This is a great sandwich. The ingredients are basic, but together they make a great combination.
According to Bon Appetit, they are served in a cafe in Chicago, called Corner Bakery Cafe. They are so good, that a cafe serves them:) I have made these many times.
Of course I took a shortcut sometimes and sauteed the onions in a pan instead of roasting it. But if you roast it, it does taste better. And cut the onions a little bit thick, they taste better that way:)
You can also substitute roasted chicken breasts instead of using roast beef. And you can try different breads, they were great with Parmesan rolls. They all come out great with the mayo and the arugula.
