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.

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?).

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...

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

Alpha Sig Scott · #13 12-02-2005, 02:17 PM

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

I'm going to guess fresh cut.

honeychile · #14 12-02-2005, 02:28 PM

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

PhoenixAzul · #15 12-02-2005, 02:47 PM

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.
