Pittsburgh sure does know how to make a scrumptious sandwich, doesn’t it? And, we, Pittsburghers, have our fair share of spots that serve sandwiches so big and so delicious that we might end up with leftovers.

(Your stomach will certainly thank you for it.)
Go hungry - really, really hungry - to Triangle Bar & Grill, which serves massive subs. Now, you just have to decide which sandwich to order. The two-foot long, Battleship, for example, comes topped with a pound of meat and cheese combined as well as all of your favorite toppings. If that still doesn't sound big enough, go for the Super Battleship, which boasts two pounds of meat and cheese.
