National Roast Beef Day? It’s Buffalo’s time to shine! 🥩🦬

Around here, this holiday means celebrating our signature sandwich: beef on weck.

For those unfamiliar, a beef on weck features carved roast beef served on a kimmelweck roll, a Kaiser roll topped with pretzel salt and caraway seeds, and is typically finished with horseradish. While its exact origins are debated, the sandwich, rooted in German immigrant tradition, has been a Buffalo staple for generations.

One of the names most closely associated with preserving that tradition is Charlie The Butcher's Restaurants, a fourth-generation family business founded in 1914. To celebrate National Roast Beef Day, Charlie the Butcher will be offering free beef on weck samples and weck mix to make your own beef on weck at Dash’s Market (Hopkins/Klein location) today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free weck mix will also be available at all Charlie the Butcher and Dash’s locations while supplies last.
