Cutty's Week, Day 5: The Saturday Special Pork Tortas
Making the pork for these Saturday sandwiches (both $8.95) itself is a three-day process: the shoulder roast gets coated in the same spice rub that Kelsey uses on the beef and cures for two days. (The result, he says, is "a dead ringer for guanciale.") Then he slow-roasts it and chills it overnight; that way, it reabsorbs all its flavorful juices and slices cleanly.Cutty's Week, Day 4: The Spuckies
The Spuckie ($4.10/half, $7.95/whole) is the only sandwich on the menu with a real history, Kelsey says. Originally when he was dreaming up his business, he'd envisioned a muffaletta truck. Sometime after the truck plan evolved into a brick-and-mortar op, the muffaletta turned into the Spuckie, South Boston's take on the Big Easy classic.Cutty's Week, Day 3: Broccoli Rabe Torta
Affectionately dubbed "the sleeper hit of the shop," this Wednesday special ($7.50) was born out of leftovers from some of Cutty's bigger-name sensations. The sautéed broccoli rabe and the crispy, sesame-studded Iggy's roll comes from Saturday's Pork Rabe Torta; hand-pulled fresh mozzarella from the Spuckie; and their kickass tangy-sweet tomato jam from the seasonal, can't-wait-for-/can't-let-go-of-summer BLTJ.Cutty's Week, Day 2: The Spicy Pork Torta
A celebrity* invented this sandwich, but that's not why it became famous. According to Kelsey, the Spicy Pork Torta ($7.99) is another one of those examples of the staff mixing and matching X,Y, and Z from the raw materials they keep on hand, and coming up with something amazing.Cutty's Week Day 1: The Roast Beef 1,000
It makes up half of the shop's sales (to keep up with demand, Kelsey roasts 200 pounds of beef every week.) It brings customers in from Worcester. It's widely considered the best roast beef sandwich in town—and Boston is a roast beef sandwich kinda town. We're talking Cutty's Roast Beef 1,000.Welcome To Cutty's Week. Here's Your Breakfast.
Between Saturday's roast pork and Tuesday's pork carnitas, there's a lot of pork cooking at Cutty's. That also means there's a lot of pork fat rendering at Cutty's, and the staff recently came up with a brilliant way to use it: pork fat biscuits. Consider this the other "bread" option for your AM sandwich, the rich, craggy biscuit done up with thin-sliced ham, cheese, housemade pickle chips, and, as a nod to the South, red-eye mayo.Brookline, MA: Butterscotch Pudding and Brioche Rolls at Lineage Restaurant
Besides cousin Mark Sewell's Maine lobsters and the exposed wood-fired oven, chef/owner Jeremy Sewell's Lineage Restaurant in Brookline's Coolidge Corner has two claims to fame: its butterscotch pudding and its brioche dinner rolls.Brookline, MA: Black Pasta, Squid-ink Linguine, at The Daily Catch
Squid, and squid ink in particular, is something I've started eating only recently—one of those things that always skeeved me out as a kid that I just never gave a chance until much later on. Now I can't get enough of it, and I make a point of ordering murky, black-ink-stained food whenever I see it on a menu.A Sandwich A Day: The Pork Rabe Saturday Special From Cutty's in Brookline, MA
If you haven't noticed yet, we're big fans of Cutty's, husband and wife team Charles Kelsey and Rachel Toomey's sandwich shop in Brookline. It's the epitome of a neighborhood lunch spot: super friendly service, talented, smart, and hard working owners, staff that seem genuinely proud of their work, and of course, awesome food. My new favorite on the menu is their Saturday-only slow-roasted Pork Rabe ($8.95). Based on the Philadelphia classic, it starts with pork shoulder that's cured overnight in a salt and pepper rub before being slow-roasted.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
