Eat, Drink, & Be Merry

With it only one week away who has plans to drink themselves silly?
Who plans on eating the sacred corned beef sandwich, and where are you getting it from.
Hopefully, my sandwich is already lined up.

CJ's cafe in Willoughby on Euclid Ave. is good
Micks's Pub also on Euclid Ave. in Willoughby is good.
Obviously Slymann's.

Ahh, the annual corned beef thread...

Where's JB? :pop:

FYI, natch' love Slymann's...Mick's is really good...Had an excellent one for lunch @ Lola's (only $9 with homemade slaw & fries)

by **dem425** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 10:33 pm

A lot is made of Slyman's CB sandwiches but I would present an alternative..........

At the corner of E30th and Superior is Superior Deli..........As good a CB as Slyman's if not better........Matter of fact, rumor has it they are somehow related......Try it when the line at Slymans is too long.

by **Larvell Blanks** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:18 am

If you're in the Parma/Old Brooklyn area, syop in at Goodwin's Samdwich Inn in the Pearl/Brook Plaza. Great deli sandwiches that stand up to Slymans

by **Orenthal** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:59 pm

Done Goodman's and Slyman's one is chopped the other thiner sliced. oth are great, but I prefer my own corned beef with potatoes, cabbage, and carrots.

Fucking Irish.....

Why can't Germans have a pride day too?

I guess a bunch of Germans marching makes people nervous.

Never heard that before. Might have to try that out on some of my Irish friends.

You crack me up CDT.

FWIW anybody who hangs out in the Irish bars on the West side on this day is a freakin moron.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:15 pm

CDT, I am with you, I am all for any holiday that encourages taking off work and getting shit faced drunk. Start your German holiday and I will celebrate with you.

Oktoberfest isn't celebrated like St. Patricks day. Only by pockets of actual Germans, Schmidts (Man Vs Food) has the only real Oktoberfest celebration around here. And it's not a month, it's 16 days. It's ironic, in Ireland St. Patricks day is a serious religious holiday, over here it's an excuse for non Irish to get drunk and eat "Irish food", which is hilarious because the Irish idea of cooking is to boil it for 19 hours.

BTW I really have no problem with the Irish or St Patricks day. Just poking fun at them. :cheers:

Funny you say that, I married into a 100% Irish family and think the idea of everyone going downtown to get shit faced is absurd. I guess a lot of full blooded Irish look down on the masses that day.

One in 365 ain't bad.

BTW - Real Irish are sullen and stoic and also get hammered drunk. Dyin all the time when sober, goofey happy or angry when drunk.

Potatos, carrots, couple celery hearts on the bottom of the slow cooker, brisket on top of the veggies, cabbage cut into eighths and a little water and some pepper, salt and seasoning and then turn that on before I head to work and eat when I get home.

Eff you JB. ;-) ;) :wink:

Had my firt grilled cheeseburger of the seson n dthen went to the local watering hole in walking distance and got HAMMERED DRUNK ; Much like Cal Naughton Jr in the front row of Jesus playing with Skynard.

Place was serving corned beef, cabbage & carots. I waived my genetalia in the general direction of that crap. Mentally, of course. I ordered wings, which of course would hav been an irish staple, but the damn English and their protstant lackeys took all of our chickens. So all that was left was to salt, cure & boil the shitty part of a leftover cow.

Fucking English/Irish/Scottish food, the Germans should've dropped cookbooks on them.

English breakfast is the worst thing ever.

Tips on making corned beef at home? God knows there isn't a deli with decent corned beef within 1000 miles.

Baked, Boiled, Slow cooker?

Pre-brined? Do I have time to brine if I get it on Sunday? Alton Browns takes 10 days damnit.

Carrots, potatoes, Cabbage, and boiled meat... mmmmm.... :cheers:

Annual JB 'boiled meat' rant in 3..2..1..

Slow cooker Z. A brisket as slowly cooked as you can afford time-wise. I slice an onion in with it, add enough water to cover 3/4 of the brisket, add a little minced garlic and a bay leaf and let it go. I do carrots and potatoes separate from brisket and I add the cabbage to the crock with brisket for last 45 minutes of cooking or so.

My concern with the slow cooker is I dont want a falling apart consistency like pot roast. I want it to be able to slice it still... is that how it is?

JB can come over for some corned beef if he would like. There will be beer and basketball

by **waborat** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:08 pm

Favorite thread of the year :thumb up:

Here ya Zin, perfection every time:

-Brine it overnight in the fridge
-Trim off surface fat
-Put in large pot w/ the spices 'n herbs
-Pour 2 Guiness' in it, then add water until submerged
-Bring to boil then simmer covered for 2 hours
-Cut cabbage into quarters and add to pot
-Add cut up carrots & onions to pot
-Simmer for another 1.5 hours
-Take out and let rest for 20-30 minutes, slice

This way^^^^ causes JB to "riverdance" :nanner:

by jb » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:48 pm

There is no such thing as a "Good corned beef sandwhich" or "good" boiled meat. It is all evil. Vile.

I am going to low key this St pattys for once in a blue moon. Takig my 14 yer old son with me to the Q the next day and he's on cloud 9 super geeked up like I've never seen him since he ws like 5 and saw his first dinosaur bones skeleton in person. I don't want to be a hung-over mess.

Of course the Irish think its absurd. They have another word for what the commoners practice on March 17th. Its called "breakfast".

And FUDU, why is going to the bars on the West Side a joke? My bro lives in Westlake and for the first time, we are staying around Kamms Corners (PJs, PH, and WPS) instead of heading downtown.

EDIT - Freshly's in Willoughby next to Lake West has phenomenal everything. Gyros, sandwiches, and in-house corned beef

The 3-4 most notorious ones are impossible to get into smoothly and once inside you aint moving an inch for minimum 6 hours. If that is your idea of a good time then more power to you. PJ's will be the worst hands down b/c once the parade is over all of Ireland makes its way there for a large part of the rest of the day, and the actual bar there is too big for a crowd on any arbitrary Friday in the middle of any month let alone March 17th.
