Brisket · Brooklyn

Beef brisket cooked long and slow: Hometown in Red Hook sells it smoked at $20 a half pound, and Izzy's in Crown Heights smokes it 18 hours under kosher supervision.

Brisket comes from the breast or lower chest of the animal, and its heavy connective tissue turns tender only after long cooking. American cooks rub it with spices and cook it slowly over indirect heat from charcoal or wood, such as oak, and smoked brisket is popular in Texas barbecue. Hometown Bar-B-Que opened in Red Hook in September 2013 and smokes meats on oak wood in the classic Southern technique. At Izzy's, a kosher smokehouse in Crown Heights under the supervision of the OK, pitmaster Izzy Eidelman smokes brisket for 18 hours.
