Sausage, egg, cheese sandwiches, coffee, and Roast Beef 1000
"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." - Nathan Tavares
"This bustling lunch stop is where locals gather for well-executed sandwiches made with all-natural meats and cheeses, and much of the produce comes from the neighborhood’s own Allandale Farm. Soups and salads are also on the menu." - Erika Adams
"A sandwich-focused shop that made the list for its sandwiches and contribution to the city's casual, handheld-food offerings." - Erika Adams

"At Cutty’s in Brookline Village, “hots” refers not to a spread but to a mix of sliced pickled cherry peppers and banana peppers; co-owner Rachel Kelsey says that calling any pickled hot pepper “hots” was second nature to her and that many customers still ask, “what is ‘H-O-T-S’?” Cutty’s is described as a lunch spot that sells skillfully crafted sandwiches, ultra-fresh salads, seasonal soups, and homemade snacks and cookies." - Luke Pyenson
