One of the items on this season’s bucket list is to savor a pit beef sandwich. This is my favorite sandwich and I was craving it since I hadn’t had one since last July, well… before last Sunday that is. A summery item; it is usually sold at carnivals and fairs as well as in beach towns. In fact, if you are vacationing in Ocean City, Maryland, I highly recommend Bull on the Beach. I didn’t manage to attend any of those or make it to Ocean City this season. From conversations with friends who are not originally from this state, I understand that it is more of a local specialty. I suspect the beef is grilled over a pit of charcoal and then sliced thin and heaped onto a roll.
I persuaded my two girlfriends to have a pit beef or pit ham lunch at a local independently-owned restaurant where I had been before when it had a slightly different name. My sandwich was delicious!
I believe one should enjoy the little things in life, even if it is simply a sandwich.
