Welcome to the kickoff of a two-part serial on ane of this country’s most delicious unknown sandwiches, the “Beef on Weck.” This simple, only vivid creation features thinly sliced, horseradish covered, roast beef, piled high on a freshly baked kummelweck.
The roll’s fragrant caraway seeds too coarse tabular array salt are a perfect accent, too when y’all add together a steaming ramekin of fresh beef jus for dunking, you’ll empathize why this is the pride of Western New York. Sorry, chicken wings.
