If you are ever in the Pittsburgh area a place you should plan on going is Primanti Bros
They have all kinds of sandwich goodness and they love to pile fresh cut fries on top.
Why do they put fries on their sandwiches?
Here is what it says at the Primanti Bros website:
Just how did fries end up on the sandwich?
According to Joe’s cousin John DiPriter: "One winter, a fella drove in with a load of potatoes. He brought a few of 'em over to the restaurant to see if they were frozen. I fried the potatoes on our grill and they looked pretty good. A few of our customers asked for them, so I put the potatoes on their sandwiches.” Simple!
The restauraunt in the downtown strip area is in my opinion the best. It is more historic and has a panache that the others do not.
Have you been before? Please comment and tell me what you thought. Thanks!!
