Friday’s Last Spoonful: Field Trip

Pioneer Pit Beef: Windsor Mill, Md.

We like this little pit beef stand for the large sandwiches that they provide to hungry patrons. When we've gone, paramedics, office workers, and casual diners are often lined up outside the door. An old-fashioned pioneer wagon is painted on the bright exterior. The aroma of smoke and barbecue beef permeates from the kitchen. Sandwiches come in three sizes: regular ($5.50), super ($6.25), and sub ($6.50). We suggest sticking with the regular since it’s already stacked high with beef. Guests can also select rare, medium rare, medium, and well-done pit beef. The meat cutter will tease customers with a sample slice. Mayo, sliced yellow onions, mustard, horseradish, bbq sauce, and tiger sauce make up the array of additions guests can add to their sandwiches. Side menu items include fries ($2.25), fries w/ gravy ($2.50), (coleslaw ($.75), and pickle ($.75). The fries come piping hot but you can add as much ketchup, salt, or vinegar to each batch.

Take exit 17 Security Blvd/MD 122 off 695 you turn LEFT onto N Rolling Road from Security. Pass by the Security Square Mall and under the I-70 overpass. Then turn right at the next light and look for the small shack that’s bright yellow.
