Sheepshead Bay: Roll n’ Roaster’s Roaster Beef

Another sandwich which proves the maxim that less is more, the Roaster Beef from the Sheepshead Bay institution Roll n’ Roaster is a borough classic, having fed generations of hungry Brooklynites since 1970. There’s other things to get at Roll n’ Roaster, but who cares? The classic roaster beef sandwich—thinly shaved slices of rare, medium, or well-done roast beef (get the rare, duh) on a perfectly squishy kaiser roll—is what fast food is supposed to be: filling, messy, and indulgently delicious. Just don’t embarrass yourself by getting the turkey. You’ll get some raised eyebrows for sure.
