We love the way they get sort of drippy ooey-gooey, and with just a little mustard or horse relish added at the last minute to create kind of a juicy sauce with a kick. A small cup of beef au-jus for dipping ... a couple of cold Kosher dill pickle slices on the side ... the mouth waters just at the thought of it all.
