Thin-sliced rare roast beef piled on a kummelweck roll (a Kaiser-style roll topped with caraway seeds and pretzel salt), the top half dipped in beef au jus and served with horseradish.
Beef on weck is Buffalo's other native dish, with Schwabl's in West Seneca serving it since 1837. German immigrant bakers brought the kummelweck roll (kummel for caraway, weck for the Austrian-German word for roll) and the city built a sandwich around it. Charlie the Butcher in Williamsville and Eckl's in Orchard Park run the suburban canonical versions; Bar Bill in East Aurora is the day-trip favorite.
