Being a fan can be the kind of hard work that builds an appetite. That’s why Buffalo Rumblings brings you a recipe every week to pair with the Buffalo Bills’ upcoming opponent, featuring a custom wing sauce to make it more “Buffalo.” Our opponent this week: the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Two separate Rumblers cited the Primanti Bros sandwich, known for being loaded up with french fries and coleslaw. Intrigued by the suggestion from eagercolin and SgtR007 the big question is how to work a sandwich and make it intriguing. Naturally, take the most boring part, the coleslaw, and Buffalo the hell out of that ****.

Primanti-style sandwich
To use the coleslaw for a Primanti-style sandwich, it’s as easy as picking your favorite bread, meat and cheese. Add french fries then coleslaw to top it off and you’re good to go. If you wanna go the extra mile, you can grill the meat/cheese or the entire sandwich like a grilled cheese.
Wingin’ It Tips
*This is a great time to break out a cheese grater. Watch your fingers.
**I used mango/peach V8 Splash, so not precisely juice, but juice related. You could go with lemon or other citrus to amplify the acidity. Apple would pair well with the cider vinegar. There’s always the option of deciding based off of “what’s in the fridge.”
