Around the World - Trying Every Sammch at Primantis.

I have set for myself a goal to go "around the world" for the Primantis menu, to try each and every sandwich.

I almost always get my favorite - Capicola and Egg, on the Heel, cut in half. That gets you into a bit of a rut, and it was high time to try something new.

First, an explanation of my key sammich.
Usually, you always see a Primanti sandwich like this:

Typical sandwich

The bread is a slice of Italian bread, piled thick. However, the reality is that the bread gets squished down rather quickly, gets a bit soggy, and simply is not enough to contain all of the goodness going on.

What most people don't realize is that for no extra charge, you can get your sandwich "on the heel", which uses the heel of the loaf, which is usually discarded. The extra crust adds a whole lot of support and enclosure for the contents of the meal, and the crust is surprisingly thin and delicious. It's a great upgrade that everyone needs to try.

On the Heel

The thing is, getting it On the Heel means it is typically served as one piece, whereas Primanti Sandwiches are typically cut in half. (Though the suburban locations are trying some thing where they don't cut it and instead hand you a knife. I don't like it.) I like having the halftime between sections of my sammich, I find it to be a good breather. So if you want the more traditional experience with a better-constructed meal, ask for it "On the heel, cut in half."

Second, the egg. You can add a fried egg to any sandwich for $.50, and it's very worth it. Egg enhances the flavor of the meats involved and adds a nice bit of savoriness that doesn't always happen on its own. It's something you should get.

I also usually like to leave off the tomato...but that's completely personal preference.

The Methodology

Every sandwich on the menu will be eaten in order of appearance. The suburban menu will be used first, based on what is in my closest location in Harmarville. I will then add in things from the Smallman Street location as I can. 

Each sandwich will be ordered On the Heel, cut in half.

The second half of the sandwich can be altered if something within Primantiism's standards can be done (like add Red Devil hot sauce to it), but the first half will be eaten as it comes.

The Ratings

All are on a 10 scale, 1 being Terrible, 10 being The Best

Taste: How appealing is the taste? How well does everything work together?
Satisfaction: Was this a joy to eat, or was it a mess? Was it filling, or was it lackluster?
Flavor: Just how strong is that flavor? This will say if something is bland or is missing something.
Enjoyable: How was it to eat? Did I have to put it back together a bunch? Alter it?
Pittsburghness: Is this a sandwich or a sammich? Can a Pittsburgher be proud of this production?
Should I get this sandwich? Yes or no, is this worth getting?

The first two are already done, I just have to write them up. Stay tuned and enjoy!
