However, I fancy myself an amateur connoisseur of the roast beef sammie. Probably my favorite incarnation would have to be the French dip or Italian beef. Any new place I hit, if they have either on the menu, I'm ordering it.
Though as a kid growing up in OK, my first introduction to the genre was the drip beef, which is similar to the Italian beef, just different seasonings and bun. Don't know if anyone here has ever heard of it, or eaten there, but my fav spot was Diamond Jack's in Tulsa off Harvard ave. and 43rd?
Place was decorated in ruby red . . . everything really. Chairs were upholstered in deep red velvet, carpets were ruby red shag, and I think there were ruby red wall curtains everywhere. I think I was told that the place was a whorehouse originally, lol.
Anyway, basically big piles of shaved or pulled roast beef that spent the day simmering in a rich beef broth all day stuffed into a poppy seed roll, then dipped in the broth, rolled up in a foil pouch. Came with homemade chips, iirc.
Dang, I miss that place.
