According to a segment aired on NPR in July 2006, Frank Olivieri, son of Harry, said that his father ran a local hot dog stand, and one day grew tired of the same meal and sent his brother to the butcher shop for some steak and an Italian bun. Pat grilled the steak and added sautéed onions, placing them on an Italian roll. A new sandwich was born. In the first few years the sandwich did not contain cheese, but "Cheese Whiz" was added much later for variety.One of Pat's customers was a cab driver who smelled the steak and asked for a sandwich. Pat sold his creation for a mere 10 cents. The cab driver suggested that Pat sell the sandwich for lunch and the sensation was born. Olivieri's lunch stand was renamed "Pat's King of Steaks".By the 1960s, cheese was added to the sandwich, and in the 1950s several celebrities has spread the fame of the sandwich nationwide.Pat died in 1970 and Harry died 07/20/2006 at the age of 90.

Living near fast food outlets?

A new study has revealed that people living near a variety of restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets and even fast food outlets, are less likely to be fat.
On the contrary, people who live more than a half mile away from any food outlets are more likely to be fatter.The study suggests that placing restrictions on fast food outlets may not be effective, but that initiatives to increase healthy neighborhood food options may reduce individuals’ obesity risks, especially if focused on low-income neighborhoods.In the study involving 500,000 Salt Lake County residents, the researchers found that nearly half of the residents enjoy a mix of food options in their neighborhoods, while 30 percent have access to at least one retail food option and the remaining 30 percent live in “food deserts”-neighborhoods with no retail food options.
