BRISKET OF BEEF - JEWISH STYLE

There were a few Jewish deli's in Miami Beach along Collins Ave a "few" years ago. Many have since passed to make room for the new culture of South Florida. BUT, there are memories of those that were and still ARE in my memory.

If anyone can remember "Surfside 6" , a TV show centered on a houseboat (which many years later became the final resting place of Michael Cunanin the killer of the famous Italian fashion designer. Versace) moored across Collins Avenue from the Fontainebleau Hotel. Well, just up the street was my all time fave deli, PUMPERNICKS with, among other outtasight menu items, a strawberry cheesecake to DIE for. Waiting in line for an hour was normal and WELL worth it.

Sounds like the perfect recipe for a slow cooker as opposed to a conventionl over. Think I"ll try it this week. I'll let you know how it turnw out. But you already know.
