The name of a popular high school cafeteria item. Usually means roast beef, with gravy, on soggy white bread. The open face part is because the two pieces of bread are separate, at the bottom, under the meat and gravy.

Not only is this rarely tasty, it is a source of amusement for many students who often stare at the kitchen help and hold their mouths open wide when told what the meal is called.

Large, sweaty kitchen ladies in formerly white uniforms do not find this amusing in the least.

A popular item at such restaurants as The Roast House. Perfect on a cold, rainy day, or in winter. These sandwiches are constructed from a piece of bread (usually wheat), a few pieces of meat (often turkey, chicken, or roast beef), and gravy poured on top. They're complimented by mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, peas, and lots more bread.

This a great way to get rid of leftover meat after a holiday, or any big dinner.
