$5.99 barbecue-beef sandwich at Howard Delicatessen (2612-A Georgia Ave., NW; 202-332-5747). It doesn’t matter whether you choose white or wheat for this Tennessee-style sandwich ($5.99)—the slow-cooked brisket is so saucy that it renders the bread useless. But the shredded meat, dripping with sweet slather, doesn’t need any accompaniment. Except for maybe the Slurpee-size Ghetto Sweet Iced Tea ($1.75), brewed with a judicious helping of sugar. Open Monday through Friday for lunch and dinner; weekend hours vary.
