Chipped ham barbecue · Pittsburgh
Wafer-thin chipped chopped ham simmered in a sweet tomato barbecue sauce and piled on a soft bun. A Pittsburgh deli-meat tradition rooted in Isaly's chipped ham.
Isaly's, the western Pennsylvania dairy and deli chain, gave Pittsburgh chipped chopped ham, a pressed ham shaved into wafer-thin ribbons. Home cooks and church kitchens simmered the chipped ham in a sweet ketchup-and-brown-sugar barbecue sauce and served it on soft buns, a cheap crowd-feeder known as a ham barbecue or a 'gob' sandwich. It remains a nostalgic Pittsburgh staple at home gatherings, picnics and old-school counters.
