Being from Montreal, I crave a proper smoked meat. New York can deliver but Toronto has always disappointed. I had high hopes for Caplansky's. The sandwich was OK. I found the meat dry despite having ordered medium (as in medium-fat, not cooking). It was also a bit smokier than many of the other smoked meats I've had. I love smoked brisket, but I'm not sure if I like a more intense smokiness in smoked meat (quite different from BBQ).
I'll probably go back and give it another shot, but my hopes and expectations are much lower now.
