Howdy, partners. If yer fixin’ to mosey into Primanti Bros. to watch Monday Night Football, management kindly asks y’all to remove your cowboy hats before ordering a Cap and Cheese.
“Listen, according to my mom, it’s bad manners to wear a hat inside,” Primanti’s spokesperson Ryan Wilkinson said in a press release. “This ban is about ensuring our restaurants remain a classy place to be. It has nothing to do with the incoming Houston Texans. Along those lines — we’re also totally cool with painted faces, black and gold Zubaz pants and hard hats. You know — pure class.”

The Steelers’ showdown with the Houston Texans starts at 8:15 p.m. (not high noon!) at Acrisure Stadium on the North Shore.
The ban, which remains in effect through the final whistle of the Wildcard match-up, includes Western-style headgear such as cattleman, pinch front, brick crown, open crown, flat brim, rolled brim and, of course, 10-gallon.
As a wide-brim-hat-wearnin’ yinzer, I’m slightly offended, but it won’t stop me from asking Stip District Manager Toni Haggerty, my Primanti Bros. soul sister, to rustle me up a sammich topped with fries and slaw.
