A Michigan teen finishing off an Arby's roast beef sandwich chomped down on something tough that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out. Turns out it tasted like finger. The fleshy, severed pad of an unfortunate employee's finger, apparently. Ryan Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday that once he got a good look at it, he knew right away what had been in the junior roast beef sandwich he was eating last Friday. "I was like, 'That (has) to be a finger,"' Hart said.

When D.J. Lawton was a kid he regularly devoured roast beef sandwiches from Mur-Mac's in Stoughton. The restaurant closed, but the succulent beef on a buttered toasted bun is seared in his memory. Lawton, now 25, graduated from Boston University a few years ago and wanted to run his own business. Last year he opened Roast Beast, a tiny spot in the basement of an Allston apartment building, where a sign with an adorable cow greets you, and sandwiches are fashioned after those from his once-favorite eatery.

Adam (sure I'll eat that Scotch bonnet-studded side of beef and that pound of curly fries) Richman is hosting a new Travel Channel show/contest called "Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America. " And it works just like you'd think. He and his producers purportedly scoured the nation to find the 30 best sandwiches "from 27 cities in ten geographical regions. " (Do we even have 10 geographic regions?) OK, so what do they pick from New England? Maybe an old school lobster roll from Red's in Wiscasset, Maine?

Taste is fickle, and like a schoolgirl who falls in love with one boy after another, its affections are boundless. Not only that, but our taste buds aren’t prejudiced and can thrill equally over a top chef’s expensive dish, a simple soup, or that American mainstay, the sandwich. Which explains how I found myself eating two sandwiches at once last week, and raving, between bites, that they were the most delicious things I’d ever had. We were at Circe’s Grotto in Scituate, and the sandwiches in question were the portobello mushroom, roasted red pepper, and chevre on grilled flatbread ($7)

However, I realized one morning that being around little kids sometimes takes its toll. I walked into Dunkin' Donuts and placed my order for "Two bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches on Sesame Street bagels. " Oops! Andrea Brown Berman / Revere
