/[5 Thumbs Up]
[Dood…look at this brisket sandwich. Tastes like juicy heaven.]
This is the first (and very possibly only) place that gets a perfect flavor score in my book. No lie. This place is absolutely the best. If I had a choice between losing my limbs in an industrial accident and losing Brent’s, it’d be a tough choice. I’d probably choose to keep my arms, but it’d be a tough choice. It’s located on the corner of Parthenia and Corbin, and it seems unassuming enough; but if you go between the hours of 10am and 2pm, you’ll find nothing but a congested parking lot. People seriously fill up the parking lots to eat at this place everyday. I went during a Wednesday during noon, and had to circle the lot until I just gave up and went the valet route. (Valet’s free with validation.)
[Black Pastrami, Kraut, Toasted Rye, Russian dressing.]
[A must-get for n00bs. This will pWn your tastebuds with flavor.]
Once you get past the lines. You get overwhelmed with awesome food choices. Seriously, everything’s good. But if you need help, you can select anything marked with a special looking B, or something that’s covered with a box on their MENU. But here’s the thing that sucks. This meal’s gonna hit you in the pocketbook, and it’s gonna hit you hard. The food ain’t cheap, but I definitely say that it’s worth it. They seriously offer the Rolls-Royce of sandwiches, so just freaking splurge every once-in-a-while. And to give a comparison, the sandwiches from Jerry’s deli would be like a Toyota Yaris; overpriced for what it is and just bad for human beings.
[This is actually how big the sandwiches are: No Lie!!]
Another plus about this place are the portions. Looking at the picture above, you can see that these are massive amounts of food. It’s perfect for eating half there, and saving the other half to take to work and escape to a world of sandwich bliss. They cook the brisket and pastrami so well that it can survive the microwave with tons of moisture. Re-heatable? Yes. Re-eatable? Oh hell yes!!
If you like good food; try this place.
Even if you don’t like food; try this place.
Just freaking go.
