From Wikipedia
The origin and history of the beef on weck sandwich is not well established.[3] It is believed that a German baker named William Wahr, who is thought to have immigrated from the Black Forest region of Germany, created the kummelweck roll while living in Buffalo, New York.[3] Wahr may have based the kummelweck roll on a special loaf left as a ceremonial offering for the dead known in Swabia as Schwäbische Seele, which is a thin roll resembling a baguette that is topped with salt and caraway seeds.[4]
A local pub owner is said to have used the roll to create the beef on weck, with the thought that the salty top of the roll would encourage his patrons to purchase more drinks.

Yep my daughter did her post graduate work in Buffalo and when she visited we provided the beef she provided the kimmelwick. Like the reason for the wick , Anchor Bar also created its buffalo chicken wings in an attempt to get patrons to drink more beer.
Much of Upstate New York ,Rochester and especially Skeanatles and surrounding Skeanatles is famous for its fish fry (deep fried haddock)
Athens comes close to duplicating "Doug's " Fish Fry an enormous piece of deep fried haddock but Doug's is the champion |
