A Pittsburgh Staple. And apparently not just for tourists.\n\nI have been to Pittsburgh a few dozen times. and almost every time, a stop at the original Primanti's on 18th St in the Strip District is a must.\n\nSeeing how the reviews and pics have piled up here I feel I might be a bit redundant to say how awesome it is. A one of a kind experience and sandwich goes without saying. So let me talk about the personalities there for a quick minute.\n\nThe sandwiches as you see in the pics come on a piece of waxpaper. That's it. No utensils, no plates, just a squeeze bottle of ketchup and a piece of waxpaper. So needless to say with the massiveness of these beasts, a mess is inevitable A quick look at the napkin holder to grab as many as you can before anyone else at your table does, only to realize it's empty. \"Miss, our napkin thing is empty, can we get some more?\" .... In a monotone voice, & an obviously not so thrilled manner, she replies \"They get filled once a day, before we open. If they are empty, they are empty.\" And then walks away as if we weren't even there. \n\nAll we had to do was steal some from another table, but still, pretty funny.\n\nAnother time a small, clearly Italian man tosses our sandwiches at us, toothpick hanging out of his mouth, he says \"there yas go.\" Now I know \"yas\" is a NY thing, and \"yinz\" is the Pittsburgh thing, but this was definitely a \"yas\". \n\n\"Excuse me sir, can we get a couple of forks?\"\n\nIn his best Chico Marx impression, he replies, \"What-cha gonna do witha fork?\" And walks away.\n\nClassic.\n\nWrap up;\n\nA must! Only gets 4/5 however, because as good as the food is, you can't help but leave there feelin pretty awful!
