone else, have never heard of a cole slaw sandwich. Not that it couldnt exist.
Cole slaw on many sandwiches? Yes.

Why is it that so many high total posts members of this site post nothing but frivolous off topic comments, that many times can easily be construed by the op as condescending. To all those high post people that seem to have nothing better to do but interrupt and post off topic comments, I say, shut up, and frankly get a life.
It seems you all have nothing better to do than post off topic comments to every thread on this forum just so the topic can be diverted by another high post member.
This is especially true when posts are commented on this way by first time or what could be interpreted as folks that do not have a good grasp of the english language.
Quite frankly I'm thinking less and less of the people that continue to post like they own this forum...seen too many off topic quips and inside jokes to stick around much longer...not that anyone cares, and not limited to this particular thread.

As a "high post" person (that term doesn't mean much to me because most of the time I just don't "get" the internet) you probably know, I ignore 99 and 9/10 % of the posts on Roadfood. I post trip reports, respond to trip reports and maybe a "where should I eat" thread. I post very little elsewhere because I don't have time, don't spend much time on the internet and just post in "roadfood relevant" topics" . Unfortunately I strongly suspect that the op is a spammer, even more unfortunate when I see a post like this I'm right 99 9/10% of the time.

Not that I disagree totally ... but,

Please consider the reception this very recent first-time poster received: http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/East-Coast-Trip-m722603.aspx .

(BTW: My beloved Mrs. Metro is a non-native English speaker and, even though she has a graduate degree from Georgetown, recognizes that her written English is weak and has a sense of humor about it! The same is true about a former Mrs.; I once cringed through a speech she gave in which she constantly used the word "focus" and pronounced it as ... I'll leave that to your imagination).

Introspectively reviewing my four posts above I believe that three are positive/ helpful/ informative and one made a humorous reference to a Jack Nicholson movie.

My looking into the (remembered from my Pittsburgh youth) wonderful line of Marzetti dressings has for the second time in a month led me to Kroger's.

Back in the 1950's, as The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company lost their mojo, Kroger's became our "go-to" grocery in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh. When I moved to Virginia they had a little presence in the Shenandoah Valley, but none in NOVA where I lived for nearly 30 years. After Wegman's entered that market they earned nearly 100% of our non-convenience grocery business away from Giant and Safeway.

So, when we moved to Dallas 7 years ago they, even though they have a stong presence in this market we gravited to Central Market (Wegman's-like), Market Street (Wegman's lite), and Whole Foods.

Recently I entered a Kroger's after I heard on the radio that they sold canned Skyline Chili (it was great, but Mrs. Metro pooped the party by reading the sodium content on the back of the can ).

Now that I know that they stock Marzetti's I'm going to take some time and tour their new (Wegman-sized, 100,000+ s.f.) "Marketplace" store that opened a year or so ago near my home here in McKinney.

We used to ship bottles of it to Daughter No. 1 when she lived in Connecticut because she loved it so. Then one day, while visiting her, we were in a Stop and Shop in Old Saybrook and found it on the shelves there.

That's OK. We used to buy jars of Fluff whenever we were back in Connecticut until one day we happened to spot it in a supermarket right here.

Marzetti makes a great bottled cole slaw dressing.

The (Todd Wilbur)Top Secret KFC cole slaw recipe works well on a sandwich. It's not a very "juicy" cole slaw that drips. Drips are further avoided by the addition of buttermilk powder.
