So how did Food Network star Guy Fieri, who grew up on a macrobiotic diet, make a career out of chowing down burgers at Diners, Drive-ins and Dives all over the USA?

Locals claim they’re serving the world’s best sandwiches here, and they may not be lying. Try their best-seller, the Chipotle Pastrami topped with coleslaw and pressed on a double-faced grill

This place has the very best sandwiches. I feel like I am in a New York deli here. It is amazing to watch how smoothly this place runs with lines out the door.

You’re newly entrenched in Boston, whether for work, school, or travel, and you only have one question: What to eat? No baked beans, for starters. The city has long moved past those staid, soggy staples.

Few sandwiches elicit such passionate responses like a classic pastrami sandwich. As one deli owner told me, “The Reuben and the pastrami are the Adam and Eve of deli sandwiches. Everything else came from there.”

Sam LaGrassa and his sons Rob, Ronnie, and Richie, work in the restaurant each day it’s open. “You’ll always find my dad behind the counter, and the customers love him,” Rob says. “He still has the same love and passion for sandwiches that he did 47 years ago.”

The magic happens when it’s toasted and the buttered bread turns golden and crisp, the cheese melts, and the meat warms.

Sam Lagrassa’s makes the best sandwiches in Boston, no question. Its perfectly greasy hot sandwiches are a favorite of men and women that work in the financial district.

(NECN) – Saying you serve the “World’s No. 1 Sandwiches” is a pretty big statement, but that’s exactly what the TV Diner team found during a recent visit to Sam LaGrassa’s in Boston.

Sam La Grassa’s specializes in great sandwiches and personalized service. For over 38 years, our family run store at 44 Province Street has been the “Number 1 Sandwich Place in Boston.”
