Q: Brisket is to Hanukkah as turkey is to Thanksgiving. Share some tips for a successful brisket.
Like most foods, try and get the best quality brisket you can. If you can get your hands on some prime brisket it will make a noticeable difference. Cooking it with onions is always key as well. I know most people cook them with onions in some way, but sometimes I'll cook them in all onions. No celery or carrots, just a lot of onions and bay leaves. Comes out great.
