Here are the food mag's picks for the best versions in the city:

1. Neptune Oyster.

2. B&G Oysters.

3. Yankee Lobster.

4. Alive and Kicking. No website, but here's the info: 269 Putnam Ave., Cambridge, 617-876-0451. (Of course, it's not really a lobster roll but a lobster sandwich, with a ton of meat on toasted, buttered scali bread. Still, it works for me -- I love the urban lobster pound feeling, and snarfing my sandwich in the sun at a parking lot table where the guys who run the place sit reading the paper.)

5. LTK.

6. Great Bay.

7. Summer Shack.

8. James Hook.

What do you think? Right on, or an utter travesty? Did any key roll get left off the list? (Other than the one you make at home, of course.)

The Recipe Box Project:

If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
