We’re thinking of moving to Pittsburgh in the next 1-5 years.

Best wishes, and have a Primanti Brothers Black Angus Garbage Sandwich to celebrate your new life!

Some unique branding there.

They are.  Welcome to Pittsburgh.  They also put fries on salads.  And wash it down with awful Iron City beer.

I guess Pittsburgh is aiming to be the heart attack capital of the US?

Hold the fries or else I walk. Sorry.

Yeah, I actually used to pull them off the sandwich and eat them on the side.  I do the same thing with pickles.

And largely succeeding.  UPMC Presbyterian (in the Oakland section, where Pitt and Carnegie-Mellon are) has 900 beds and sees 360,000 inpatient/observation cases each year.  I think that is very close to where Rooster and wife are living if I recall.

Fries are not juicy. Why would anybody put them on an otherwise juicy sandwich? That's a Burger King stunt:

Gyros classic but chips or cooked potato in any form of sandwich just works.

Haven't seen that here, and we have an abundance of Greek/Mediterranean places here. As a side dish, maybe...

Discovered yesterday at breakfast (on a handbill posted in a diner right in our neighborhood), that this probably/presumably amazing group is playing here on Sunday night (3/1) at a coffeehouse less than a 15 minute walk from our new digs…

http://joefonda.com/eastern-boundary-quartet.html

> The EASTERN BOUNDARY Quartet is a collaborative quartet featuring the Hungarian master musicians drummer Balazs Bagyi and saxophonist Mihaly Borbely and the long-standing bass/piano partnership of New York City bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens (co-leaders of the Fonda/Stevens Group).

further in their band bio:

> This unique collaboration is a mixture of avant-garde jazz and ethno music from Hungary, like a cultural bridge between the USA and Eastern-Europe.

Needless to say I’m def going!
