Every region in America has its culinary specialties, and New England is no different. In fact, New England and the greater Boston area might even have more than other parts of the country. We’ve got clam chowder, lobster rolls, grinders (or whatever you call them), and—most importantly—roast beef. It will come as no surprise that we take roast beef pretty seriously here at Jasmine’s Roast Beef. It might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re ready to order delivery in Seabrook, NH, but why not?
Let’s take a look at where this classic New England food came from.
Origins on the North Shore
Some people will try to claim that the roast beef sandwich originated in places other than Boston or the North Shore, but we can’t believe that’s true. There are even people who claim that the roast beef sandwich started in Chicago! But if you’ve ever seen what passes for a roast beef sandwich in Chicago, you’ll wonder how anyone could even think that. Some beef on a bun does not a roast beef sandwich make.
The roast beef sandwich as we know it, thin slices of rare beef on a roll, has more than one origin story, but the best-known version involves a canceled wedding in 1951. As the story goes, Kelly’s in Revere, MA, had a whole roast beef left over after a couple canceled their wedding. Not wanting to waste that much quality beef, they sliced it up and served it at their hot dog stand. It was a hit, and it still remains Kelly’s most popular item to this day.
The Best Way to Enjoy It
While all you really need to make a roast beef sandwich is beef and bread (and maybe a little salt), most people agree it’s best with some toppings. The most popular choices are barbeque sauce, cheese (usually American, placed on the bottom so it doesn’t slide off), and mayo. All three of them together is colloquially known as the “three-way.” Pickles, horseradish, lettuce, and tomato are also popular additions to the classic sandwich.
