Best of Boston

Gigantic sandwich? Or gigantic cookie? Such are the tough choices at Something Natural, an out-of-the-way eatery with a fiercely loyal following. Meals can be brown-bagged for the beach or enjoyed at one of the picnic tables that dot the lawn, and lunch orders like Sheila’s Favorite (mayo, Swiss, carrots, pickles, and tomatoes on home-baked oatmeal bread) and turkey salad with Granny Smith apples and raisins on wheat provide a solid base for what regulars know is a flawless chocolate chip. (Actually, now that we think about it, it’s not a tough call after all: Obviously, you get the gigantic sandwich and the gigantic cookie.)
