Crafting the ultimate barbecue brisket sandwich involves a careful selection of brisket cuts and complementary toppings. Chef Matt Abdoo recommends the flat cut for sandwiches, as it may be drier but can be enhanced with flavorful toppings and BBQ sauce. The key to a delicious sandwich lies in balancing the rich, soft brisket with crunchy and acidic elements such as pickles and crispy onions, while a sweet and tangy sauce binds the flavors together, creating an exceptional eating experience.
"Making the best BBQ sandwich is all about balance and combining flavors and textures that work. Brisket can be very rich and soft, so typically we like to serve our brisket sandwiches with crunchy and acidic items (like pickles and crispy onions) that complement the meat and richness well and finish it with a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce."
"I find using the flat a better option for a sandwich because the flat typically cooks up a little drier than the point, and you can hide some of that dryness with toppings and BBQ sauce to add moisture."
