The corned beef egg roll is becoming a fixture on more and more menus in Detroit. What will it take for this obscure local delicacy to become known outside its homeland?
Each afternoon, 30 mammoth hunks of Sy Ginsberg–brand pickled beef brisket are boiled, then lined up for slicing in Bread Basket Deli kitchens across metro Detroit. For those who don’t toil in the cured-meat trade, the 12-pound pink and tan slabs filling up the kitchens are an impressive sight. Bread Basket owner Al Winkler burns through a lot of brisket—around 24,000 pounds weekly, which he says is more than any one restaurant in the nation.

"As big as the coney dog! It will be up there and beyond, no doubt about it, no question about it! This is big stuff.
