If there's one thing I learned from this list of best sandwiches from Boston magazine, it's this: I really have to get out more.

I've heard of all of these restaurants, but I haven't had any of the sandwiches. God, between this and my other recent admission, you'd think I didn't eat anything but pizza and candy. That's not a bad guess, but it's just that I haven't tried these establishments yet. But having a list like this makes you say "hey, I want to try that!", so it has accomplished one of its goals.

Deluca's on Newbury Street wins for Best Roast Beef; the Union Bar and Grille wins for Best Reuben; Darwin's wins the award for Best Egg Salad; the Flour Bakery + Cafe gets the nod for B.L.T.; the Appleton Bakery + Cafe gets Best Ham and Cheese; Best Meatloaf goes to Solas; Pemberton Farms wins for Best Traditional Turkey; and the Parish Cafe gets the award for Best Tuna Salad.

This is part one, by the way. In the next issue will be sandwiches they call "The New Classics." Which will probably be even more sandwiches I haven't tried yet.

A good Reuben is my benchmark for any deli/sandwich shop.

Oh how I miss the Parish Cafe. They used to have this sandwich called the Schlesinger (named after chef Chris Schlesinger) that had melted monterey jack cheese on banana bread ham and mango chutney. It sounds strange but it was amazing!

But hey, how can the best roast beef in Boston be anywhere besides Kelly's?

Heh...Deidre, that's very true about Kelly's.

By the way, I think the Parish Cafe still has that sandwich. I read something about it in another mag or paper, maybe The Phoenix. I gotta get over there one of these days.
