Best of Boston

2013 Best Sandwich

Cutty’s

After 40 years of Best of Boston, it takes a lot to shock us. But if you told us that we would eat a sandwich that doesn’t even have meat—Cutty’s eggplant spuckie, a ciabatta roll filled with mozzarella, olive-carrot salad, and, of course, roasted eggplant—and that it’d be one of the best sandwiches we’ve ever eaten, we’d be shocked. Guess what? We were shocked. Also great: the sandwiches that actually have meat (go Saturday for the special pork).
