"Virtually every sandwich on this Brookline Village shop’s menu was in the running for this list, but there could only be one, and that one is the Beef 1000. It’s not a North Shore-style beef, but it doesn’t matter. The roast beef is cooked in-house to a tender pink, and it is topped with Thousand Island dressing, sharp cheddar, and crispy shallots. It’s all served on a black pepper brioche bun and griddled ever so slightly in a panini press for a bit of textural variety. This sandwich is a miracle." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
