Beef on weck – where do we begin?
Let’s start with a quick refresher in case you don’t know – what is beef on weck? Basically, it’s the Buffalo version (yes kids, this is one of those Buffalo things like sponge candy and loganberry) of a roast beef sandwich, ideally hand carved and served rare with horseradish and au jus, pilled high between a kimmelweck roll topped with kosher salt and caraway seeds. That last part is what makes it a beef on weck.
Not only is it absolutely delicious and stunningly better (in our opinion) than the non-weck version, like wings it’s pretty easy to find a great version on almost any corner in WNY.
