Pittsburgh Salad

What is a Pittsburgh Salad ??

It starts like any other salad... with your choice of greens, tomatoes, maybe cucumbers or green pepper.  You could add chopped hard -boiled eggs, cheese, black olives and whatever else you like in your salad.

But if you want it to be a Pittsburgh Salad, You need to add fries! Yes, I said fries. Just put a big handful of prepared french fries right on top of that salad and you're in salad heaven! Then add your choice of warm chicken or steak strips and plenty of shredded cheese that will melt into a gooey, yummy mess that will make you taste buds stand up and take notice.

Serve the dressing on the side, Ranch or a nice vinaigrette, because you just might want to dip some of those fries! Several restaurants in Pittsburgh have this salad on their menu and the all compete to have the best one. One that comes to mind, adds mushrooms and grilled onions. 

We also have a Pittsburgh Sandwich. 

A local chain restaurant, that started as a food cart downtown in 1933, created this sandwich and people line up to get them.

Your choice of grilled meat, (a burger, ham, or roast beef etc.) melted provolone, french fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes all piled high on fresh Italian bread. A fried egg is optional.  

I kid you not, we really eat these here! You might need to ask for a knife and fork because they can get messy. Try making your own. I promise you'll like it.
