Rundstück warm is a local dish from Hamburg, Germany. Slices of roast pork are layered on top of a rundstück, a type of crusty bun similar to a kaiser roll, and gravy is poured on top making a
delicious mess. Some people say it is the original hamburger, but I think dishes like the hot turkey sandwiches, and beef manhatten that you get in traditional diners is the rundstück warm's direct decendant.
It's actually not very easy to find a rundstück warm in Hamburg. Oberhafenkantine has it on the menu, and Altes Mädchen does a slightly upscale version that mostly sticks to the original idea. So the best thing to do is to make it yourself.
