They sell "all-in-one" sandwiches ($6.50-6.75) filled with your choice of grilled meat (sausage, coppa, pastrami, cheesesteak, smoked turkey), provolone, french fries, and cole slaw, inspired by Primanti Bothers in Pittsburgh, PA. I didn't have the appetite but it looked good. Flyer says the bread's from Italian French Bakery, the meats from Molinari's, and produce from Bob Sbragia. Tomorrow through 9/25, buy one, get another for a nickel. Thu Sep 16 19:06:57 -0700 2004 0 Robert Lauriston 1 138161 Does that mean it's open 24hrs, as is Primanti? Not bloody likely. My recollection from grad school days is that is was better as a hangover cure than the time I took it to the Igloo for a Sharks game. (Tryed twice in the two years I lived in the Pitt) Seems as though the Hockey season is off, so I'll try to get a hangover before the 25th and give it a try. FYI, the first thing I learned in Pittsburgh is that there are 11 Pittsburg's (without a final 'h') but only one Pittsburgh (with 'h'). The Strip lives.

French fries in a sandwich?? Yuck! But when he goaded me endlessly to take a bite, I finally gave in and.....wow, I thought it was really good!! I never eat that kind of stuff, but I have to say I took a second bite, and pretty much wanted a third. The cole slaw really adds the perfect balance. Ha!
