* Where: River Street Deli, 151 River St.
* What: The Yankee Pot Roast sandwich with real gravy has become a Southern comfort treat every Wednesday at this popular Coolidge Park deli. Owner Bruce Weiss roasts eye of round lightly dusted with salt and pepper. Carrots, onions and celery are added to the pan, then topped with pan drippings thickened with a little flour and some red wine. Once done, the roast is sliced, topped with the gravy, which includes the pureed vegetables, and placed on a toasted Kaiser roll. “It’s a multi-napkin sandwich, and we sell out every Wednesday,” Mr. Weiss said. People love it and come from all over to get it.” So, he advises, come early because the pot roast is usually gone before 12:30 p.m.
* Price: $7.49.
* Hours: 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.
