- The meals at Costco's food court has a cult following among the chain's shoppers.
- The BBQ beef brisket sandwich is the best item on the entire menu.
- The portions are huge, the meat is rich and tender, and the quality is much higher than one expects.
Costco's food court has some diehard fans — mention the chain's hot dog in front of the right people, and prepare to be bowled over with ceaseless praise of the $1.50 frankfurter.
But of all the strangely delicious food at Costco's restaurant — hot dogs, pizza, that un-classifiable "chicken bake"— there is one that completely eclipses the rest. I can say with little to no doubt that the BBQ beef brisket sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.
Is this mere frenzied hyperbole? The ravings of a madman who claims to have found a superb brisket sandwich at, of all places, Costco? I assure you, it isn't so.
Here's why the beef brisket sandwich is, by far, the best thing at Costco, period.

Costco's food court is a land of cheap plenty — ice cream, hot dogs, pizza, hot sandwiches, and cold soda abound.

That humble, cardboard-wrapped treat is the barbecue beef brisket sandwich. At $4.99, it's the most expensive item on the menu.
