The Story

This ties to the roast beef component in the Playbook — make the roast beef, slice it thin, and you've got sandwich meat that's way better than anything from the deli counter. My preferred way to do this is open-faced under the broiler so the cheese melts and gets a little bubbly, then put the top bun on. Provolone is my cheese of choice, and the horseradish mayo brings a sharp kick that pairs perfectly with beef. Good bread and quality beef are non-negotiable here — without those, it's just a sandwich.
