  • The North Side Leadership Conference held a special North Side Sandwich Week competition at the Penn Brewery. Cameraman Bob Lubomski and producer Rick Sebak went to sample some of the sandwiches, and now we've put together this report celebrating ten great spots to get outstanding North Side sandwiches.

      How dare you sully Rick Sebak by comparing him to that hack Guy Fieri!

    I have always enjoyed the programming of WQED, Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood, and awesome shows like this one! Pittsburgh has contributed so much great culture to our wonderful country. America we are so fortunate to have all our citizens and thier great history from contributing all the families given to us and have made this incredible land a home of wonderful variety.

      It's definitely worth a visit. I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life but also traveled a lot. Pittsburgh has it's up's and down's like any mid sized city but it is a true melting pot of people and culture, I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.

    I literally went to the Northside sandwich festival the year after this where it was at the elks club down in Northside by Sunoco and I voted for those Penn brewery northsiders. Unbelievably great and amazing.

    Don't forget number 12 Terry Bradshaw, 14 seasons with the Steele Curtain. I'm from Philly (Philadelphia) and a big Eagles fan. Nothing out does 4 Super Bowls in 6 seasons. The pride I felt as a Pennsylvanian, the Steelers put PA on the map . I'm still waiting for a all state Super Bowl between the Curtain and the Birds. If the Birds learn to win one or keep the lead after half time maybe it will come to fruition? Go Pennsylvania!

    years ago i was an otr driver. jersey, nyc, and closeby long island places had lot's of roach coaches serving local business. and i would buy their sandwiches. i would be waiting to load or unload and the sandwiches were large. filled with great meat and condiments but almost always served on a hard portuguese buns. the fillings were great the buns were outstanding and they were way beyond affordable. nowhere else in the country seems to have those delicious buns, if anyone has a recipe i would be more than interested!!!!!!!!!

    My friend Terry and I would take road trips to Pepi's and pick up a half dozen subs at a time. The meatball and provolone might be the best I ever had plus the chicken parm and the ham and cheese was insane smothered in veggies.

    I thought I'd go with my wife and daughter this year but with every good thing, it's all about the money. Now it's $35/person and beer cost extra. I've lived here for almost 2 years and migrated them LEGALLY into the US. I know this video was several years ago but I'm not paying $105 for bite sized sandwiches! Drinks prob another $10 each

    • @Howiesgirl
      @Howiesgirl 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Things in food service were like that back then. I worked in restaurants for many years, in several restaurants & married a highly trained chef who worked at a top resort in Orlando, FLA, & never saw a glove & neither did he. But I can assure you that a LOT of hand washing went on. It's just the way it was. No one but actual surgeons wore gloves in hospitals either. I can remember when HIV/AIDS first hit- it was so odd to see the phlebotomists at the lab putting on gloves before drawing people's blood. Now all that is just standard procedure. Yeah, that makes me kinda old... I'm 55.

      I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and never ate there once. I moved away in the early 90’s. In the early 2000s, I saw it on one of the Food Network shows so I decided to try it. Not impressed at all. I don’t get the hype.
