Originally called the Primanti Brothers Sandwich,.. this is our Aussy version.:
Anyone who has spent time in Pittsburgh probably has heard of Primanti Bros. The historic sandwich shop has been making its trademark fried-potatoes-and-coleslaw-topped sandwich since 1933.
Why a "Pittsburgh style Sandwich"? Its quite interesting how far away from home you have to get to realize what you represent to the people around you. Matt and I are Americans, Pennsylvanians, brought up in the country so a little homegrown. Its an odd thing actually. So in praying about how to do a fundraiser.. We asked 'what do we have to give?' We were reminded of what we already bring.. "Why start over when we are already standing on the shoulders of those that have come before us. "- Buck McGirr, speaking last Friday on 'honor' in exchange of 'pride filled independence'.
SO- Fun food will hopefully honor those that we are serving, and represent the ol'school tastes of the state we are from. Its a risk.. but its a risk from our hearts... hopefully our 'good intentions' will turn out to be more than just that -good intentions.
