If you visit pgh, going to Pirmanti's is a must. A sandwich just isn't a sandwich without fries and 'slaw heaped on it. I personally recommend the roast beef. It would rock if we had one in Atlanta

Let's be honest - those 'famous' sandwiches aren't very good at all. 50 years ago, they were probably cutting edge; nowadays they are throw back, dull and boring. I'm sorry I just can't get excited...
