What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The deli episode featured Charlie the Butcher's Beef on Weck, the roast beef sandwich piled onto a caraway-and-salt kummelweck roll that has become a signature Buffalo-area dish. The restaurant traces back to Charles E. Roesch's 1914 meat business, which moved from Buffalo's Broadway Market to Wehrle Drive in Williamsville and became Charlie the Butcher's Kitchen in 1993, still run by the Roesch family as a full-service restaurant and catering operation. Step Out Buffalo's business listing, checked 2026-09-07, describes the Williamsville shop as currently open, with roughly 1,931 Google reviews and a 4.6-star rating, offering dine-in, takeout, and patio seating. I Love NY's official tourism listing, also checked 2026-09-07, independently shows the same 1065 Wehrle Drive address and (716) 633-8330 phone number. This Williamsville 'Kitchen' location is separate from the company's other outposts, including a Carvery on Buffalo's Elmwood Avenue and an Express counter downtown.
