Yeah but like the Philly cheese steak is super delicious, soooooo.

Yes it's good but ever had a Primantis?? And there are way more options for that sandwich!

I’m sure someone in Western Maryland is complaining about crab cakes.

Let’s all have some boilo and not worry about what some person from NJ thinks about PA.

What’s good in Pittsburgh, a fucking grinder? Nah

All “Best of” lists are complete BS. Totally subjective. It’s lazy content because no list author is actually putting in the number of hours it would take to suss out the “best.” Also, many such lists are popularity contests. Just ignore them.

A grinder? It's a fucking hoagie not your dating app

I try to lol but just once want to see a Pittsburgh establishment represented!

Don’t yooz call hoagies grinders in P’burg? My brother lives in Trafford and that’s what he calls them.

Holy shit, I made some last year. It was so good. Pretty sure I got the recipe here.

Funny enough I grew up in Trafford/Level Green and no one I know says grinder or yooz, it's hoagie and yinz

Well I'm in the middle, 5 hours from either of you and we've got... Damn good venison. I don't wanna hear about any sandwich you are too lazy to sit in a tree for and then drag out of the woods. Even if it's got fries on it. ;)

I didn’t say yooz because I thought you said it. Yooz is an NEPA thing. I’m well aware that yooz use yinz.

In defense of Philly(if not lazy online list writers), Philly is the biggest city in the state so its understandable people default there. PA is one of the most regionalized states in the country so we can keep all the cultural little nooks and crannies to ourselves. One thing I sorely missed when I lived out of state, PA has a lot of great regional culture(I didn't even know how much food I grew up with was specific to South Central PA until I left).

It's so true, so many dialects and different foods. I guess that's why I get so frustrated the whole state gets lumped into one city lol

Aw gotcha, I thought grinders was like a New England thing. It's funny to compare how other people call things lol

Lumpy's Deli :)

Hell yeah, lunch and a Turners tea

Primanti's is hot garbage ...

Bro.... you're from Erie, there's nothing good to eat there.....except the Primantis 🤣

Easy solution - let's donate Philly to New York. Then these list people would have to look at the rest of the state.

Hey, who knows, maybe they shot those fries with a bow from 500 yards

It's almost 1am but how good does a venison burger and some good steak fries sound right now? And a nice cold one? Damn.

1am sounds like the perfect time to demolish a venison burger and fries, although i'd down it with a hot spiced apple cider(but maybe that's just because its snowing where I am)

Ooh, yeah. I'm settling for no food but a nice hot cup of orange spiced tea because I'm at work. Just a trace of the snow remains here. Not sure what's in store the next couple of days but it is my weekend off so they can have it.

Central PA here. With places like Altoona, Johnstown, and Williamsport, we only get on "worst" lists.

Not a "Best Of" but Guy Fieri gotch bro.

Come on, man. You can't beat the City of Brotherly Love, The City that Loves You Back, Rocky's Hometown. We have the Liberty Bell and so much more. Pittsburgh has 3 rivers...What else ya got? Oil?

🙄 Yinz-ers.

In fairness, the Primantis in Erie IS hot garbage. Nothing like the original. I was sorely disappointed.

Steelers.

I haven't had boilo since last year. I'm way overdue, lol.

Hazleton, Reading, and Chester would like a word from here in the eastern part of the state.

Honest: if that’s your biggest problem right now, you’ve got it made.

I was listening to some show on MSNBC that was talking about the uptick in tourism. The person being interviewed mentioned Pittsburgh because of the cultural attractions. The Carnegie International is running, and they mentioned the new addition to the Science Museum and some other stuff. Also the food, and didn't talk about Primanti's or sports at all.

I love him lol

We're the Steel City my man! Our sports teams are awesome (enough though the Steelers are going through a rough patch and everyone knows the Pirates suck but that's the charm, and they have a beautiful stadium) We have lots of movies filmed here cause the city is so beautiful! The inclines, the river tours, we have lots to offer thank you very much!

Yeah definitely not the same as being in town lol

It's not, are we only allowed to talk about our biggest problems now?

That's so great! I love this city 😁

Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat.

To be fair, people from Pittsburgh will argue that Sheetz is even in the same league as Wawa, so it's difficult to take anything Pitt people say seriously with asinine opinions such as that...

That is not true, Sheetz has gone so far downhill I can't even eat there anymore! I miss going to Wawa. But Getgo is a Pittsburgh area gas/food station and it is very good too! I'd rather go there than Sheetz any day.

Also why is everyone so black and white about opinions?? Can't people like both? I didn't post this to shit all over Philly just to point out Pittsburgh is also a good option! People being very sensitive..

lol easy dude, just poking fun. Don't take life so seriously, you won't make it out alive.

.... that's literally what I said to you lol

>People being very sensitive..

I was never being sensitive.

I'm sorry, I must have misinterpreted when you said people who like Sheetz have an asinine opinion lol but yeah it's not that serious was the point I was trying to make. People can like what they like, doesn't bother me at all 🙂

All good. But I do agree, there is way more to PA than just Philly. Part of the reason everything seems so skewed is that many writers, bloggers, etc. are city dwellers. It's rare to have someone produce a 'Best of PA' list to be from Bradford or Tioga counties, you know?

It's so true! Rural PA is awesome too, people need to expand their minds

I've actually made incredible steak & cheese sandwiches with thinly, bias-sliced venison steak sauteed with a little butter (or oil) and onions.

Now that the Flyers ditched Giroux, maybe have Sid "no longer" the Kid become the official face of PA hockey.

Carnegie Mellon is the best institution of higher ed in PA.

Don't @ me, PSU peeps.

To be fair most of Pennsylvania would be happy if Philly became its own state or got absorbed by New Jersey sooooo………

That sounds amazing.

Living in the greater Pittsburgh area is accepting that you'll never be the first area that anybody thinks of when your state is mentioned. Honestly, we won't be happy unless PA is split into two states along the Susquehanna--only then would we be able to step out of Philadelphia's shadow.

Well said sir 😂
