Craving Thanksgiving food now? Here are some themed options available around Western Pa.
There’s no need to wait until next Thursday for all the Thanksgiving fixings in one meal.
Restaurants around Western Pennsylvania have been creating dishes — from sandwiches to burritos to hot dogs — with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and more.
Here’s a look at some of the options:
Primanti Bros.
The Primanturkey sandwich features turkey, gravy, stuffing, fries (doing the job of mashed potatoes) and cranberry sauce on their signature Italian bread. There’s no cole slaw on this Primanti sandwich.
Mad Mex
Mad Mex’s Gobblerito — a burrito stuffed with roasted turkey, black bean mashed potatoes, stuffing and corn, with cranberry sauce on top — has been on the menu around Thanksgiving for around 15 years.

Even though Giant Eagle sold GetGo earlier this year, that hasn’t stopped the return of The Pilgrim at the convenience store. The roast turkey sub is topped with white cheddar, gravy and cranberry sauce on a stuffing-flavored roll.

The Franksgiving Dog at D’s Six Pax n Dogz in Regent Square and Murrysville is a turkey dog slathered in mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and gravy, with cranberry sauce on the side.
