Pit Beef Sandwich

Thin-shaved charcoal-grilled rare beef piled on a kaiser roll with raw onion and horseradish tiger sauce. Baltimore's non-barbecue barbecue, born on the Pulaski Highway in the 1970s.

Try it at: Chap's Pit Beef — the institution that set the city's smoky standard (as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives).
