For most people, these early June days are just that. Maybe the start of summer vacation, some personal events — but there's a push to make one of these days just a bit 'meatier.'

The concept of roast beef and roast beef sandwiches belongs to no particular place or people, but at the aptly named 'Charlie the Butcher,' they're trying.

"Hundreds of places in the area that has served this great sandwich," said Charlie the Butcher co-owner and self-proclaimed "Mrs. Charlie" Bonnie Roesch.

The meat and fixings between bread in question: beef on weck, a regionally stylized item that brings people in from all around.

"I now live in Syracuse where I grew up," said Michael O'Dell en route back from a vacation in Ohio with his family. "When I traveled through Buffalo either leaving away from Syracuse or going home, I always stop at Charlie the Butcher, this particular location, and get a beef on weck."

Visiting families, regulars from across the region and state — it all started somewhere.

"The 1960s when I was doing dishes in the Broadway Market working in the old family butcher shop for years and I went away to college came back and said, ‘you know what, I think I can do this,’" said the titular Charles ‘Charlie the Butcher’ Roesch.

An old-school business in the Polish part of town, but when this Charlie took over, there was a bit of a change.

"Pick up those sandwiches. We're taking them to the suburbs," exclaimed Bonnie.

Friends, family and community supporting, they've grown as the taste of a roast beef sandwich has stood the test of time.

"We're proud of the sandwich and that we stay here and live here and we get through adversity," Bonnie added. "We survive and we strive and I guess we're proof of that."

Need proof? The Briscos stopped in from Florida for a meal not knowing it was Williamsville's 30th anniversary. Donnie is from nearby Rochester but has little to no history with a beef on weck.

"I have no idea, I left in 1971. I've never been back," he said.

Cheryl is originally from Pittsburgh but is trying out something 'yinz' won't believe.

"We're taking my daughter to the airport to go back to Tampa," she said. "And we were looking for a great place to eat and I started Googling it. I looked it up and I was like, ‘OK, this place looks cool. I like the name.’"

The verdict?

"Delicious," yelled the Florida family. "Never a doubt."

And so while Charlie the Butcher is celebrating four generations, several locations and 30 years open by the airport, they're hoping to finish the job on making 'national roast beef day' a thing.

"It started in a restaurant in Massachusetts that sells a lot of roast beef sandwiches, but then it stopped," explained Bonnie. "It was COVID and it stopped. And so like I said, we thought we could take it."

But even if successful, there's an argument to be made...

"At Charlie the Butcher's, every day is national roast beef day," said Charlie.

"Every day in Western New York is national roast beef day," added O'Dell.

And with any kind of luck, one of every 365th day will be the official one here in New York and the 49 other states.

According to RiehlFood.com, the closest we get so far is May being National Beef Month and June following up as National Beef Steak Month.

The hope is to carve out a special day for roast beef.
