The Pittsburgh Salad: A Steel City Original That Puts Fries on Everything
Only in Pittsburgh will you find a salad topped with hot, crispy french fries — and locals wouldn’t have it any other way. The legendary Pittsburgh Salad layers crisp greens, grilled chicken or steak, melted cheddar, and creamy buttermilk ranch, then crowns the whole thing with a generous pile of fresh-fried fries. Born in the 1960s at Jerry’s Curb Service in Beaver, PA, this Steel City staple is the ultimate summer meal.
