When it comes to the best North Shore roast beef, you can go to the pros. Or you can just take my word for it. And Joe Murray’s word, too.
I’m Adam 12, newly-minted Executive Producer of Toucher & Hardy. I’m from Greenwood, which is the part of Wakefield that borders Melrose and Saugus. I lived there through the ’80s and ’90s, so I’m a crafty North Shore veteran.
I grew up eating my way up and down Rt. 1. Birthday dinners on my mom’s side of the family took place at the Hilltop Steak House. Birthday dinners on my dad’s side took place at the Kowloon. I’ve crushed my fair share of beefs, too.
