Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
On pulled pork? I'll allow slaw only if it is basic shredded cabbage and some vinegar. It adds some good texture and acid. Primanti's blows. That damn fish sandwich is an abomination. They take good ingredients and put them together and make utter crap. http://www.post-gazette.com/image/2016/02/10/2...

This is where the jersey guys come in and make fun of sandwiches. It's better than the Pittsburgh guys. Slaw and fries are a terrible thing to put on a sandwich. A new sandwich place opened up really close to my office where I've become a regular. Freshly sliced fries and several options for rolls....
