Ready for a flavor fact?! Believe it or not, the Beef Manhattan has little to do with New York City. It was created and named by Naval Ordnance Plant workers in Indianapolis who trained in Manhattan during World War II. Pretty cool, right? What's even cooler is this delicious concoction they dreamt up! They placed a piece of their favorite, crusty white bread on a plate, covered it with savory gravy and tender roast beef, a big, heaping scoop of creamy mashed potatoes, another piece of doughy bread, and topped it off with more of that mouth-watering meat gravy. You'll definitely need both of those pieces of bread to mop up all the drips left on the plate. Beef Manhattan is a prime example that great, tasty dishes from humble but intriguing times are always the best ones!
