Perhaps no national holiday is more celebrated in Cleveland than St Patrick's Day. And with Corned Beef being a central part of the celebration, Mister Brisket stands prepared to help revelers enjoy themselves. First, we will expand our Monday hours from 7:00am to 4:00pm. Secondly, we will have lots of corned beef on hand. Here are a list of our current corned beef offerings:
Raw Corned Beef Briskets (uncooked) $3.99/lb (typical weight of 8-10 pounds)
Cooked Corned Beef--unsliced $8.99/lb
Cooked, Sliced Hot Corned Beef $10.95/lb
Corned Beef Sandwiches $5 (the scooby), $6.50 (large), $8.50 (XXL), $11.95 (The Mountain)
All Sandwiches come with your choice of Swiss, American or provolone cheese. In addition we have three types of mustard, plus mayo, horseradish or thousand Island dressing.
Bread Options: Rye, Wheat or White
HOW TO COOK A CORNED BEEF:
The best corned beefs are whole--meaning they are comprised of both the point and flat section. This type of corned beef will have the most flavor and tenderness. Preparation is simple:
Boil: Place corned beef in a stock pot and bring water to a rolling boil. Turn down heat and allow corned beef to simmer for three hours. Remove corned beef from pot, slice against the grain, and enjoy. Optional: Add cabbage to pot while corned beef simmers.
Bake: Place corned beef in an oven bag and put on a flat cookie sheet. Cook for approximately 3 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. If you have a meat thermometer, the corned beef is done at 175 degrees.

Mister Brisket will be one of three Cleveland area food establishments featured on Time-Warner cable's locally produced Food Program, Three Squares. The show focuses on the specialty of each business and why they're unique. Taping took place last Thursday morning and Friday afternoon. Our segment, expected to last from 6-8 minutes, will air each Monday evening throughout November at 8:00 pm on channel 15. For those of you without Time-Warner cable, see below to watch the segment on our website. Many thanks to Rick Fromet and his crew from Five-Front, a local TV production company. Incidentally, it's worth mentioning that we are appearing on the inaugural segment of this show, a fact of which we are proud. Also, if you're an Indians fan, watch our segment to catch the introduction provided by Al Pawlowski, co-host of Sports Time Ohio's post-game show. Pawlowski is a terrific guy and does great work for the Indians.
Here's a video worth watching. Thanks to customer Susie Weiss for sharing:
On a recent Friday, a woman came in and ordered a large number of sandwiches. When I asked where she worked, she mentioned driving a school bus for the South-Euclid Schools. She stared at me intently and then said, "you don't recognize me do you." I said "no" and she explained that she's the driver who picks up my daughter, Hannah, a 2nd grader at Agnon School, and drives her every morning. Turns out that Hannah would tell the driver, Mrs. Taylor, that her Daddy made the best corned beef sandwiches in town. When Mrs. Taylor mentioned how much she liked corned beef, Hannah would inquire daily if she'd tried ours yet. Needless to say, Hannah's persistence paid off.
While most of us go about our daily business, those crazy docs at the Cleveland Clinic Imaging Center have one thing on their mind--who can consume the most Dukes. The Duke is a signature deli sandwich which contains one pound of brisket, salami, corned beef and turkey. The letter is self-explanatory.
Dear Mr. Brisket,
Your sandwiches, and especially “The Duke,” have attained legendary status here at the Imaging Institute of the Cleveland Clinic. Several of our residents, including the mere boy you sold the Duke to two months ago, are arranging a “Mr Duke” eat off in the next few weeks. Of course, each has been assigned a trainer/mentor from our illustrious staff. Indeed, our residency director, Tan-Lucien Mohammed has given his resounding endorsement to this resident activity, even to the extent of applying for continuing medical education credits for all participants. We might even perform and publish a radiographic study (CT Findings of Gastric Distension after consuming a Mr. Duke). There is a clear front runner in this contest (a former 300 lb lineman-now toned down, but capable of consuming massive quantities of food), but a dark horse may be present amongst the four trainees. We would like to invite back Tony “The Greek” Antonopolus, a former resident who consumed 8 bowls of meat at the Mongolian Bar-B-Q and capable of massive, stage IV meat sweats. Indeed, Tony was the individual who educated all of us about these profuse and often repugnant reactions to carnivorous activity.
As of yet, we do not have a date. Dr. Fetko (the “mere boy” of Mr. Duke meat sweats fame) is on the emergency department rotation. Alas, this crimps the schedule and does not allow him to properly train. But, we will not be daunted by such a trivial speed bump.
There are rumors that you have been informed of this upcoming event. If not, you are now. We were wondering to what extent you would wish to participate in this man-vetting venture? You, of course, would be invited to such an important and worthy event. We will keep you posted.
With warm regards,
Mark E. Baker, M.D.
