Primanti Brothers - Pittsburgh, PA
5-½-inch tall sandwiches - Assuming you can fit a Primanti Brothers sandwich between your hands, it may still be impossible to wedge one between your teeth. At 5-½ inches tall, its an entire meal between two thick slices of Italian bread. You've got a layer of tomato slices and a half-pound of meat plus a fried egg, a large order of hand-cut fries and a mound of sweet-and-sour coleslaw top off this truly outrageous sandwich. The story begins during the depths of the Great Depression when three Italian immigrants decided to try selling lunch in Pittsburgh's Ship District. They opened up a tiny, no-frills restaurant near the docks without even purchasing plates and silverware. When the dockworkers began to file in on that first night, the brothers piled entire orders - including side items - between two thick slices of bread. The improvised meal allowed each worker to hold an entire feast in one hand while working with the other or so the story goes.
