Primanti Bros
Definition
Primanti Bros. is a Pittsburgh-based restaurant chain founded in 1933, famous for its oversized sandwiches stuffed with French fries, coleslaw, meat, and other toppings between thick Italian bread slices.
Originating from a Strip District food cart serving truckers, the chain's 'almost famous' sandwiches have become an iconic symbol of Pittsburgh cuisine and culture.
Examples
After a long day tailgating at Heinz Field, nothing satisfies like a Primanti Bros pastrami sandwich with fries baked right in.
My attempt at healthy eating crumbled faster than the coleslaw in a Primanti Bros corned beef special.
Primanti Bros redefined lunch for truckers back in 1933, proving that carbs belong inside other carbs.
Visiting Pittsburgh without hitting Primanti Bros is like leaving Italy without pasta – culturally negligent.
