For the customers who are not able to come to our delicatessen to try this in person, our famous USDA Prime smoked brisket is now available.  

Inspired by Bill Fuchs' love of Montreal Smoked Meat, he created a product that is a cross of Pastrami and Corned Beef.  Using only USDA Prime briskets sourced locally from Wagshal's Market, it takes over 50 days to go from raw brisket to the masterpiece we have. Once you try it at home, you will agree that his is truly the finest beef brisket you've ever had.
