  1. I grew up outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and briefly waitressed at a restaurant at a nearby mall. Their specialty was French dip and I’ve had a special place in my heart for it ever since. I love your addition of the Herbes de Provence – what a terrific idea!

  2. I think crock pots were invented for cooking beef roasts. I love the way they come out so tender. Great flavors in your recipe and I can tell it would make very tasty sandwiches.
