kicker Posted April 20, 2016 #27 Share Posted April 20, 2016 When I was growing up in the Albany NY area there was a small chain shop called Neba's - made the best, tenderest Roast Sandwich I ever had. The Park Cafe Roast Beef on bun is the closest I've found to it. Sometimes it was a little fatty, but it was a nice alternative (along with other items at Park ) to The Windjammer.

papaflamingo Posted April 20, 2016 #28 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Had one on Serenade a few weeks ago. By far the best ever! The beef was amazing. The rolls... always great. I'm with the "I love them" group. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rharvey999 Posted April 20, 2016 #29 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Being from Buffalo, NY I have to chime in here. Beef on weck is a huge staple, kind of like chicken wings. Kummelweck - Its a roll with caraway seeds and salt on top. The rolls they make on the ship are softer version - the roll itself should be slightly crunchy so when you dip it, it softens up. It should be served like a French Dip sandwich with a cup of au jus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_on_weck I left the Buffalo area in 1980. (Grand Island). Buffalo, regardless of the snow, has some great comfort food. Wings at the Anchor Bar (where they started) and Beef on Weck have my taste buds watering.

That's a blast from the past. Takes me back to Lake George 45 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted April 20, 2016 #31 Share Posted April 20, 2016 On Oasis it was fatty beef on a soggy bun. It was not special. Thank you. I thought it was me. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rharvey999 Posted April 20, 2016 #32 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I suppose it has a lot to do with individual taste. When my daughter went to Texas A&M she used to love crawfish boils. You know the whole sucking the brains out? Not for me. I gag at the look of eating bugs (or what look like bugs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubrrick Posted April 20, 2016 #35 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) We first tried this on the Allure pre inaugural, and it was one of the best taste of a slow cooked roasted beef, with aujus, and I loved it. Since then.........it really has been hit or miss. It saddend me, but Royal Caribbean is a mass market cruise line, and not everything will be the same on all ships.

3happyferrets Posted April 20, 2016 #36 Share Posted April 20, 2016 But I will never again try the honey stung chicken lol. Do they even offer it anymore?? Think the honey stung chicken is available from room service if I'm remembering correctly. But there are better things to get Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 20, 2016 #37 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Think the honey stung chicken is available from room service if I'm remembering correctly. But there are better things to get They have something they call Honey Stung chicken on the room service menu, but it is not like it was then they used to make it on the ship. I think it's just another frozen Tyson like thing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted April 20, 2016 #38 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think beef on weck is a lot like NY style pizza. It doesn't travel well. Local ingredients, local recipes, and local practitioners provide a quality that can't be duplicated in other regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted April 20, 2016 #39 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just like the bagels you buy locally are nothing like the ones you get in NYC. Even if they're frozen and shipped from there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinhill Posted April 20, 2016 #41 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Allow me to be the dumb one. What the heck is a Kummelwerth sandwich? Kimmelweck- i had it almost every day on the Grandeur, at the Solarium deli i think was called either Compass Deli or something like that. I got that and the fabulous salad they make custom according to what you would like included in it. It is very good, the sandwich, but i agree that i do not know what such a big deal is made about this. It is a couple of pieces of roast beef with a little fat on it on a roll.

megacruiser Posted April 20, 2016 #42 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Served in Park Cafe aboard Oasis... Served in The Cafe@TWO70 aboard Quantum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted April 20, 2016 #43 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The sandwich has been a staple of the Park Cafe venue, which is not on Voyager or Freedom class ships. However, some have reported seeing the sandwich on some of these ships for limited times in Park Cafe and the Royal Promenade. I had one last year on Brilliance. The meat was very fatty, so it was a bit of a let down. I'd be willing to try again though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted April 20, 2016 #44 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Served in Park Cafe aboard Oasis... Served in The Cafe@TWO70 aboard Quantum... Not a Buffalo native, but to me, too fatty, too thick, and not enough beef. Yeah, bagels don't travel well from NYC either, nor does lobster. I'll take crawfish from Louisiana, but not from too far away either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Oakville Posted April 20, 2016 #45 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Schwabl's in West Seneca or The Beef n Barrel in Olean were my weck meccas. When I was growing up in the Albany NY area there was a small chain shop called Neba's - made the best, tenderest Roast Sandwich I ever had. The Park Cafe Roast Beef on bun is the closest I've found to it. Sometimes it was a little fatty, but it was a nice alternative (along with other items at Park ) to The Windjammer. Thank you!!! I've made note of these. Someone recently recommended Charlie The Butcher, and I have that one on my list of places to go. Last time we were in Rochester, we visited a local sports bar, and my daughter freaked when she Beef on Weck on the menu. It was AWFUL. It looked dried out like it had been under the heat lamp for a week. :( 206 days until I'm on Oasis :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmnky Posted April 20, 2016 #46 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We just got off Freedom on Sunday and yes it was offered in front of the bar that is at the entrance to the Windjammer on the last day during lunch. So yummy. I can't wait for our Oasis cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolosmom Posted April 20, 2016 #47 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Schwabl's in West Seneca or The Beef n Barrel in Olean were my weck meccas. I've been to Schawbl's - my mom used to own a corner bar in the Cheektowaga ares, so I am partial to hers :) We did our wedding rehearsal dinner at her bar and served beef on weck and chicken wings with Genesee beer to drink.. Very unusual, but everyone loved it (except maybe my MIL ;) ) Edited April 20, 2016 by hansolosmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200S Posted April 20, 2016 #48 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have had the kummelweck sandwich on Oasis and Quantum and like it very much. I will have it on Harmony next year. I like mine with Au jus and horseradish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted April 20, 2016 #50 Share Posted April 20, 2016 This thing that people rave about but left me wondering what the heck all the fuss is about. It is a roast beef sandwich - not a big deal IMHO. 4th post, I should have taken the under! Love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
