  1. You say slice against the grain but the photo shows a brisket sliced with the grain, and thus is shredded.

  2. Thanks for visiting our site! Per the note, it actually says to slice against the grain "unless it just falls apart" which is what happen when Liz made it for us- it was so tender it just shredded itself! :) If you make it, let us know how it turns out!
