Primanti Bros. Style Sandwich
Source: Kate Hopkins on Accidental Hedonist - favorite Pittsburgh Recipes
Anytime you talk about food from Pittsburgh with a native Pittsburgher (Mmmm... Pittsburgher), inevitably we natives will bring up the wonderful sandwiches from Primanti Brothers. We're annoying like that.
The sandwich is a carb lovers dream, with big thick slices of bread, topped with french fries. There's also cole slaw and then slices of deli meat. Don't you judge me!
This is a classic sandwich and should be tried at least once in anyone's life.
My own version uses a demi-baguette instead of thick slices of white bread. I also use cappiocola which is technically not on Primanti Bros. City menu, but can be found on their Suburban menu.
2 thick slices of Italian Bread
1/2 lb of your favorite Deli Cuts, sliced (in my case - cappocola)
4 oz. French Fries, direct from the Fryer
1/2 cup cole slaw
Make your french fries as per your favorite recipe.
While the potatoes are frying, place slices of deli meat on the bottom half of the bread.
scoop 1/4 of the cole slaw into the bread and spread over the top half of the sandwich.
When the fries are done, place them on a paper towel to allow excess grease to drain. Salt. Place fries on sandwich and top with remaining cole slaw. Slice sandwich in half and serve.
