Primanti Bros.’ “Pittsburgher Cheese Steak”
On February 26th, 2011, the web address http://www.pennwich.wordpress.com became unavailable. I’ve been writing PittWich for one year, encompassing 30 different sandwiches spread across the Pittsburgh area (with a few stops on the eastern PA counterpart), and have demonstrated significant restraint

Chicken Latino’s “Lechón Sandwich”
Chicken Latino, a restaurant I’ve mentioned earlier on this blog, is one of the best places to find authentic Latin American food. Known for their Peruvian cuisine, literally anything and everything you order there will make your taste buds explode

Point Brugge’s “Cafe Chicken”
In one of my earlier posts, I referenced a theoretical “Favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh” list that, if obligatory, would be a difficult list to compose. I included the venerable Chicken Latino, and now I have another one to tell you

Pizza Bellino’s “Supreme Pesto Chicken Hoagie”
Everybody has a restaurant that they wish they could rename to more accurately reflect what they personally get out of the establishment, and I’ve found mine: it’s a great little do-everything hole in the wall on Forbes Avenue in Squirrel

Burgh’s “Curtiss”
My uncle has always had a soft spot for this place called Burgh’s Pizza & Wing Pub over in Bridgeville, so I thought a lunch trip out to the great Burgh’s would be a good idea.. Their wings and pizzas

Piccolo Forno’s “Focaccina Cruda”
Preface to this post: I’d like to apologize for the nearly month-long gap between PittWich posts! That little thing called life caught up with me; being a senior in high school carries baggage in the forms of classes, college applications,

Carson Street Deli’s “Donnie Brasco”
A while back I hit up the Carson Street Deli for their “Cheesy Beefy”, a delicious sandwich that takes the concept of a cheesesteak-style ‘wich to an entirely new place. Needless to say, I was quite a fan, and wrote

Vento’s “Italian Army”
The legendary Vento’s Pizza over in East Liberty has a highly storied background. The small, family-run Italian eatery was nearly closed down due to corporate construction some years back; thankfully, the Ventos and Home Depot came to a resolution, extending

Uncle Sam’s “Buffalo Chicken Sub”
One of my favorite foodstuffs in the entire world is the chicken wing, specifically the buffalo wing. Hot sauce and chicken? A genius combination: the fuel of bars, tailgates and Super Bowl parties across the country. However, the one thing

NOLA (on the square)’s “Shrimp Po’ Boy”
If your memory serves, on my EastWich tour I stopped at a place in Philly called Beck’s Cajun Cafe and had the “Trainwreck Po’ Boy” for lunch. (Three links in one sentence? Am I selling out?!) It was a fantastic

The Pretzel Shop’s “Hot Sausage Pretzel Sandwich”
Well, I’m back from that beautiful place called Camp Kon-O-Kwee. It really is a shame; Deer Valley is easily one of my five favorite places on Earth. Luckily for you, though, so is Pittsburgh. Especially when I can eat sandwiches.

Beck’s Cajun Cafe’s “Trainwreck Po’ Boy”
If you hadn’t noticed from every one of my previous posts, I’m not exactly a vegetarian. In fact, I’m nearly a meat-atarian. I have nothing against vegetarians… I just like my sandwiches to have a little more substance than just

Uncle Bill’s Pancake House’s “Taylor Pork Roll Sandwich”
On the third installment of EastWich, we’re going to tackle a part of Pennsylvania cuisine that is unfortunately only available in the eastern half of the state. It’s called a pork roll, but you can’t just order any old pork

Cabanas’ “Shrimp Cutlet”
Seeing as this was the first sandwich I had at the beach (Cape May, NJ represent!), I was trying to think of a way to work in a joke about a sand-wich. (Get it? Sand because I’m on the beach?

Chef Alan’s “Grinder Panini”
And thus begins our venture eastward. My father grew up in a little suburban Philadelphia neighborhood called Wyomissing. It’s pretty homey area, a very warm community feel, and there’s a restaurant that my family always goes to with my grandparents

Buffalo Blues’ “Gobbler Impersonation Club”
