Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Hot beef sandwich?

Hot open faced roast beef on a cold day with green beans and mashed taters.....cup of black coffee for lunch.
Makes it bearable to go back out in the cold after lunch and work til dark in the winter.

A man I used to work for was from she-caw-go
and came up with these sandwiches he called
Italian beef. They were pretty good. You had a
little plastic container of meat grease you dipped
it in as you ate it.

Some other fellows I worked with would bring
these sandwiches made of ground beef all
chopped up instead of in a patty like a
hamburger. There wasn't anything on it like
you'd put on a hamburger, just that meat on a
bun. Near as I can remember, there's nothing
to it other than beef broth and salt and black
pepper like comes in the tin can. And rehydrated
dried onion.

They were from she-caw-go too

If he "came up" with them he must be really old. There's places in Chicago that have been serving them for almost 90 years.

This time with thin sliced round steak.

Richard....I applaud your determination......but this is twice now that you have done this wrong.


Hot beef is a slice of roast.

By that I mean he bought em at some place
unknown to me. I'd never heard of that before
then.

If it tastes good, it can't be wrong!

A few years ago my wife, and I ordered the hot turkey sandwich in a nice eating spot in Fort Frances. Bad.

It was probably pressed turkey.

Not good.

put it in front of me i'll eat, even lowly cuisine

That turkey may have been fine at noon, we ate about three.

It’s to be expected.

Canadian cuisine is only slightly behind Canadian beer.

Shot across bow, check.

Hot beef sandwiches come from Chicago (dry, dipped or soaked with hot and/or sweet peppers) or as pit beef from Baltimore.

Certainly not ground round.

The ground round dish is called a Hot Hamburg at the diners I’ve frequented.

Those are called Italian Beefs.

They are not the same as an open face hot beef sandwich.

There is the famous Philadelphia pepper mushroom cheese steak sandwich.

That’s called a Philly Cheese Steak.

Years ago a co-worker that was born and raised in Buffalo always spoke of beef on weck sandwiches. He would tear them up when he would visit his parents.

there's one i've always wanted to try, but haven't had the chance, 'beef on weck'...have to go to Buffalo to get it
