Comments on: El Camino Real: Close But No Cigar https://unbreaded.com/2009/03/11/el-camino-real-close-but-no-cigar/ Tue, 05 Jul 2011 05:38:00 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: e https://unbreaded.com/2009/03/11/el-camino-real-close-but-no-cigar/comment-page-1/#comment-503 e Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:02:05 +0000 https://unbreaded.com/?p=544#comment-503 I think El Camino is just fine. I'm not partial to the bread they use for their sandwiches, but it's very traditional to serve BBQ on texas toast. I can't rave about the brisket, or any of the food, besides the onion rings with smoked ketchup. As far as Sweet Lucy's is concerned, their food is banging! Monday's used to be (and perhaps still are) all you can eat night for under $20. If you're less of a glutton, than all their perfectly smoked meats are available in platter and sandwich form, you just have to be willing to get up 95 a bit before you can chow down.

I've never had meat that actually melted in your mouth. Everyone I bring here doubts that anything could be so divine yet they all walk out praising it just as much as I have. <br><br>Now, I can't argue that it lacks that southern smoked flavor, but I don't think that's what they're going for here. For that, I hit up Abner's in Jenkintown. I haven't had the sandwich here either. The bread doesn't look all that appetizing to me. I'm in love with the brisket here.

Even if I set aside the number of foodies, amateur and otherwise, who've been disappointed, my friends have had horrible experiences, some of which resulted in comped checks!
