Butcher shop sandwich: Roast beef with horseradish at Clancey's Meats & Fish

Jimmy John's, Potbelly and Subway will forever fall into the also-ran category after one experiences the taste sensation that is the roast beef sandwich at this Linden Hills foodie magnet. The scrupulous made-to-order goodness includes a chewy Rustica-baked baguette, thin shavings of rare roast beef, coarse mustard, pungent fresh-ground horseradish, tangy house-pickled jalapenos, sweet house-roasted red bell peppers, a dash of vinegar, a spritz of olive oil and a few sprinkles of salt and pepper. Talk about a recipe for success.
