Hey, yinzers! Three cheers for just how unique we – and our beloved Burgh – are! Newcomers and visitors to the city often experience a bit of culture shock. After all, we’ve got our own language of Pittsburghese, stop before driving through tunnels, and eat some really, well, different food combinations. Here are six strange food combinations from Pittsburgh; what others would you add to the list?

1. Sandwich with fries and coleslaw

2. The Pittsburgh Salad

Fries are a big deal in the Burgh, wouldn't you say? We've got the Primanti Brothers sandwich, and Pittsburghers love a good helping of Potato Patch fries. And, of course, there's the Pittsburgh salad. A delightfully delicious salad topped with - what else? - French fries.
3. Pierogi pizza

Pittsburghers are all about the pierogi. After all, how many other cities do you know that cheer on pieorgis as they race around a baseball field? Pair that love of pieorgies with passion for pizza, and what do you get? Pierogi pizza, of course.
