Just not what it used to be.
I've been going to Schwartz's since I was a young child, and have watched the quality slip steadily over the last 5 years. It's been most notable since Celine Dion bought it. The brisket just doesn't have the same flavour it used to, and it's often dry and stringy. Still a solid sandwich, but certainly not worth the line-up when there is one.
