Food Paradise, Season 13, Episode 10
This episode ('All in the Family') featured Sam LaGrassa's, a longstanding delicatessen at 44 Province St in downtown Boston known for its stacked corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. This location matches an existing record for the same business already in the database (recorded there as Sam LaGrassa's), so this entry is logged as a repeat appearance rather than a new record. Google Places lists the location's business status as operational, and the deli's own website (samlagrassas.com) remains active, though its page could not be read in detail during this check.
