Cutty’s, the sandwich shop from former Gourmet staffer Charles Kelsey that we told you about in October, will open next week and we’ve got a sneak preview of the menu. The focus here is on classic sandwiches with creative touches, like egg salad topped with radishes and oven-dried olives. Kelsey tells us, however, that if all that sounds a little too creative, the Cutty’s staff will be happy to make you a plain egg salad sandwich. There’s a nice selection of soups and snacks (including pimento cheese spread!), but the menu’s most exciting entry may be the porchetta sandwich with garlic confit and pickled fennel that will be served each Saturday. Cutty’s is slated to open at 284 Washington Street on Wednesday.
