GMG Chris picked up lunch yesterday at Jamie’s Roast Beef in Peabody, next to Treadwells near our old High School, Bishop Fenwick.

I can’t take credit for this. I saw it on Insta-

Last night’s dinner from @jamiesroastbeef after spending a small fortune on food at BJs. This super 4 way was packed with flavor from not only the well seasoned beef but from their delicious beer battered onion rings and garlic aioli instead of mayo. There might not be a better way to eat a beef.

I believe someone from North Shore Beef referred to it as “The Gangbang”
