Rico gets a taste of home from Pittsburgh’s Primanti’s

America’s been noshing it’s way through a sandwich renaissance – with grilled-cheese cropping up on luxe menus, chefs reinventing fish sandwiches, etc. Now, Pittsburgh’s signature sandwich – Primanti’s – is making the rounds; restaurants and food trucks from SF to Brooklyn to LA have started serving the peculiar meat/fries/slaw sandwich.

Native Pittsburgher Rico visits the original Primanti Bros. restaurant to learn why their concoction remains inimitable.
