Sweet Jesus, son of Mary, Son of God, closely related to the Holy Ghost do I LOVE the roast beef sandwich at Old Original Nick's Roast Beef in Springfield, PA.
Just look at it. Oh my God it's so good. I've been there a bunch of times but went last week and took these amazing photos. I wish there was a place in Chester County that served hand cut roast beef like this on a great roll and topped with gravy. And prove and horseradish.
The closest thing is the Blarney Stone but they use deli meat. It's not even close.
I tried to duplicate it at home a few months ago but found out later that they cover the beef in fat before roasting it. AND they puree vegetable into the gravy.
Oh. And when I was there, I was wearing a white dress shirt and some lady kept looking at me and then finally said, "I hope you don't get any gravy on that nice white shirt." Uh. OK
Also I learned that blue collar Irish people talk REALLY loudly. Seriously, keep your voices down.
Anyways, it's a tasty ass sandwich. To read a detailed review from a local blogger that I know click here.
Look how spongey the roll is!
ReplyDeleteNow I want one!
Maybe that lady reads your blog. Did you spill any on your shirt? Be honest...
ReplyDeleteKristen - I didn't but I was afraid I would and then she would say, "I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL!"
ReplyDeleteIf I lived near Nick's Roast in Springfield I would organise a meet-up on a monthly base. We would name it the OONRB -club ! And yeah, it would be that time of the month when grease and chocolat are keeping us (women) sane .. :^O
