Sheepshead Bay roast beef sandwich · Brooklyn

Thin-sliced roast beef on a roll, dipped in the pan juices. Brennan & Carr and Roll-n-Roaster sit at opposite ends of Sheepshead Bay, and fans of each are fiercely loyal.

Brennan & Carr has run in Sheepshead Bay since 1938 and serves a plain roll filled with thinly sliced roast beef dipped in the roasting juices, under a sign reading Hot Beef Sandwiches. Southern Brooklyn's roast beef dip is a distinct local phenomenon, and Roll n' Roaster serves essentially the same sandwich in a fast-food setting. Roll N Roaster, open since the early 1970s, serves it on kaiser rolls, with a dip in the meat juices for a small extra charge. The sandwich resembles the French dip of Los Angeles, whose Philippe's is about 30 years older than Brennan & Carr, so how the Brooklyn version began is unsettled.
