Bob Pastorio's oven roasted roast beef for French dipped sandwiches.

Roast (1.5# rump) is in the oven @ 250 F.

I made the hot mustard. Sharpened the carving knife.

Au Jus can wait until the roast is done.

Soft Italian (couldn't find French) rolls and provolone cheese are in place.

About another two hours left. It's beginning to smell great in the meantime.

Didn't slice the meat as thin as I should've but it was all good anyway.

The mustard was hot! Hot!! HOT!!!

I ate two and a half sandwiches before surrendering.

I was wondering just this week if anyone remembered French Dip sandwiches.
I wanted one badly and made a quick and dirty sandwich using sliced roast
beef from the deli counter.

Janet,

I used to frequent Philippe's in L.A. for my once or twice a month French
dip fix. www.philippes.com

I don't see them served much in Philly. I guess the cheesesteak ran them
outta town.

Janet,

Their prices used to be very reasonable but there were so many people in
lines and parking was impossible, I can see them raising prices simply to
trim down the crowds.

We should all have THAT problem!

Still, where else you can get a good 10¢ cup of coffee?

I don't think I've *ever* seen peanut butter & jelly sandwiches on a
restaurant menu before!

One unusual thing about Philippe's worth mentioning...

There are no waitstaff. There's no cafeteria style service, per se. You walk
in and stand in one of four or five lines to servers standing in the kitchen
behind a long counter and when you reach the counter you recite everything
you want for your meal and stand there while it's prepared for you, pay the
server and then sit down wherever there's room. If you sit down and realize
you forgot something... get back in line. It's worked that way for 99 years.

Andy,

Looks de-lish-us. I can solve your slicing problem. Send me the rest of the
roast real quick like (along with the rest of the fixings....because they
might develop separation anxiety) and I'll run it through my slicer to your
specified thickness for a fee of a mere 2 sammiches! :~)

Not to worry, the prices are still more than reasonable. There are
two parking lots and they are still free. The coffee is actually 9
cents but they have to add a penny for tax.

Besides the famous French dip sandwiches (of which I especially like
the lamb) their beef stew is not bad and the baked apples are just
like grandma used to make. Lemonade is cheap, too. Breakfast still
features excellent biscuits and they put the bowl of fresh salsa on
the counter for you to help yourself to spoon it on your eggs.... -
