I hope you all enjoyed your lunch at Big Ed's. Once the locale got switched to Waukegan, I knew I couldn't take enough time from work to join you --- and that was before my car got smashed up and wasn't available anyway.
I didn't want to negatively influence anyone before the lunch, but I was quite disappointed with the carryout we got from Big Ed's a few weeks ago (from the Libertyville location). Sweet Baboo brought home slabs of ribs for himself and a friend and a brisket sandwich for me. The brisket sandwich was a big disappointment: four very dry slices of brisket on a bun, no sauce, total meat thickness maybe a quarter of an inch. I don't know how the ribs were but the brisket sandwich was hardly worth eating, and I was annoyed about what my husband paid for it, and about the total bill. I really like beef brisket, so I'd be willing to try Big Ed's again to see if I get a better-quality serving of it next time. I'll report back.
