Impossible to get a corned beef or pastrami on rye that is anything like NY (IE Katz)

My Mom used to cook liver & onions for my Dad.
Thankfully she never made us eat it.
I do really like chopped liver!

Some people hate it, others love it. If cooked right it is great.

When you know what good pastrami and corned beef tastes like hard to settle for fourth rated deli meat.

Dropping popular items is usually a great way to run a restaurant. Into the buffers!
I do like Bison Burgers but waitress comment was probably anecdotal and/or they cut into sales of regular hamburgers which are very close in taste.

TooJays in Brownwood has gotten really dirty over the last few months. I know they have had some serious staffing issues, but if they can’t even clean the dining room floor I don’t want to think how bad it is in the kitchen areas.

Did you check the specials menu? We were at the Brownwood restaurant on Thursday and Liver & onions is a Thursday dinner special.

There will be plenty of chatter on here...LOL...those who hate it, those who love it, under the new owners/management. It will settle nothing except as a "let off steam" value for some people. But the one fact is, IF enough people love it, it will stay open, and if enough people join the "hate posters", then it will eventually close ! Basic economics even kids with a lemonade stand can understand..LOL !
