Yeah, and Pittsburghian also! Anyway, when I was a kid,
eons ago, before I ever heard of slaw on bbq sandwiches
or hot dogs or Primanti sandwiches, I used to put slaw
on my hamburgers and hotdogs at family picnics. (I also
put potato salad, baked beans, potato chips and cheese
twists on them - everything that we had on the table for
the picnic all went onto the hot dog or hamburger!). After
learning about the Southern tendency to do this stuff I think
I may have gotten a gene for it from my Dad who was from
Alabama! He never did it himself, that I ever saw. As far
as I know I thought it up myself. And then there's my mother
who is from Pittsburgh so I may also have a copy of the Primanti
gene from her!
