October 8, 20196 yr The "Nashville Hot Brisket Sandwich" from Firehouse Subs, described as: "This sub features slow-smoked USDA Choice beef brisket freshly sliced with a kick of spicy Nashville Hot seasoning, spicy pickle chips, mayo, sweet and tangy slaw and melted pepper jack cheese served on a toasted cornbread roll." What could possibly be wrong with that? Here's a link to the commercial: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/o8OC/firehouse-subs-nashville-hot-brisket-equipment-for-first-responders Edited October 8, 20196 yr by AustinMT
October 8, 20196 yr Where and how are they cooking all these briskets? Certainly isn't at the store. And they all have to be presliced.
October 8, 20196 yr Thought this was going to be about something @Brisketexan posted in the @Steel Shank thread.

October 8, 20196 yr No Texas based sauce where beef is the king of bbq, and slaw on the sandwich? Go over like a turd in the punch bowl. CHIEF
October 8, 20196 yr Toasted cornbread roll? what in the actual fuck? I mean, I'm down with crum'lin that sumbeech in a bowl, dropping the brisket, sauce, and some raw onion and japs and going to town Cornbread ain't s'posed to hold a sammich...

October 9, 20196 yr I recently saw a brisket sandwich at a local Chicago restaurant that was served on a brioche bun with aioli sauce and cole slaw.

Grilled chicken, manchego cheese...it’s good.
October 9, 20196 yr Someone go buy one and post a picture of it so I can cross post it to the Buck's BBQ thread.

October 9, 20196 yr that's some burnt end cornbread. Not judging, but not my accustomed style, either.

October 9, 20196 yr It was. Can't hit home runs unless you swing the bat. Not all are home runs. But, I ate it. And it was good enough. Edited October 9, 20196 yr by Steel Shank
October 9, 20196 yr I mean, clearly all these schmoes are capitalizing on BBQ mania, and to the extent anyone's expecting decent smoked brisket, well yeah, that's an abomination. But we all know better than to expect that. Firehouse seems especially confused, with brisket, cornbread and hot chicken sauce, but, whatever. There are edible and tasty forms of brisket that aren't centex-style smoked. Personally, I think they should come with horseradish rather than other sauces/condiments. Hell . . . . Jews have been doing brisket longer than Texans have. Edited October 9, 20196 yr by TwiceHorn

October 9, 20196 yr Nah, not pastrami. Jewish holiday brisket, a/k/a roast beef. It's kosher and cheap.

October 10, 20196 yr The Jewish holiday brisket got me thinking about one of my favorite Samuel L. Bronkowitz movies. possibly NSFW "She was six feet of black dynamite!"

How Passover Brisket Became Texas Barbecue https://www.foodandwine.com/meat-poultry/beef/brief-history-brisket Reminds me of the time a few years back when we were doing a big BBQ up at our church in NW Austin after a community day of service -- I need 6 briskets. Hit the HEB Far West....they're out. Randall's on Mesa. Out. HEB at Braker....out. I finally ask the butcher why in the hell nobody has any briskets -- he just smiles and says "Rosh Hashanah." Fuck. So I need 6 briskets. But I need to look for them someplace that my jewish friends don't shop..... Got it..... Success. I do love a good jewish roasted brisket, though. It's a totally different thing, but good stuff.
October 10, 20196 yr One of the oddities of UT. Despite all the Illinois and New York and California plates surrounding the Sammy and ZBT houses, there were a number of Jews that were more Texan (been here longer by a pretty far shot than most) than any gentile you cared to name. And some of em were pretty "country" too. I remember one bunch of guys had a buck mounted above their fireplace, complete with prayer shawl. Edited October 10, 20196 yr by TwiceHorn

And it's not an affectation -- a lot of their families have been in Texas longer than some parts of mine. A metric shit ton came through Galveston in the early 1900s.

I have been told by a guy that went around lecturing on "everything you wanted to know about Jews but were afraid to ask" that many Jewish immigrants headed for New York, and later New Orleans, were diverted to Galveston by Jews already in NY and NO to increase their opportunities and to "de-concentrate" Jews in NY and NO so they suffered less of the fate of Irish and Italian immigrants.

That was exactly the plan. It really is a fascinating bit of anthropology. But, back on topic...I imagine that every one of their descendants would also think that this trend of shitty brisket sandwiches is meshuggeh.
October 10, 20196 yr I'm thinking if they just removed the term "brisket" and called it "roast beef" people would think it was competent fast food. The issue is conflating fast food with a cuisine that's known for it's laborious process and artful approach.
