I don't fault you for that, I just grew up with the whip, my mom put it on everything and I wasn't raised to know better. there was an argument a few years back at work in the break room over mayo, and I walked right back out when I heard it get serious, "it's all fun and games until someone insults another man's condiment" was all I could think.

I don't hate mayo the way contemporary snobbish foodies do. I don't mind Miracle Whip either. I tend to be more of a ham-and-turkey sandwich type of guy because I'm usually slapping something together to chow down very quickly and wouldn't want to buy all of that if I couldn't enjoy it. But I love sandwiches. And I have no issue w/ mayo on my sandwiches.
I have recently become addicted to La Bomba (spicy Italian pepper spread), the stuff is fantastic on sandwiches and just about anything else. Try it - you will thank me...
This is a famous Primanti Bros sandwich from Pittsburgh. They all come with vinegar based slaw and fries on them. This one looks like a capocollo and cheese with an egg.
I disagree with whoever disagreed with the previous bump...
Edit: btw, @Base15, that sammich looks amazing. I can't find anything half that promising down here in GA. The closest I can get to a decent deli sandwich (of any kind) is Momma Goldberg's. That is meh, with a little extra meh, and a heaping side of meh.
To be fair, though, the motto here seems to be "You c'n deep-fry ennythin'".
@CanadaCubs Sounds awful. Reminds me of any pizza at Cici's, because even with toppings on it, it's just as terrible... awesome back when I was in high school and broke though!
Somebody loves the pickles, eh? Where in the world is @midgetmullet nowadays, anyhow? He was the first one to give me a snarky comment on the forums, and now he's all but disappeared 🤔🧐

I find Primanti's to be one of the most overrated food experiences known to man. The novelty is great, sure, and it's definitely a big part of the culture here (natives memorize the location of the original Primanti's on the South Side because those visiting invariably will ask to go to the place that puts the fries in the sandwich. Only go to the original one).
It's fast food, really nothing more than like a Bob Evans with a bar and a more unique menu. But the ingredients, the bread in particular, are astonishingly low in quality. You can see it in the pic even. It's not even that you just don't want fries in the sandwich, it's that you don't want THEIR fries at all. It's like farmers put their worst potatoes on a truck and shipped them to Wendy's's people to cut. Wendy's took the ones that met their standard, then shipped the rest to Primanti's.
I'm really not even remotely close to being a food snob, but I won't Primanti's sandwiches. It doesn't help that I hate cole slaw (I just ask them to hold the slaw, so it's not like I eat it).
I work for a pittsburgh based company but live in Columbus and I have to hear about Primanti brothers on the regular. Good to hear somebody bring them down.
Now if were talking Out of state Deli's that are amazing, Butler Missouri features an amish deli by the name of Koehn's Bakery and their sandwiches are, nothing short of Spectacular, further east into St. Louis is Moms Deli, and they have a Salami Sandwich which is Life Affirming. But for my money and its a hefty meal both Financially and Stomachly (new word) has to be The Carnegie Deli (New York and Las Vegas) Because Meat... and then the Combo Sammie Ran Across these bad boys when I was Cleaning out my Phone Last Weekend. These were 2 full days worth of meals.
BTW share them with 2 or more people, I was here when I was "fat" matt and had no business eating on both of them.

@Cooz19 I don’t disagree. The story of why they exist is better than than the actual sandwich. They are very good at 2:00 AM after the bars tho - just like O fries. Lol. I’ve not been in that condition near a Primantis in about 20 years.

An expert, I am not...
And that is a good question. I have seen neither midget, nor mullet, in quite some time.
