Driving out of Washington DC to Baltimore on a Good Friday afternoon was a slow process. It seemed like there was bumper to bumper traffic the whole way. We were traveling to the Charm City to try out a food that they are known for. Pit beef. We heard the place to get it was Chap's Pit Beef.We finally made it through the traffic and pulled into the parking lot that was shared with a strip club that advertised fully nude strippers. Class all the way!
The place started out as a shack and is a little bigger now. It is still small inside, and there is a few tables and a large picnic table. You order your food at one window and pay, and pick it up at a window around the corner.
The beef is bottom round, cooked over a pit,then itis sliced thin. You can order it to the doneness you prefer. We got ours medium. I recommend putting onions and tiger sauce. Don't make the mistake we did and put horseradish on. It literally brought tears to my eyes and wrecked the sandwich in my opinion. The tiger sauce has mayo nd horseradish whichI hop is tamer.We got fries without sandwich, and while they were okay, the little nubs that they use for fries made them too much trouble to eat. While the sandwich was o.k. to try once, I would definitely not make the trip to try it again.
Chaps has other meats and sides on their menu. You can find them on the web at: http://chapspitbeef.com/menu/ . They are located at 5801 Pulaski Hwy in Baltimore and also have another location in Aberdeen. Just watch that horseradish!
