Devin Bush, the Steelers first-round draft pick, got to know Pittsburgh and one of its iconic sandwiches with a stop at Primanti’s.
Bush made his way to the original Strip District location on Saturday. He arrived in Pittsburgh on Friday to meet with the team and check out the city.
Primanti’s posted a photo of his visit to Facebook with the message, “You were our first pick. We’re glad we were yours. #WelcomeHome #HereWeGo”
They also welcomed him with a funny note on Twitter, “So here’s the deal, @_Dbush11 – the slaw stays on the sandwich. #WelcomeHome #HereWeGo”

Bush responded on twitter with the messge, “First and best sandwich as a Yinzer”
Primanti’s invited him to stop by after Bush was selected by the team on Thursday:
Welcome to Pittsburgh @_Dbush11, we’ll be happy to give you a lesson on what it means to represent da Burgh. #StopBySoon ??

After Bush was picked, Chase Winovich, a Michigan defensive end who was also waiting to be drafted, welcomed Bush to Pittsburgh in a tweet and called on Primanti’s to set him up. Winovich, who grew up in Jefferson Hills, was drafted in the third round by the New England Patriots. Many fans hoped he would land with the Steelers.
Welcome to Pittsburgh!!! @_Dbush11 Take care of my guy would yah @primantibros

Primanti’s also tweeted a photo of Winovich with a congratulatory note.

By the way, Bush went with the Almost Famous sandwich, which has grilled meat, melted cheese, coleslaw and, of course, French fries.
