FINALLY returned and tried that burnt ends sandwich all the young people are talking about! I loved it, and I'm not even a brisket person. Very tender with just the right amount of crunch! It was actually kind of miraculous that they hadn't run out, since I ordered them at 6:30 on a busy Friday night! Fortune was smiling upon me, I guess.
Our table also split the cornbread as an appetizer, which was just a little bit spicy (and meaty, of course). Will other restaurants please jump on the savory cornbread train? I am straight-up tired of eating over-sweetened cornbread that tastes more like cake. Ugh. My boyfriend and I split a beer flight, which is a fantastic deal: you are getting essentially 24 oz of beer for just $6. And the little glasses all came out on a large wooden plate shaped like a dog bone! Too adorable.
The one not-so-good thing about our meal was the corn on the cob - it was mushy and flavorless and got stuck in our teeth! I know this is a little early for corn season, but shit, we ARE in the middle of Illinois - you'd think they could get corn right! Just stick with another side dish and you'll be fine.
