rainy day hash

This morning amid the torrential downpour, en route to a shoot in Cobble Hill Brooklyn, I suddenly saw a bright spot in an otherwise grey day, Mile End (a Montreal Jewish delicatessen in Brooklyn). I had heard that Mile End had some killer brisket hash. I have had the cured smoked beef brisket sandwich on another rainy day... (rain being the secret to no line at Mile End). Let me tell you, neither the sandwich nor the hash disappoint!

We pulled up, ran in and got three orders to go to share at our shoot. It was all we could do to barely contain ourselves long enough to take this photo before diving in like the vultures we sometimes are.

Our brisket hash arrived in a toasty little brown box, steaming with tiny cubes of perfectly cooked potatoes and larger pieces of sweet onion accompanied by two sunny side up well-seasoned eggs and a pile of smokey meat. What's not to love on this otherwise gloomy day?

If you aren't able to make it to Cobble Hill, you can find them at the Brooklyn Flea on Sundays in Williamsburg.

I love a place with Lambruso and brisket!

it's a smorgasburg!

I love a market! especially one serving up all sorts of irresistible things to eat. The SMORGASBURG just might top all the others!

Starting May 21,2011 The Brooklyn Flea will be launching a veritable food extravaganza in Williamsburg called "SMORGASBURG". You can find it at the new Williamsburg Flea site on the Water at 27 North 6th St. (btw. Kent Ave. + East River), every saturday from 9am to 5pm. There will be over one hundred food vendors so come HUNGRY!! and stay all day. The market will have prepared foods as well as provisions and a green market.
