I've been trying for a week or so
to find the motivation to walk down to 78th Street to try
this new meat place. Life has been doing it's best to make sure I
just don't have the time to do it. After spending a Saturday morning
cleaning my bathroom and vacuuming the rugs I decided that a good
corned beef sandwich would make for an excellent reward.
David's Brisket House is
supposedly a relatively well known place to get a samitch down on
Nostrand Avenue in Bed Stuy. They've just opened up a location on
5th Avenue between 77th and 78th
Street. And if there's a new place to get meaty goodness in Bay
Ridge you best believe I'm going to get over there right quick.
I got myself a corned beef
sandwich and a brisket sandwich, both on rye. I got both in a medium
size. And the medium size is plenty stuffed. The thought of one
bigger than these is a little intimidating. The corned beef was
excellent. Didn't even really need any mustard. The brisket wasn't
quite as good as the corned beef but still plenty good. The mustard
brought more to the party on this sandwich. Half of each sandwich
was plenty. Actually, half of each sandwich was just a touch too
much for me. Of course, I also had some cole slaw and potato salad.
Both were really tasty. I don't know if it was homemade but it was
damned good. And it certainly tasted fresh. The cabbage was crispy
and the dressing slightly tart in the cole slaw. The potato salad
just had a great taste. I could gladly eat a pound of that. I
initially wanted fries but they don't have a Fryolater just yet.
That was a happy thing though as I'm glad to have gotten the slaw and
potato salad instead.
This was totally worth the 12
block walk. And now I'll have another half and half sandwich for
lunch tomorrow while I'm watching football. I'll let you all know
how the pastrami is when I get around to trying it sometime in the
future. For now I'll just say it's about time there was a place in
Bay Ridge where you can get some excellent slow-cooked sammies. I'm
a happy fella and I'll be going back.
