A high-quality beef sandwich should be served fresh and not sit under heat lamps, with the broth acting as an intensifier for the meat's flavor.

“The thing that typifies Brennan and Car to me is everything is fresh. They don't have sandwiches sitting under heat lamps wrapped in foil. This was carved for me, dipped for me. This is why people come to Brennan and car.”

The roast beef sandwich should be prepared as a double dip, which provides the optimal balance of broth and flavor.

“The roast beef sandwich, double dip with cheese if you like. They order cheese fries and onion rings and you split it. You do whatever you like with it.”
