Beef on Weck by MFM

Right or wrong I often associate places with food and most people would expect to hear about wings when you visit Buffalo. However – have you ever had beef on weck? It is hot sliced beef served on a soft roll that has salt and caraway seeds on top. The one I tried was served with au jus and horseradish on the side – completely delicious.

OK – so I have done a lot more than eat in Buffalo.

Today I had a 3 hour walking tour of downtown – some really incredible building including city hall and Adler and Sullivan’s Guaranty building. We also took the free above ground train from Church (after we toured Upjohn’s St Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral from 1851. When we entered organ music was resounding because the organist was practicing) to Theater (where we walked to see Trinity Episcopal Church and the Tiffany and LaFarge windows).

Buffalo seems like it needs some kind of downtown revitalization. There are so many empty store fronts and closed businesses.

Beef on Weck?

Sounds tasty.

Is this hard to find in Buffalo? I’m headed there at the end of June (a summer camp for Latin geeks happens there).

So Tasty

It did seem to be on lots of menus so I think you can get Beef on Weck many places, but one of the best was Charlie the Butchers. Guy Fieri from the Food Network did a show about Buffalo and he said it could have been called the Beef on Weck tour.

Have fun!

Thanks

Sounds like I should be able to find this without too much trouble. I’ll have to keep Charlie the Butcher in mind.
