This is a recipe for a sandwich from a place many of you have visited during your adventures at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh. You can make them at home, too! The sandwich isn't quite as good as the original, mostly because the restauraunt ambience is missing, but it's still pretty good eating.

For 1 sandwich You'll need :
2 - 4 slices of Pastrami (Boars Head brand rules! )
2 thick slices of Italian Bread
2 slices Provolone cheese
l fresh-cut deep fried french-fries, about a handful
handful fresh made cole slaw
1 slice red ripe tomato


Begin by placing 2-3 slices of pastrami on a slice of bread. Build up the sandwich from there with 2 slices provolone, french fries, cole slaw, and tomato. Top it with another slice of bread and serve it immediately.

The real secret to making this is using fresh cut and deep-fat fried french fries and fresh made cole slaw. For the cole slaw, shred a quantity (maybe a half a head) of cabbage, add about 1 Tablespoon. white vinegar, 1 Tablespoon of veg or olive oil, a pinch of sugar, and salt & pepper to taste.
For the french fries, cut some Yukon Gold potatos into about 6-7mm square strips. You don't have to peel them first if you don't want. We have an old fashioned potato slicer which makes this a snap. Stick with Yukon Gold taters, it seems Russetts just don't fry as well. Deep-fat fry them on high heat for about 15 min until golden brown.

I like to serve the sandwich cut in half and with an extra helping of fries and Heinz ketchup (it's from Pittsburgh) and a pint of Yuengling Beer.
