After watching an episode of Bizarre Foods Delicious Destinations with Andrew Zimmern, we just had to go to Buffalo and try all that luscious food that was featured. The one that really caught Rebbel's eye was a meaty looking sandwich called beef on weck. The restaurant featured n the show is a place that has been around since 1837. Stepping through the door transports you back through time. On the walls of this immaculately kept older house type restaurant are pictures of dats gone by. The staff is very knowledgeable and processional.
The beef on weck is made from your choice of doneness from the in house roasted,hand carved, beef. We chose medium, which we thought was a little over done for our tastes. It is put on a kummeleck roll that is a very salty roll made by a German back in the 1820.'s, The top of the cut roll is dipped in the juices of the meat. My take after the first bite, was that it took me back to my younger days when we had leftover beef on Sundays. I would make a sandwich out of beef with butter on the bread and salt on the meat. You get all of that with this sandwich. although it was a way bit too salty for our tastes. I also got the house pickled beets that took me back to the ones that my Mom used to pickle herself. Except for the fact that a got a week's worth of salt in one bite of sandwich, I thought the beef was very good and so was the beets. Rebbel go the house nade german potato sandwich that was also very good. If you plan to go,they are located at 789 Center Rd, West Seneca, NY.
