Not impressed? Does my Primanti Bros. / Montgomery Ribs Sandwich change your mind?
Yeah. I didn't think so.
Not that it wasn't pretty good. The bbq sauce recipe was especially drinkable. Like, pour-it-in-a-glass-and-who-needs-wine drinkable. If that is how Montgomery Inn ribs actually taste, I'm in. (By the way - a huge thanks to Elizabeth Rollins who suggested it.) My mistake was the size of the bread. I love carbs in any form, but getting the bread to meat ratio wrong in a sammie is deadly.
I've been wanting to make a Primanti Bros. sandwich all season, but I've hesitated because it seems a little lazy. Thankfully, Chuck Miller suggested it and Rob gave me a Fry Daddy for Christmas.
It's like kismet! In case you've never had one, a Primanti Bros. sandwich is meat, cole slaw, and fries smashed together on two slices of thick Italian bread (Perhaps that's what made me go overboard). So, yeah...it's just sandwich, but people seem very dedicated to it. I imagine the right slaw and the right fries make a big difference. I think the cole slaw in the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker fell a little flat - even after letting it sit for a good 3-4 hours while I watched the early games.
The fries? Um...that's another confession. I bought them frozen. But again, I had a good reason. The instruction manual for the Fry Daddy makes it sound like deep frying food is on par with performing nuclear fission. Honestly. I even made Rob cook the fries.
He hated them. Whatever. Next time I'll make him start from scratch and see how he likes that.
All in all - a decent meal despite the mistakes. Worth a try, but definitely needs some tweaks.
Except for the ribs. Don't change anything about the ribs.
