Okay, I checked! It's a special by local boy Rick Sebak of WQED, Sandwiches That You Will Like. A lot of them were disgusting, but I was going to Buffalo that summer, and tried the Beef on Weck. Pretty good, but not an Italian Beef from Chicago. |
You're pulling on my heart strings here. My hometown is situated about an hour and a half southeast of Buffalo and two hours south of Rochester (which is where the Garbage Plate) comes in.
Beef on Weck is the #1 thing that I miss from home (yes, even more than Buffalo Wings, but that's probably because I guzzle Frank's Hot Sauce like it's my job). I went to this great place in Virginia of all places and it was a bar owned by a guy from Buffalo. The Beef on Weck was fantastic and that was the first time I had had a Beef on Weck in over a year. Since then, I have one every time I go home, doesn't matter the weather.
I have had an Italian Beef here. In my mind, it was pretty good, but not a Beef on Weck. I think the closest yinzers have is Ox Roast.
