St. Patrick's Day Fare: What's Your Favorite Corned Beef Sandwich?

We polled our Facebook users and now we want to know what you think of their favorites!

I got a hankering for a corned beef sandwich last week after reading an especially interesting police blotter item nearby and gave Jack's Deli a try. That sandwich was GOOD. But I wanted to know: is Jack's the BEST corned beef near Cleveland Heights? Where should I try next? Our Facebook fans weighed in: Slyman's and Jack's got, by far, the most votes, but there were mentions of Mr. Bristket's and even a few out-of-state favorites. What do you think? Let me know in the comments where you'll be going to get your corned beef fix this St. Patty's Day.
