Brooks Sandwich House, Where the Secret to Success Is Chili

This year, Eater is teaming up with James Beard award-winning Southern Foodways Alliance to spotlight their documentary work, premiering a short film every other week. This next piece focuses on Brooks Sandwich House, a 40 year-old shop run by twins David and Scott Brooks in Charlotte, North Carolina. Specializing in hot dogs, smashed burgers, and liver mush sandwiches covered in chili, it has long been a staple with blue collar workers and now brings in tourists from around the country.

Landmark of Charlotte NC. The only thing better than the food is the family that runs this place. I'm so sad to hear today about the tragic and senseless murder of Scott, one of the Twins featured in this video. Praying for your family David and Brooks family. For those watching this video, Today, Monday, 12/9/19, Scott was opening the restaurant when someone shot and murdered him. Scott and David are role model citizens and Scott will be missed by us all.

I am an identical twin, probably in the Brooks Brothers David and Scott's age group; I dread the day if my twin sister were to pass before me. For David to lose his twin brother and partner in life through this violent barbaric act, of senseless greed of the predators who shot him, I am truly sorry. Sending prayers from NYC to David and the Brook family.

I hope Mac's is your "other" livermush brand. They make a spicy livermush, if you've never tried it, you should.

Press the burgers into the thickness you want before you put them on the grill so that you don’t press out the juices
