Can Primanti Brothers win ‘Coolest Thing Made in PA’ a second time?
It’s Central Pennsylvania versus Western Pennsylvania in the March Madness-style bracket voting for “Coolest Thing Made in PA.”
Now in its second year, the PA Chamber contest pits products made across different regions in the state to determine the top product.
Pittsburgh‘s Primanti Brothers sandwich has once again made it to the final round.
It was last year’s winner over Schuylkill County’s Mrs. T’s Pierogies.
This year its competing against the Hershey-made Reese’s Peanut Butter cup.
Fans of the foods have a final opportunity to cast their votes on the PA Chamber’s X and Instagram pages beginning at Noon Wednesday. The competition has generated more than 92,000 votes since it began on March 19.
“That we find ourselves for a second straight year with two finalists in the food category proves a few things: First, that Pennsylvanians definitely vote with their stomachs; and, second, that customer loyalty to these brands is incredibly strong,” PA Chamber President and CEO Luke Bernstein said. “The fact that we’ve tripled the number of votes over last year’s contest and that last year’s champion is again in the final round is a testament to the Primanti Bros. faithful. We’re excited to see which company ultimately takes home the ‘Coolest Thing Made in PA’ title when this final round comes to an end. Good luck to the finalists!”
The championship round will begin at Noon today on X, with voting over Instagram starting at 4 p.m. Voting will close at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, and a winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
