I tried one while in Pittsburgh a couple years ago and was surprised at how much I disliked it. There were a couple slices of meat on white bread topped with a pile of some of the worst fries I've ever had and cole slaw. I know it's a local institution, but yuck.

I think that if the appeal was universal, there'd be a lot more places doing them nationwide. For me, it's telling that when I revisit the 'Burgh I don't search them out. I neither look for them nor avoid them. Tom Fri Dec 17 12:14:30 -0800 2004 981255 0 Mosca
