Pittsburgh's Most Famous Sandwiches
Our most amusing discovery since moving to Pittsburgh has got to be Primanti Bros.- where they serve this...
Itsn't it amazing? Isn't it glorious? Now I'm not a huge eater, nor am I a 'bigger is better' person when it comes to food, but these sandwiches are surprisingly delicious. The menu boasts pretty much any traditional sandwich you can think of- all of which are then slathered with fries and coleslaw, creating a whole meal in one single sandwich. I'm not even that big of a coleslaw fan, but I really enjoyed these! The lore behind them is quite interesting too. Apparently the original Primanit Bros. (est. in the 1930's) was frequented by truckers, who needed a 'meal to go' that could be eaten in one hand. And thus, the Primanti Bros. Sandwich was born!
Ironically of course, the delicious goodness falls all over the place when you eat it... so I'm not exactly sure how anyone could eat this while driving. Visit them online here, and in person if you ever come visit me!

Aren't they delicious! I have tons of friends in Pittsburgh and I love them. Cleveland has the exact same thing only its called something else...However, I'm really commenting to ask you where you got your eames rocker. You seem to be a good shopper, and I can't find anything around me, and shipping is SO expensive I haven't even tried online, but I'm obsessed with the chair. let me know thanks.
Hi Chelsea & thanks for the comment! :)
The rocker was quite a story & took some time, but was well worth it. I was in College Station at the time & had been looking online & locally for several months. I finally bit the bullet and bought a pretty scaggly looking armshell on ebay. The black upholstry was trashed, and the whole chair was a mess. It still cost me about $200 (including shipping). I discarded the base & ordered a repro rocker base for about $100. I was expecting a white armshell (under the upholstery) and was delighted when I got the chair. The photos were awful- so I had no idea that it was actually one of the chairs made with removable covers. The back was painted the Herman Miller grey & the chair did have shock mounts. Unfortunately, someone glued the upholstery down. It took about 24 hours of work with chemicals, sandpaper, and a new coat of penetrol, but a gorgeous greige chair was hiding underneath! I 'de-upholsteried' another armshell as well & while the process is very lengthy and tedious, I think it was well worth it. If you really want one (and aren't willing to pay ridiculous amounts), I'd consider looking for one you could re-hab yourself. It's not too hard & can get you a great deal in the end! :) Shoot me an email if you want any more info on what to use to strip them & all.
PS- my other eames chairs came from local craigslistings and a public surplus sale.
