You bet, SF, hot roast beef sandwiches in a family diner are to die for...
unfortunately, maybe literally. These are one of those comfort foods that provided
the hard-working family farmer with enough calories and energy to work until
sundown. ;-)) A white-bread sandwich with layers (not too many, just enough)
sliced thinly, in the sandwich, and then the sandwich is cut cater-corner, separated
just enough on the plate to put a dipper of regular mashed potatoes. Then some
really good roast beef gravy is poured over a depression in the center of the
potatoes, with some naturally spilled over on the bread...with veggies in a side
dish, or not.

There is such a family restaurant just about a half mile from me; I take my grandson
there when he stays overnight. They have great lunches (pork tenderloin sandwiches,
for example, which can be breaded and fried OR grilled) and breakfasts. Just a nice,
old-fashioned kinda place. The last time I was there, I had a grilled cheese sandwich with
really crispy sliced bacon inside (special request, no extra charge). It was really good.
