F- this guy! he doesn’t even understand real primantis

Posted by: Becky, Dec 17, 2009 01:41:09 PM

primanti sandwiches are the best period.! and so is our football and hockey teams.!

Posted by: angie b, Sep 15, 2009 07:20:59 PM

They can be made close. For the slaw, omit the red peppers, don’t "lightly toast" the celery seed and let it sit for a few hours...not a few minutes.

Trade the sourdough for Italian, gouda for provie, and use capicola, pastrami, jumbo or kielbasa for the meat (never liked the steak patty).

The fries are important, and you must use peanut oil. Don’t peel them, after slicing soak in cold water for 15 min then drain. Heat fryer to 325. Cook for 5 min to blanch. Remove and drain. Cook again at 360 to brown them.

All Primanti sammiches have sliced tomato on them, and sliced onions are good too. The hot sauce they use is Red Devil.

Here’s the order: bread, meat, cheese, egg, fries, slaw, tomato, onion, bread.

They aren’t the only ones in the area trying this:
Liberty Tavern in Arlington has a --

“Primanti Brothers” Style Sandwich, housemade pastrami, provolone, coleslaw, French fries on housemade Italian bread 9$

Add fried egg for only .50!

As a CMU alum - I’m equally skeptical but excited to try it since it’s in my hood.

As a Pitt alumni and having eaten Primanti Brothers sandwiches at the original truck stop in the Strip District back in the 70’s before it became "the Strip District," back when it really was a diner tucked on a working loading dock, I am appalled.

The article says Primanti’s uses knockwurst or capicola. Huh? The sandwiches I remember oh so well were hamburgers. They were topped with fries and cole slaw and then you doused it with Tabasco. Ah, I can taste it now. At 3 a.m., after partying all night, these sandwiches were really great. Hit the spot. The place was classic too. There was a guy named Chubby who told you where to sit and he meant it. All sorts of people showed up from truckers to guy in tuxes escorting ladies in gowns.

I am afraid, even the Primanti Brothers of today is a shell of its former self and cannot match that time and place and taste. But it will always live in my slightly fuzzy, college alcohol soaked memory.

Cheers to Primanti Bros!

Sourdough bread and gouda? I bet they even have a wine pairing for it on the menu.

Sacrilege. That is all there is to say about this.

Posted by: Laughing, Mar 04, 2009 10:07:33 AM

Just adding fries and slaw does not a classic Primanti’s sandwich make...the truckers in the Strip District would never recognize this version.

Posted by: Catherine, Mar 04, 2009 10:00:21 AM

Not sure they should even try! The ’Burgh is the only place I would get a Primanti Borthers samich!

Posted by: Lisa B, Mar 04, 2009 08:29:44 AM

This is the white-collar version of the Primanti Brothers sammich! I think Mr. Smith gives the original version its due respect, so I am looking forward to seeing what his version tastes like. It will be nice to have something similar even though it is fancier that the original.

Posted by: Yinzer, Mar 02, 2009 07:18:00 PM

Unfortunately, Primanti’s cannot be recreated. This definitely isn’t the same.

Posted by: Jesseka, Mar 02, 2009 12:44:24 PM

This is an affront to what a Primanti’s sandwich is. You don’t use gouda, and the fries go ON THE SANDWICH. I appreciate the effort, but leave this to the professionals.

Posted by: Sir Spicious, Mar 02, 2009 12:28:04 PM

I’m sure this sandwich is delicious, but I assure you that no self-respecting Primanti’s would be caught using sourdough or gouda on one of their sandwiches. That’s far too fancy for what is essentially designed to be trucker food.
