The Pittsburgh salad · Pittsburgh

A regional habit more than a recipe: a salad topped with a pile of French fries, plus grilled meat and cheese. The city's love of fries on everything, plated as a main-course salad.

The Pittsburgh salad grew out of the same fries-on-everything instinct that produced the Primanti sandwich. Diners and bars across the city pile hot French fries on a chef-style salad of lettuce, tomato, cheese and grilled chicken or steak. There is no single inventor; it is a regional convention that visitors notice immediately and locals take for granted. It appears on menus from neighbourhood diners to bar kitchens citywide.
