No. 6: Brothers Deli Potato Salad
One of our old co-workers used to have a weekly Brothers habit: pastrami on rye, plus a trip to the salad bar for a few bites of pickled herring (!), one scoop of the three-bean, and another of the potato salad. We trained ourselves to recognize the crackle of the Styrofoam clamshell as he carried the weighty carryout box back to his desk, and soon enough we'd find a question that needed answering or some excuse to linger over his shoulder, and, plastic spoon in hand, gaze longingly at the potato salad. You'd think potato salad would be pretty much all the same, but no, Brothers version is somehow--we'd like to remain blissfully ignorant of the ingredient list, or we'll never be able to look at it the same way again--richer, creamier, and more decadent than any other we've ever tried. He'd always kindly let us sneak a bite or two, until we wised up and just started hitting Brothers ourselves.
