Brisket cooked like bacon sammy

Had the point left over from a previous cook, so I decided to slice it like thick cut bacon. I put it in the cast iron skillet to cook as I would do my bacon..... 
Pulled out a deli roll, sliced it added some Duke's, end of season tomatoes, and added a thin spread of boursin garlic and herb cheese.
Best. Sandwich. Ever.
Sorry there are no "before" images, just these as I take a few bites.
Brisket was smoked with pecan.....great flavor throughout.

    That looks gorgeous, right down to the bite marks (with apologies to Marv Albert). 

    Thanks for sharing and getting my mid morning hunger pangs going!

    It even sounded like bacon in the CI skillet. I will do this again. When I started slicing the Point, I thought the slices looked similar to thick cut bacon, so I thought "what the hell, why not?" and placed them in the skillet.
    Turns out, you can make brisket bacon....crazy. First bite was so good, I thought I had to share...

    Marv liked to bite. No doubt. Bet he would slam this, LOL.
    Gotta say, beats Arby's by infiniti. Thanx for the kind words.

    Now that is one good looking sandwich. Bet a fried egg on there would make it crazy good.

    @YukonRon That’s a great looking sandwich my friend. Also - I hope you had a food time here in Texas.

    Great time was had by all. Did the Pacific War museum, a couple nights in Austin, did the wine thing in Fredericksburg, BTW, Texas wine does not take a back seat to any wine, anywhere, and we stayed on a huge Ranch outside of Blanco, not too far from Lukenbach.
    We will be doing this trip again.
    Thanks for the kind words my friend, maybe next time we come down we can hook up.

    Why wouldn't she?  You treat her like the queen she is.  

    Great idea(both) will copy.

    You need to try it next time you have some point left over. It's lean to fat ratio mimics bacon, sort of. Worked out pretty well.
    Thank you for the kind words.
