4:00 p.m. Friday (Miles Driven: 562) -- After spending some time in my hometown of Sharon, Pa., I decided to head down the Pa. border to the home of all my favorite sports teams, the Steel City of Pittsburgh, Pa. -- partly to see family, but mainly to eat my favorite delicacy that you just can't get in Connecticut.
Primanti Brothers restaurant in Pittsburgh is the home of a unique sandwich that smashes french fries and cole slaw on top of a wide array of meat or fish between big sourdough slices of bread. It's one of the best steak sandwiches you'll ever eat ... and it's even better with kielbasa. Yum to the 100th power!
Took a drive on the south side of Pittsburgh, and went past the Duquesne Incline (pronounced 'Du-KANE'), which goes up and down the side of Mount Washington, giving you a beautiful view of the "confluence" of the city's Three Rivers (Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio). It was the way workers got from their homes on top of the mountain to the shoreline quickly, and is over 100 years old.
I'm heading home back to Sharon for the overnight, then off to Cleveland on Saturday. For more about Day 1 of my trip, visit my previous blog entry. And be on WWE Fan Nation this Sunday night for our big SummerSlam Live Blog!
