It all started during the Great Depression - with Joe Primanti operating a small sandwich cart in Pittsburgh's now-historic Strip District, an area that even in 1933 was a bustling hub of activity. Strong sales allowed Joe to open a storefront that year - feeding hungry truck drivers and shift workers at all hours of the day.
The story might be half hazy memory, half lore - but it's all true. According to Joe's cousin John DiPriter: "One winter someone drove up with a load of potatoes. He brought them over to the restaurant to see if they were frozen. I fried the potatoes on our grill, and they looked pretty good. A few customers asked for them - so I tossed them on the sandwich." The sandwich was an instant hit - allowing all the drivers working near the restaurant to eat with one hand - and drive their truck with the other. And as time rolled forward, Primanti Bros. grew in Pittsburgh – becoming as tied to the city as the colors of black and gold. Today – the restaurant has grown to spread the good word of French fry and slaw-covered sandwiches across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Maryland.
