  1. Dear Chef John – I am going to make Weck rolls. What are your thoughts on lightly grinding/crushing the coriander seeds vs leaving them whole. I want the seeds not so hunky but am worried about the smells evaporating…

  2. For years I’ve been looking for places that serve these and came up empty. You gave me the confidence to make them myself and while I need some practice they came out great! Thanks not just for the instructions but for telling us we can do it! I am off and running now ready to make these for my friends.

  3. My wife and I just finished 1 large and 1 small beef on weck each using these recipes and they were delicious. The only comment I have is that I would only make 6 rolls out of this. Even my large ones were not very big, but as I said I made up for it! I used a scale when cutting the dough but I had already started and my first two were just going to be bigger than the rest. It is 400g of flour and 270g of water and figure the egg, oil, yeast, sugar and honey are another 50 or so. That's 720g, divide by 6 and get 120g each. My first 2 were 110g, the rest were maybe 75-90.

  4. I'm a whole second into the video, but as a native to the twin tiers who's since moved away, I'm already thankful someone as good as Chef John is tackling this. It's been SEVEN YEARS since my last visit to the Beef n' Barrel, and man do I miss it.

  5. My parents grew up in the Buffalo area and I lived in Rochester until we moved to LA when I was a kid. When I go back to visit family this sandwich is at the top of the list of things to eat..many times! Right behind a Zweigels white hot.

  6. OK, I can't wait for part two. I grew up in Dunkirk, NY and there are a few places that make Beef on Weck that is OUT OF BOUNDS. I absolutely love this sandwich. On a recent trip to my home I had five in the span of 4 days.

    You saved my life with this. I will be trying this out very soon. I live in Lexington, KY now and I've been craving Beef on Weck for weeks. Thanks so much….

  7. i'm going to start calling things "on Weck" as a compliment. "yo, dude, your newest song is on weck!" "dang, becky lost some weight she's looking on weck." "that new mazda is on weck!"

  8. The only time I eat Weck is around the November time where there's the St. Martin's day in Germany. The kids actually go around in processions with lanterns and at the end of the procession they all get together to light a big fire and get bags with sweets and men formed out of Weck. They're like gingerbread men but better!
