Photo TR: larrygator's road to Cedar Point - Parks and Food

[RoCoBonafide Donkey Expert]

Very entertaining and informative report; love all these eaterie recommendations. This was an excellent thread to read while eating lunch.

And if anyone really does start a petition to evict Garfield and restore The Old Mill properly, I'll sign happily. That Garfield overlay is grotesque.

For the record, I ended up gaining 2 pounds on this trip with all the food, which I have since lost.

I credit Fast Lane for keeping it at only 2 pounds. Due to Fast Lane I had a lot of spare time at the Cedar Fair parks and took a lot of quite a few laps around Kings Island and Cedar Point while not waiting on lines.

Hey man you gotta try Primanti Bros! I'm a Pittsburgh native and I've nearly always taken the cole-slaw off the sandwich, I've never been looked down upon for it. Trust me it's worth it. Cool Photo TR.

^I miss Primanti's.... especially the pastrami and egg.

Many people avoid the slaw because they think it is the same milky crap that Long John Silvers scoops up on their plates. I always try to tell people it is completely different stuff. I have heard it called Amish Slaw and Sour Slaw before, but not sure where those terms came from.

I believe it is a nice mixture of sliced cabbage, vegetable oil (non-olive), sugar, cider vinegar, salt, pepper and celery salt. More like a cabbage salad than coleslaw. I have a recipe somewhere with approximate measurements and preparations. I have come real close to making it the exact way they do.

Yeah I've left the slaw on the past few times I've had a Pittsburger, but either way I was always fine without it too. Either way something to not pass up in the Burgh.

If it is green and/or vegetable in nature I don't want in on my sandwich in any way shape or form. If it is put on my sandwich and part of it seeps into my roll I will not eat it.

Ya, they tend to pile it up and I really only ask for a light brushing of it. Goes back to the history of the sandwich in the first place. The truckers in the Strip District where on a tight schedule. Thus throw everything in one sandwich that can be eaten quick or taken on the road with them . Today, they tend to put to much on it (along with the fries) to make it what it used to be. They tend to cheapen on the meat also these days.

Awesome TR Larry. I have some of these eateries on my list now as well!

[TPDaveI know EXACTLY where my passport is!]

I don't think I had Potato patch fries last year (or at least I don't remember it!). I'll have to try if I ever end up at Kennywood again!
