I love Flour Bakery +for their fresh sandwiches made with house baked whole wheat foccacia, but I am looking for other places around that are just as good (or maybe even better!).
Thanks!

Oh yes. And how could I forget my one true-love? Carne Asada torta at Tacos Lupita.

Now I'm really thinking about this I'd add:
- Cubano at Chez Henri
- Soft shell crab sando at Courthouse (in season)
- Artichoke and fontina at Dave's Fresh
- Prego at J+J Food

Don't forget the lobster salad sandwich at Alive n Kicking (Cambridge). I clearly have a sandwich fetish.

Second the Roast Lamb with Marinated Eggplant at Artu. Still superb after all these years.

Some of my standbys:
- Fern's Problem-Solver @ Hi-Rise
- Texas Reuben @ All-Star
- "Cubano" Torta @ Olecito
- Cuban Reuben @ Highland Kitchen
- Banh Mi @ Mix and/or Pho Viet
- Presunto e Queijo Fresco @ Atasca
- grilled PBJ+banana+nutella on When Pigs Fly apple-cinnamon bread at my house (I just thought of this, and haven't actually tried it yet, but it's almost certain to be the greatest thing ever)
At the lower end, I admit to weaknesses for:
- Boston College @ Kiraz
- Chicken/Hummus @ Cheddar's
- The Navaho @ The Cheesecake Factory

My friend and I have been in search for the best traditional reuben in the City. What we have found so far is that the edge goes to Sam La Grassa. Mike's in Brookline comes close. The beef at Mikes may be a bit better, but not quite good enough.
Thoughts, comments, recomendations?

Definitely and wholeheartedly second Sammy's. Their reuben is head and shoulders over any other reuben in town and a few in reuben-esque cities like New York.
44 Province St, Boston, MA 02108

Just for an FYI, Tutto Italiano in the NE closed this summer. He reopened in the old Martignetti's space and it's now called DePasquale's Pasta; but Joe from Tutto is running it. Same great sandwiches.
Fresh Cheese reopened on Fleet in the old Tutto space..also make a good sandwich.
I'm a fan of many of the above mentioned. Hot Tomatoes makes great sandwiches; favorites of mine are meatball or bolognese. A friend loves the veggie.
Pizzeria Rico on Bromfield makes a great Thxgiving sandwich, fresh roasted turkey( no turkey roll, white and dark meat, stuffing, gravy and cranberry. Thurs only.

Volle Nolle, on Hanover in the North End, is the most unassuming , tiny place with the best sandwiches. My favorite is the chicken breast with roasted peppers and onions,spinach, basil mayonnaise and mozzarella, all warm and melty on a baguette.

Great sandwich!
Pace's is making an imitation but it's not nearly as good.

Just to clarify- the meridian special is prosciutto, chicken cutlet, bocconcini, roasted peppers, basil & olive oil. it all goes together so well.
The chicken parm sub is killer too.

Two of my favorites are, the potato & egg at Sam Scola's in the North End, and any cold cut sub at Previte's in Weymouth. Hard to beat in my opinion. Let's not get into the Elsie's discussion again.
Enjoy,
CocoDan

The Schlesinger at the Parish Cafe...come on, it's made with banana bread...heaven. I just went looking for it and it's only on as a summer special :(

I love the grilled Texas brisket sandwich at LaGrassa (despite the fact that it's not barbecue), and their Italian steak sandwich - pretty sure it's sliced london broil, gorgonzola, bechamel, and caramelized onions.
Chacarero is a given (regular chicken with orangey hot sauce).
I think I had some kind of torta at that place on Bedford Street that was actually pretty good.
Hot Tomatoes sloppy joe is great

Looks like Chacarero upped their sandwich prices again - small regular chicken now $7.
Permalink | Reply
Their prices are getting to be a bit much for a chicken sandwich with green beans and avocado spread. If I am going to pay $9 for a sandwich (I usually get a large), I rather spend that same $9 at Sam LaGrassa's.
Permalink | Reply
Just had the same conversation with one of my coworkers, however, it's still slightly cheaper than LaGrassa, and still something that I have to eat at least 2 times a week. I do think that I might be more inclined to go to LaGrassa's when all things are equal now, though.
