I'll have my steak Pittsburgh rare ...
This one was passed on to me by a friend and fellow Pittsburgh expatriate. I'd always wondered where the expression "Pittsburgh rare" came from. I guess it's another one of those 'Burgh things, like red beer (putting a bit of tomato juice in your beer when you were drinking beer for breakfast after working the night shift at the mill) or boilermakers (shot of whiskey dropped in a class of beer).
