Beef on Weck and Wings Buffalo
Beef on weck – where do we begin?
Let's start with a quick refresher in case you don't know – what is beef on weck? Basically, it's the Buffalo version (yes kids, this is one of those Buffalo things like sponge candy and loganberry) of a roast beef sandwich, ideally hand carved and served rare with horseradish and au jus, pilled high between a kimmelweck roll topped with kosher salt and caraway seeds. That last part is what makes it a beef on weck.
Not only is it absolutely delicious and stunningly better (in our opinion) than the non-weck version, like wings it's pretty easy to find a great version on almost any corner in WNY. Trust us when we say this guide won't steer you wrong on your quest to find the best beef on weck in Buffalo and Western New York.
