CORNED BEEF COMA!
Flight delay = Happy BF and GF when brunch is at Corky &Lenny's!
The BF has been talking my ear off about the corned beef here and how heavenly it is. It was an obvious decision when stranded in Cleveland for an additional 6+ hours due to a "missing plane part".
This place is so unassuming, located in a strip mall. It's a lot bigger in size then the outside lets on. Seat yourself in the big cafeteria like room. Service is authentic, albeit a little on the slow side. The warmth in our waitresses smile forgave the slow service.
The menu is large and was a bit overwhelming for me, a bit out of my norm. Not a lot of Jewish Deli's in CO. I was in a breakfast mood and not feeling like ordering corned beef - I know, it's a sin! Luckily the BF was ordering the corned beef sandwich so I knew I would be able to try at least a little of his. The Challah French toast spoke to me and I did exactly what it told me, ordered it! I needed an order of latkes, potato is all you have to say and I'm all in.
The corned beef is, in a word, delectable. It was moist, flavorful, and was piled high in between two scrumptious latkes. The corned beef paired well with the all important, Stadium Mustard, a Cleveland tradition I hear. I found myself sinking each bite of corned beef into the pool of Stadium Mustard on my plate. I want my own squeeze bottle to pair with everything I eat, my new ketchup. My Challah French toast was good, not nearly as memorable as the corned beef. The corned beef in any combination should be ordered for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - no exceptions.
*I'm kicking myself for not reading Yelp reviews sooner or I would have known to ask for pickles. I'm a new pickle lover and needed some of these in my life. I'm heartbroken over missing these famous pickles. Next visit for sure.
