I grew up thinking a roast beef sandwich was Arby's. I've since moved to the North Shore and fell in love with the local roast beef here. Not to say that they are any different from elsewhere, but I've always thought the number of older roast beef places in the area reflected an early fast food regionalism before burgers, subs, and pizza homogenized everything. The roast beef is generally freshly sliced thin, hot, and juicy and I eat it plain with just salt and pepper.
