Want Fries With That?

There is a famous sandwich served in Pittsburg loaded with Italian meat, sharp Provolone cheese, homemade cole slaw and stacked with french fries.....yup, this is the Ultimate Tailgating Hoagie.  I tried to re-create this bad boy and I was pleasantly surprised with the results.  I think the final product is perfect for any tailgate.  If you are home watching the game, use frozen fries, if you are on-site you are going to need your deep fryer but it is worth it.  The addition of fries is not only fun, the added texture and salt are worth it!  Order your deli meat, sliced thin but not shaved, and if you are in a hurry pick up cole slaw pre-made.  Use the four Italian meats I choose or get creative.  I choose a poppy seed hoagie roll and toasted it lightly with a touch of butter.  The entire family adored this sandwich and we will make it again and again (no tomatoes for the picky eaters).
