Primanti Bros. - Pittsburgh, PA

Date of dining experience: October 21, 2017

Place: Primanti Bros.

Location: 6 Anchor Dr. in Pittsburgh, PA

Meal: Original Pitts-Burger ($7.39) - Grilled meat, melted provolone cheese, sweet-and-sour coleslaw, fresh-cut fries, ripe tomatoes, and their house recipe Italian bread. All of that combined to make one very delicious sandwich. To top it all off, this is the absolute best coleslaw I have ever tried in my life. The Pitts-Burger is a tradition at Primanti Bros. You can't go there and not try it. Go get yourself one right now!

Drink: Regular coffee - Just because I felt like it. Don't judge!

This is a great place for a quick lunch or a full meal with friends. I will definitely be returning. Try it out and let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Nick's English Hut - Bloomington, IN

Date of dining experience: October 11, 2017

Place: Nick's English Hut

Location: 423 E. Kirkwood Ave. in Bloomington, IN

Appetizer: Sink the Biz Fries ($10.95) - A bucket of fries tossed in Romano and Nick's spices with their famous garlic mayonnaise for dipping. The fries were amazing! Definitely a "must" if you ever find yourself here!

All-in-all, this place is pretty iconic in the Indiana University culture. It's worth a stop if you ever find yourself in the area. Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
