How about them Niners? The new coach seems to be chip off the Bill
Walsh block... oh, wait - he's from Stanford too. It figures.

Many metro areas have their own local beef recipe. In Philadelphia it's
the cheese steak. In Chicago it's the Italian beef. In Buffalo it's
the beef on weck - A place named Schwabl's near the Buffalo airport
tends to get reviewed among the top 10 roast beef places in the US and
often makes the top of the list. I like all of the styles but I'm
originally from Buffalo so I'm naturally biased in favor. When we drive
into town we often just happen to arrive just on time for dinner at
Schwabl's. Not exactly a coincidence. ;^)

Wings on the other hand, not that many cities have their own native
recipe so Buffalo tends to rule the wing roost.

So for beef Buffalo is one of many contenders but for wings there's
almost no competition.

For me I'd take the Italian beef over the cheesesteak every day.

Looks pretty tasty, but without having tasted it and based on the
description here would still favor the Italian beef, the pepperocini
mix (?) puts it over the top.

If someone wanted to buy me one I'd eat it though.

The cable TV program "Food Paradise: 'Sandwich Paradise'" did a segment
on Chicago's famous Italian beef sandwich. I think it was at Al's, iirc.
They certainly looked great, messy and filling!

In Los Angeles, (not all over the city) Philippe's is known as the
restaurant that invented, quite by accident, the French dipped sandwich.

They're fairly plain, au jus, cheese and/or hot mustard. You can choose
roast beef, pork lamb, ham or turkey.

The au jus is a bit unusual. All the juices from all the meats are
combined in one pot for dipping so each sandwich get a slight flavor of
them all. How pronounced? I forget. It's been years.
