| - How could I live so close to this place, but have never tried it?
I had a day off, so my friend suggested we try Mister Brisket. Oooh. "Oh, this has been the top of the yelp list!" I exclaimed. So off we went.
Mister Brisket is definitely one of those hole in the wall place. We parked in the old Rite Aid plaza, crossed the street and entered the small sandwich shops. The people were super friendly behind the counter, and when I asked the guy what was good, he was like, "everything!" with a big smile. Hmmmm.
So we studied the chalkboard and as the sandwiches looked gigantic, we both ordered budget boxes (small sandwich, with chips, cookies, and a pop..for around $7! What a deal!). Got our sandwiches quickly and walked to Cain Park to go eat them.
She got the corned beef sandwich. Mmmm. That corned beef is really good. Usually, I would never order corned beef because it's usually dosed in salt high enough to cause you to have a stroke, but really, the corned beef was just right- not too salty, and just plain good. I got the pastrami sandwich. Ooh baby, that's good.
My only gripe about the food was that the bread...kind of sucks. I mean, it's just.. bread from Schwebels (which is fine, btw). But I feel with that caliber of meat, why didn't they have amazing bread with it? Perhaps I've been spoiled with the Zingermans of Ann Arbor and what not, but....man, change that bread. It's so smooshy and flimsy. If they got some good hearty crunchy bread with that meat..it would be amazing.
Nonetheless, worth the try!
