Let's Find the BEST North Shore Roast Beef Sandwich - Boston, MA Vlog

Ойын-сауық

Like everyone who takes a trip to Boston, I did nothing but eat roast beef sandwiches. Once I learned about the legendary North Shore beef sandwiches I couldn't resist trying as many as I could stuff down. Let's find out who was the best!

    Having had the original sandwich from Kelly's at Revere beach beginng in the late 50's continuing through today. None of todays sandwiches compare to those and 3 way wasn't a thing in those days. Jamie's is ok but not even in my top 5. To get the real deal it has to be hunted and it's always a small Mom-Pop shop. I go back quite a few times a year and always get my sandwiches from the same places each time. Sometimes change isn't good and these sandwiches are an example of that. I now make my own here in upstate NY. I do a short smoking of the seasoned roast and then sous vide it at 125 for 22 to 24 hours. After cooling a bit I slice it thin but not shaved. Last week I did 6 lbs of beef invited the family over and they ate it all. This time I tried kimmelwick buns, I'll be using those again. Enjoyed the video now you have to go back and try the whole belly fried clams and fried scallops for a real treat. 😊

    Man this video brings back memories. I loved the week I spent in Boston in 2001. I have loved Arby's since I was a kid. Our Grandma Pezzi used to get us bags of Beef N Cheddars as a special treat. I'd get bags of the Classic Roast Beef when they were 5/$5. I'd even eat them cold out of the fridge. After my week in Boston in which I must have eaten over a dozen Roast Beef sandwiches, I bought Arby's shortly after I got back. I didn't eat Arby's again for another 10 years. It wasn't even close. Jamie's wasn't around when I was there and my friend moved after 9-11, but Jamie's make Boston sound like a good vacation trip. I went back to Arby's simply because outside of Hardee's Roast Beef sandwich, not many places here in Milwaukee do it and none I can find do it like Boston. I love pizza but would definitely go more for the Roast Beef. I'm just not a thin pizza guy. When I was in New York, yeah the pizza was good, but it was thin. I like a good hand-tossed or Detroit-Style. It was great hearing the real joy in your voice being with your friends and the peace on your face walking in the wooded trail.

    These blow away a beef on weck. THAT SAID, a beef on weck really is the most comparable thing you're gonna find to these, save for that weird kimmelweck roll. I can get that here in Charlotte, but not these. Plus the whole super thinly sliced beef thing doesn't make its way to the beef on weck.

    Im from Oregon, on a long ass road trip (22 months now) where New Haven was kinda our final destination. We make our own sourdough pizza at home so wanted to be educated on a different style. Let me tell you ...there is NOTHING like Sallys pizza. Anywhere else. We tried almost every apizza place we came across....pepes, modern, whoever else, doesnt even compare. The crispness, the char, the juicy tomato sauce with lovely cooked cheese....it is *special* highly recommend you try it

    DeLucia in Rariton NJ was also very special. They call that one a tomato pie though. Absolutely loved it, crisp crust, nice char flavor also, but a drier dough so it ends up slightly more crackery. But my favorite part was that the cheese was very cooked and that caused the fat to separate and coat the entire pizza and almost make it taste like it was drizzled with butter 🤤

    As a Bostonian and big fan of beefs I think the places you chose and the rankings were pretty much right on point. Gotta try Kelly's, but it's not the best. Jamie's for sure is. It was cool you checked out a couple less traditional spots like hotbox and cusser's, and couple solid but less famous hole-in-the-walls like Zeno's (the only one I haven't tried) and Skampa. Skampa is for sure the best one not really on the north shore, it's where I usually go when I don't feel like driving north. I'm not a huge fan of cusser's, but otherwise you ranked them just the way I would have.

    Atha's in Peabody and Tessi's and Tewksbury are two of my favorites. I would actually recommend getting jr. beefs, not supers there because they are still ENORMOUS at both places and supers will throw of the beef to cheese/mayo/sauce ratio imo. Also I've heard Modern Butcher in Danvers does arguably the best around but they only do them on certain days and there's always a line. I haven't made the pilgrimage yet. If you're looking for another classic like Kelly's, Nick's roast beef (several locations) has been in the game for years and is probably worth the experience. And closer to Boston is Mike's in Everett (by the encore casino) which can be polarizing but it's also an old school classic (i personally think it is very good).
