I know this topic has been mentioned before, and there are a lot of fat lovers out there who like all the flabby bits on their brisket. However, I just want to add that many people do not appreciate these surprises and those who own restaurants and preparing food might consider this. On many occasions, I've run into an unpleasant fatbomb in a sammie, but I mention this because I recently had a chance to visit one of my favorite BBQ joints. They make the best Ruben I've ever had:
and some darn nice sides:
Unfortunately, when my wife took a bite of her Ruben, she got a big chunk of fat and ended up spitting it out. She said the previous sandwich she'd gotten also had a lot of fatty bits in it and she had to open it up and trim it before eating, so it is just the way it's done there. Unfortunately, on our way back in the area, just the thought of going back made her gag and we had to drive on by -- I should add that my wife is not a novice to BBQ or food.
