Frommer's Review

Beef on Weck is one of those "only in Buffalo" creations, and Charlie has made the sandwich into a science -- and an experience. What the heck is weck? It's short for kummelweck, a German kaiser roll sprinkled with caraway seeds and pretzel salt and baked again for several minutes until crusty. Add sliced, rare roast beef and you'll have the basic sandwich, but Charlie insists on dipping the top of the roll in au jus and adding horseradish. He's set up in the food court of the gorgeous Ellicott building downtown; grab a sandwich and enjoy the Italian mosaic floors and the skylight.
