I just returned from a trip to Pittsburgh, PA. I had an awesome sandwich at Primanti Bros. I ordered The Pitts-burger. It's a beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, plus French fries and cole slaw, on white bread.
According to the Primanti Bros. website (https://www.primantibros.com/story/) in the 1930's, Joe Primanti opened a cart in Pittsburgh's Strip District selling sandwiches to hungry truckers who were coming and going at all times of the night.
According to John, "One winter, a fella drove in with a load of potatoes. He brought a few of 'em over to the restaurant to see if they were frozen. I fried the potatoes on our grill and they looked pretty good. A few of our customers asked for them, so I put the potatoes on their sandwiches." The rest, as they say, is history.

Welcome to my blog!
I love to travel around the world to discover and learn about different local cultures and cuisines. When I get back home, I recreate my favorite dishes and share the food and stories of the people and places found along the way.
Here is a picture from one of my favorite trips - Greece!
