I bet Big Jim's down in the Run is getting too yuppie for you these days. Move to Youngstown, already.

Long hots are great, too! And I would have called it a Sarcone's if people in PGH knew what that was.

Tootie's is great! I clicked on this thread to recommend their Italian beef. It's basically the cousin to Philly's roast pork sandwich, just swap pork for beef and broccoli rabe for giardiniera.

Tootie's also has a great slow-cooked chicken sandwich, which is probably even close to the roast pork.

Yovi's was what came to mind when you posted this thread. I've had their hot dogs (pretty good) but I'm curious about the Italian Beef.

Yovi's Italian Beef is solid. I'm sure he uses the same frozen supply that most Chicago hot dog stands use. That's not a slight.
