Should I go to Primanti's? (Lunch)

Is that the place that sticks the french fries inside the sammich?


If so by all means, yes.

Except for the french fries part. I'm trying to wrap my head around that one. On the side, fine. On top...I ain't so sure about that one. Are you English, by chance? ???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_butty

A chip sandwich, chip butty, (in British English) or french fry sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich made with bread (usually white and buttered) and chips (french fries), often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce (i.e. ketchup) or brown sauce. [1] It was originally considered a working-class meal, served in pubs. The chip butty is a vegetarian-friendly, albeit junkfood, dish and has recently made a comeback. It is more common in the north of England.

A football chant (sung to Annie's Song by John Denver) called "The Greasy Chip Butty Song" is popular with the supporters of Sheffield United Football Club.

My wife's sis used to work at Primanti's. She'd often bring me a sammich when she came over. She was here the other day, but that was the day I was off work sick as a dog. She said she was gonna bring me one (even though she doesnt work there anymore) but knew I probably wouldnt be interested.

You know, my wife ought to have her over more often. :embarrassed:

You've clearly never been to Pittsburgh.biggrin This is an old tradition here. Primanti's is as Pittsburgh as Iron City and the Steelers.
