Eleventh Street Diner

I’ve been to this deli several times and it’s been pretty satisfying (but expensive). My parents came downtown to visit and my mom wanted to head over there and try it. 

Well, I have to say, this experience didn’t belong with the rest. I’m not one to gush over food unless it’s head over heels, knee slapping delicious but that’s exactly what the Schwartsky beef brisket sandwich (or however the hell you spell it) was. It’s the kind of meal you feel bad taking additional bites of because you don’t want it to end. It was that good. The meat must’ve sat in the slow cooker for two weeks. The beef was seasoned just right and the bun - sort of a soft, warm pretzel roll - melted in my mouth. The sandwich needed nothing… no cheese, no condiments and no au jus - utter bliss. 

If anyone is a fan of beef brisket and deli sandwiches - take a trip to the Eleventh street deli. (Wabash and Roosevelt-ish) Its pricey but completely worth it.  Incase you’re wondering, the answer is yes. I am a spokesperson for the restaurant!
