In Massachusetts, specifically and especially in the North Shore, roast beef sandwiches are deeply ingrained in the culture. The options are abundant when it comes to toppings. Whether you prefer yours with cheese and slathered in barbecue sauce (3-way) or with nothing at all. When you’re looking for a hearty and robust sandwich, the North Shore has it locked down.
