7 Sandwiches Almost as Crazy as Charlie Sheen

Big thanks to my buddy Jeff for the heads up on this great article. Check out for 7 positively maniacal sandwiches to be found around the country. Sadly, the closest one to me is all the way down in Arizona. The good news is this gives me another great excuse to make an Arizona Spring Break Trip. Anyway, enjoy the read (courtesy of The Bites on Today blog):

Sandwich Pilgrimages Vol. 1: Primanti Brothers - Pittsburgh, PA

Alright, I've decided to start a new feature on the old SSTF blog: Sandwich Pilgrimages. Up until now, all my posts have consisted of reviews of various sandwiches I've consumed at different places. In the Sandwich Pilgrimages feature, I will spotlight a famous/historic/legendary sandwich establishment that I have yet to visit; a place that I've read about or seen a feature on that looks so incredible that a sandwich-enthusiast such as myself simply must make a voyage to and experience at some point. The first such place I've selected is Primanti Brothers, a sandwich-making institution in Pittsburgh, PA. I first saw this place on an old TV special that counted down the Top 10 places in the US to get a sandwich. I don't remember where Primanti Brothers placed, I just remember being awed at the sight of the beautiful monstrosities they create there. Here is a more recent clip where Adam Richman pays a visit on his show Man V. Food:



If you don't have time to watch the clip, the summary is this: Primanti Brothers takes the meat of your choice, piles it on some fresh Italian bread that looks soft and heavenly, adds some cheese and then a heaping handful of french fries and some coleslaw for good measure. That's right: sandwich + fries. That is a formula for success and I hope to someday test is out for myself.
