Why we love this recipe
This sandwich was inspired by one I used to get in college whenever I was able to gather enough cash together. The delectable, ultra-satisfying Gatsby Arrow, which was the one and only thing I ever ordered off the menu at Booeymongers in the heart of Georgetown in Washington DC..
I have no idea how it got that name, I just know it is the most delicious sandwich I know…a baguette stuffed with rare roast beef, Brie cheese and lettuce. The Georgetown Booeymongers is no more, but this easy to throw together sandwich lives on in my kitchen and always will!
When I make my own version I use a little Dijon mustard as well. It brings me right back to my college days, only without the blue book exams and the eight track tapes.
There’s something about the combo of creamy Brie cheese and tender roast beef that just plain works perfectly. And it’s one of those sandwiches that is portable and that makes is perfect for a picnic!
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities and nutritional information.
So here you go, one of the very best sandwiches I know.

I actually laughed out loud when I opened this post — I'm a Georgetown alum too, and I still live in the neighborhood and can literally see Booey's from my window!
I'm more of a Georgetowner (turkey, avocado, sprouts) or Patty Hearst (turkey, bacon, melted provolone and Russian dressing) fan myself, but I probably eat four meals a week from Booey's!
Glad to see the Georgetown/Booeymongers love. Keep it up!

We live just 30 minutes from Georgetown, so I can't wait to go find Booeymongers and try their famous sandwich! In the meantime, I'll probably just make it myself :)

I make a similar sandwich using pastrami instead of roastbeef and it tastes pretty awesome too!

yum! I live in DC – used to live a couple blocks away from Booey – it's still a Hoya hotspot :)
Barbara says
How marvelous! Booey's sounds fabulous and I thank them for introducing you (and now me) to this delight of a sandwich. Of course, brie is good anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

My friends from Madeira introduced me to Booey's (drinking age 18 back then!)- thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I would like to dispute step #3. I believe it should say…3. Run & hide to eat it so that no one knows there are Roast Beef & Brie sandwiches in the house.
Marisa says
You make me want to keep brie on hand all the time. :)
