BUFFALO, N.Y. — Charlie the Butcher has become synonymous to beef on weck in Buffalo over its 60-year history.
Now the company is working to expand its reach beyond the 716 area code by making its roast beef and kummelweck seasoning mix available to ship anywhere in the nation. It’s the next evolution for a business with roots that go back to a late 1800s butcher shop in Buffalo.
Today, the company is shipping make-your-own-beef-on-weck kits to 48 states through its catering company that include a set of six 4-ounce portions of cooked and sliced roast beef, au jus, half a dozen Kaiser rolls, a jar of its branded weck mix and horseradish.
