Pittsburgh is somewhat famous for the Primanti Brothers restaurant sandwich which has fries and slaw piled on it. It's an ok sandwich, I mean, it's not poison, but it's nothing special. I would never, ever go out of my way to have one. In fact, the only time we eat there is when people from out of town visit and they demand - yes DEMAND - that we suffer through the experience with them.
My primary complaint comes from exactly how the sandwich is delivered to you. It's wrapped in thin paper, not even so much as a paper plate. And if you dare ask for a knife and fork, you get the flimsiest utensils that Chinese convict labor can produce. That knife aint cutting nothing, and the tines on the fork bend when you try to spear anything. Forget asking for your fries or slaw on the side. They'll laugh in your face. You end up contending with a mountain high sandwich with soggy fries and bread. Unless your a champion speed eater, the whole concoction loses integrity when you're about half way finished, falling to pieces on your now soggy and torn serving paper. It's a mess, and an embarrassment. All of the structural/serving faults could be forgiven if it was the best sandwich that you ever had, but it isn't. I can, and do, make a better sandwich at home.
My advice is: Beware. You might want to bring your own utensils and plate. Who knew you could long so much for a plate?
