The were high school boys, originally from Cam Bay but in a
residential school in Yellowknife. They hadn't seen these girls from
their hometown since school had started the previous fall. I don't
think any of them had planned ahead to be prepared for this
spontaneous reunion.

     Title: Primanti Brothers Sandwich
Categories: Italian, American, Sandwich, Historical, Info
  Servings: 1

           grilled meat
           vinegar-based cole slaw
           tomato slices
           French fries
      2    pieces of Italian bread

The storefront of the original Primanti Bros. in the Strip District
neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Primanti Brothers
Restaurant, founded in 1934, is a chain of sandwich shops found
throughout Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and its suburbs, with an
additional two locations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its signature
items are its sandwiches, which consists of grilled meat, a vinegar
based cole slaw, tomato slices, and French fries between two pieces
of Italian bread.[1]

The Cheese Steak variant of a Primanti Bros sandwich: The sandwich
is said to have its origins in the city's steel days when blue
collar workers needed a hot meal mid-shift that would keep them full
all day long. However, the workers had neither the time nor the
utensils for such a meal. By combining the sides with the sandwich,
a Pittsburgh staple was born. Of course, the restaurant offers a
slightly humorous take on it, offering the explanation that the
Primanti brothers simply forgot the plates and forks one day.

According to the restaurant, Joe Primanti invented the sandwich
during the Great Depression. His brothers, Dick and Stanley, later
joined him along with John DePriter who was the cook. The Primantis
opened their hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Smallman Street in the
Strip District of Pittsburgh and served the late-night and
early-morning workers who were unloading fish, fruits and
vegetables.
