The sandwich made properly wold be 5 stars. Here are a few hints, some are echoes from previous reviewers. I too am from the Western PA area and have had a few Primanti Bros. sandwiches in my day, and found a recipe that is as close as I think anyone will get that whenever I have the craving I make them myself.<br/><br/>Cole Slaw is made with finely shredded green cabbage, apple cider vinegar celery seed and sugar. No Mayo here.<br/>Bread is thick sliced white Italian bread, as fresh as you can find, if needed warm in a micrwave for 16 - 20 seconds just before you put the meat on the bread.<br/>French Fries are Fried twice, 1st on Medium heat, second on High heat. allowed to cool/drip in between, while oil heats back up to the higher temp.<br/>Meat is warmed on a grill or cast iron skillet, flipped then cheese added until it melts, then place on the bread, top with coleslaw and fries, slam the top peice of bread down on top to hold it all together, wrap in butcher paper and cut in half. Enjoy your sandwich, the paper hold's it together. BTW, I omit tomato.

I am from Pittsburgh (there is an "h" on the end) & have eaten MANY Primanti's sandwiches. There is NO mayonnaise on them!!! I've never counted the slices of meat, but I'm pretty sure it's not just 5-6. One sandwich has at least 2 inches of meat in the center, when you cut the sandwich in half. One reviewer mentioned a few ingredients & he's on track, except that vegetable oil is added too. If you ever have the chance to visit Pittsburgh, you've got to go to Primanti Brothers!

I am the wife of a submariner!! My husband just finished serving on a Trident Nuclear Submarine for the past five years! We are just starting a 3 year shore duty tour and loving it. We are so happy to be a family we have four kids under the age of 8. They are the whole entire world to me!
My all time favorite cookbook would have to be the Cake mix doctor. I love to bake.
