Now, when most people hear Buffalo, they think (food related) of the famous Buffalo Wings. But the locals think Weck. This is a famous local sandwich with a funky name. I knew I just had to try one for lunch before catching my flight. I figured if I was going to try, go where the locals go.
This place is located behind the airport on a corner. Small building with side doors for entrance/exit; enter on one side and back out the other. There is about 8 bar stools at the counter and maybe another 12 tables in there; that’s it. I ordered their famous Beef on Weck (junior version). This is slow roasted beef sliced right in front of you as you order on a unusual ‘kummelweck’ roll (fresh baked roll covered with salt and slight seasoning) and dipped in beef sauce with some good ole horseradish for kick. The beef was wonderful but the bread just made the sandwich. Slightly dipped in broth and then when you bit in, you get the beef offset by the salt on top of the bun. Not something you see every day and worth the extra 5 min drive from Buffalo airport. If every in town, go get you a Weck.
