National French Fry Day: 11 ways Pittsburghers eat their fries

It’s National French Fry Day and it’s the perfect holiday for Pittsburghers!

Why? Because we love to eat fries with everything.

To celebrate all of the ways you can dunk them and eat them, we’ve created a list of 11 french fry combos featured in the Steel City:
