Boston Restaurant Sam LaGrassa Sells Good but Expensive Sandwiches | Eater Boston

"A beloved family-owned Downtown Boston sandwich shop since 1968, this spot has been dishing out piping hot lunches from a menu of more than 50 sandwiches and is best known for its pastrami. The Pastrami Diablo is pricey ($29.95) but otherworldly, with pastrami slathered in chipotle mayo and barbecue sauce, plus jack cheese and applewood-smoked bacon on a roll—regulars even split it to defray the cost. It’s Thanksgiving any day with the Gobbler ($23.95), a grilled tortilla wrap stuffed with turkey, cranberry sauce, sausage stuffing, spinach, chipotle mayo, and pepperjack cheese, and the chicken sandwiches are unsung heroes, especially the mammoth chicken cutlet Parmigiana ($23.95) with two cutlets smothered in marinara and melted mozzarella. Sandwiches start at $20 and can quickly exceed $30; it’s a really good sandwich, but I wouldn’t be inclined to splurge more than once or twice a year—if you have a corporate credit card, now’s the time to use it. This isn’t only for meat-lovers: there are a few vegetarian sandwiches and a savory vegan wrap with vegan mozzarella, caramelized onions, and roasted veggies, plus gluten-free wraps available for just about any sandwich. If you need to grab something quick, the takeout counter is the move, and the team can turn a decadent sandwich around in minutes." - Celina Colby
