"The North Shore-style roast beef sandwich is — in all of its sloppy, messy glory — an iconic Massachusetts bite. The classic version (or, the “super beef,” as it’s known in most shops) consists of an onion or seeded roll piled high with rosy-pink roast beef shaved impossibly thin and topped with mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and a slice of white American cheese. It’s known colloquially as a “three-way,” and that’s exactly how Hot Box prepares its version. This Union Square shop’s beef compares favorably to all the best spots north of the city, from Revere Beach to North Beverly." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Nathan Tavares
