cutty's

Cutty's is a 16-seat sandwich shop in the heart of Brookline. A small spot that has deservedly garnered fame for its care, detail, and attention to lovingly prepared high-quality sandwiches. Sourcing ingredients locally when possible, but always using the best of the best, Cutty's manages to take basic sandwiches to the next level with its quality.

This past Sunday was Cutty's fried chicken day, only selling fried chicken from 10am until they ran out, regular menu sandwiches were not available.  Good thing I went Saturday then...to get to try the best selling sandwich, the roast beef 1000 (but with turkey instead). Consisting of slow-roasted beef (or turkey), crispy fried shallots, house-made 1000 island dressing, sharp cheddar, and a peppered Iggy's brioche bun, there is no question as to why this is their best-selling gem. Perfectly balanced with the best ratios, no single ingredient out-shines the other. Pure tastiness in one sandwich!
 

 

Also of note are their housemade potato chips, cream-less tomato soup, and anything else really. Next stop in will be for a ham pimento, a ham dijon, and a pork rabe. Okay...maybe I should share some of those. Now accepting applications for 2 friends with great taste in food to split 3 mouth-wateringly amazing sandwiches ASAP!

simple weekend recap: edition 11

Friday after work I met up with a friend to try the Boylston location of the Parish Cafe (information here). A minute-walk from the Arlington T station, the Parish Cafe uses recipes for sandwiches provided by chefs all across Boston (along with an amazing cocktail menu). I went with the L'Espalier, created by the chef & owner of L'Espalier, Frank McClelland. A tasty combination of fresh Maine crab meat mixed with a homemade remoulade served open faced on toasted brioche topped with sliced avocado and mango. Served with Cape Cod potato chips and salted greens. I also opted for the Stella al fresco, absolut Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka mixed with fresh lime juice, simple syrup and Ruby Red Grapefruit juice. Shaken and served straight up with a splash of Sprite. Delicious & generously strong.

Saturday, Erin & I spent some time with the leaves and pumpkins...

 

 

 

...before heading out to a friend's new place in the South End. We went to Aquitaine for an early dinner with their prix fixe menu that is offered from 5:30-6:30 nightly. A 3-course meal with a glass of wine for $29.95, a steal for a large-portioned French dinner in Boston! I will definitely be back for the regular menu.

We slept in and started the day on the right foot

 with a BLT with baby spinach and grape tomatoes... 

...before a walk through the dog park with Erin on a perfect fall day.

 

 

 

When the sun began to set, we headed home for a dinner of squash 

risotto and some pumpkin carving (and seed toasting!)...

 

 

 

before ending the weekend with a dessert snack 

of homemade banana bread and tea.
