Cutty’s on Washington Street in Brookline has been one of the Boston area’s most celebrated sandwich operations since Charles Kelsey and Rachel Alllen opened it, building a menu around house-roasted meats, house-baked bread, and the kind of from-scratch sandwich program that earns a neighborhood lunch counter its national food media reputation in a city with a serious sandwich culture. It appeared in Season 15, Episode 5 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Massachusetts Madness,” which aired September 3, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Brookline sandwich kitchen doing everything from scratch — the bread, the roasted meats, the condiments — with the quality that makes a lunchtime sandwich worth planning your day around.

What to Eat
The Spuckie — Cutty’s take on the Italian sub, with house-roasted meats, sharp provolone, pickled peppers, and house-made dressing on house-baked bread — is the signature that built Cutty’s reputation and the sandwich most regulars order first. The Slow-Roasted Pork Sandwich with house-made salsa verde and pickled jalapeños is the other flagship that earns its own devoted following. The House-Baked Bread used for every sandwich is the foundation that makes Cutty’s more than a deli counter. The Daily Specials reflect what the kitchen roasted that morning.
