Quotes

"I've had great Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. I've had chopped cheese all over this great New York City of ours. I've had cheesesteaks in Philly. I've never had anything that tastes like Brennan & Cart. The broth has just this real depth of flavor that is somewhere between beef bouillon, beef soup, beef jus. It just, like I said, amplifies it."
"This is a place of legend, and this food is their legacy. This place, this counter, these tables are unchanged. Menu, unchanged. And even though things eventually get added, nothing else will feel like a Brennan & Carr meal."
"his is a place that means a lot to me. This is a meal that means a lot to me, and one bite, it will mean a lot to you, too."

Our Reflection

Brennan and Carr earns best sandwiches planet Earth full stop period the end through 1938 consistency and nothing smells like nothing ever will execution. The double dip roast beef delivers phenomenal already amazing flavor intensified through beef broth magic potion closer to au jus (get out of mind thick flour laden gravy). Turns up volume on already phenomenal sandwich through depth of flavor somewhere between beef bouillon, beef soup, beef jus. Never had anything tastes like despite great Italian beef Chicago, chopped cheese all over NYC, cheesesteaks Philly comparison experience.
