Bobby Mancini Pittsburgh mobster article

No one really knows the exact origin of the Pittsburgh Rare, but the most common story is that the immigrant workers in the steel mills would fling a piece of meat onto a hot surface such as a furnace flue or pipe. The temperatures would be around 1800 degrees,so they could cook and eat the meat in a short amount of time. Other stories include a chef who messed up and covered by telling the patron that it was a new way of cooking, and the one about the customer who was in a hurry and told the cook to make it that way.
All good stories,but we love our steel mill heritage and legends,so it's no surprise that the first story is the one we usually tell visitors.
I'm not sure about the Pittsburgh Steak Company,but they didn't open until the 70's,and I think the Pittsburgh Rare was around before then.

youre from Pittsburgh Lou ?

Yup,born and raised. I came into the world at Ohio Valley Hospital,many years ago. (More than I want to admit to).

Grew up in Mckees Rocks. Hung out there, as well as Crafton/Ingram,Stowe,and Sheraden areas.
Real shame how a lot of the area has gone down the tubes since I was a pup.

Yeah I went to wilkinsburgh the other day to see a friend and was immediately pulled over I have no idea how my buddy can even stomach to stay in that area. We were pulled over for being white and only having one inspection sticker (Indiana county doesn't have emissions) so they assumed we were there to buy heroin.

Is it true that if you're from Pittsburgh one of the things you want to be when you grow up is a zombie in one of George Romero's movies?

Bobby's brother Anthony got beat to death about seven years after Bobby got killed.
It took place at the Pittsburgh Steak Club. Anthony went upstairs and got into some kind of argument.

If I'm not mistaken, Anthony also sucker punched Junior Williams a few days after Bobby was killed.

You're correct. Apparently,Anthony had no illusions about who ordered the hit on Bobby. I believe the incident you're referring to took place at one of Junior's joints(possibly an after hours club) up on 5th Avenue(Uptown),or in that vicinity.
On a related note,there are a few local rumors about how Ron Panyko managed to get a fractured leg while at the Mancini crime scene with Anthony.
The three most common causes given are:

1)Anthony wanted to run right out and go after Junior. Pankyo tried to restrain him and wound up falling down the stairs.

2) Anthony wanted to remove some of the evidence of Boby's business from the apartment and got into a scuffle with Pankyo,again resulting in Pankyo falling down the stairs.

3) The most common one circulated was that Anthony wanted to move Bobby's body (for some unknown reason) and that during a tug-of-war with Pankyo,Pankyo wound up falling down the stars,Bobby's body landed on top of him, hence the leg injury.

Not having been in the apartment,if I were a gambling man (and I am),my money would be on the first one,but that's my opinion.

I believe it happened at the 900 Club, which was run by Eugene Williams.

Are you referring to the shooting or Pankyo getting his leg injury?

Pankyo and the leg injury

[Lou_Para]

Gotcha. IMHO,it couldn't have happened to a bigger piece of s#it than Pankyo. Never had any use for him (or his evil twin Donnie.)If I had a quarter for every time Ron hit a guy that wasn't already cuffed,I couldn't make change for a dollar.
