Quarterback Russell Wilson has only made one start for the Steelers so far, but he already has his own Primanti Bros. sandwich.

The DangeRuss Sandwich is an homage to The Dangerwich, a short-lived promotion launched in Denver when No. 3 was helming the Broncos. It features pepperoni, salami, ham, bacon, Provolone cheese and, of course, the chain’s signature fries, slaw and tomato.

For every DangeRuss sold during Wilson’s tenure as Pittsburgh’s QB, Primanti Bros. will donate $1 to the UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The sandwich is available at all Primanti Bros. locations.

“A big win changes the entire city’s attitude on a Monday,” says Jim Prezioso, director of beverage and off-premise marketing for Primanti Bros. “And we think this sandwich might just help carry us through the weekend.”
