Attn: Pittsburghers- the "O" is for sale!
 

I can't find the link, but I read about it yesterday.

The owner is selling the O, but will retain the trademarks and all that.

what is the "O" ? :(

The Original Hot Dog Shop, also known as the Dirty O. The best fries ever, huge portions- they've been on the Food Network and all that. Good hotdogs too. It's very much a Pittsburgh institution. Located right by Pitt (Pitt may own the building, i'm not sure?).

oh tight! If I ever go to Pittsburgh I'll be sure to go there then






at first i thought the "O" was some tire place. meh

You can go after a Clarks concert. Lol. It's open until like 4 am or something.

LOL - I met my college sweetie there - your standard "cute meet"! A year later, he ended up living up above it. Pitt didn't own it then, but may by now. I think the university owns anything in Oakland after X amount of years!!

Bobby, their hot dogs & sausages are really good, but their french fries!!!!! Some people mistakenly order a large french fry, not knowing that a large is the whole freakin' fry basket!!!

Suddenly I'm in the mood for a hot dog...

O fries with cheese... mmmm...

I'm ready to call an emergency Pittsburgh GCer meetup, and we're going to the O!

PAGING TRACY- when are you going to be in town???????

who is Tracy :(

I think 33 = Sheila.

You = Dani

KillarnyRose = either Killarny or Rose

HoneyChile = Jessica Rabbit

am I wrong or wrong?

Lol, Tracy = KillarneyRose

Jessica Rabbit?! I like that!!

How did you know that I collect bunnies?

:eek: . . .

BobbyThe Don leaves thread

One of my sisters lived in that apartment one year! She had it decorated with lawn furniture and Christmas lights.

I want to buy the O so that I can assure it will be there when our children and grandchildren get the drunk munchies and need a chicken parm at 1 am.

Dani, I won't be in Pittsburgh until spring but I definitely think an O pilgrimage will be in order :)

Are O fries fresh cut or poured out of a bag?


I'm going to guess fresh cut.

The fries are fresh cut, and KR, we DEFINITELY need a Dirty O run!! Just name the date!

Oh man, many a great night I have had at the O. After shows at Laga (now theyre making into lofts)...I also used to hang out at "the wall" (right in front of Pitt Law/across from the O) all the time. I cant believe that the O is closing, man those fries ruled.
