Salamis to the troops--Mister Brisket wants your help

"Mister Brisket" Sanford Herskovitz

Local butcher shop Mister Brisket wants to send 100 salamis to the troops on Jan. 5. The store will pick up the tab for the first 20, then it's up to generous folks to pony up and underwrite the rest of the give.

Check out misterbrisket.com for donation information, or call the shop with your credit card, 216-932-8620. One salami is $20. Mr. Brisket will send your salami along with a personal message to serviceman Cormac Chandler, the son of customer Max Chandler, and his Medivac unit in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
