How To Make sandwich essentials: fried coleslaw & brisket

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Chef’s Note: This recipe did not begin as fried coleslaw and brisket; it began its life as an unpretentious turkey & bacon slider. But, during the creation process, I was moving some coleslaw for another recipe over a hot pan, and some fell in… Well, the smell was really good, and I thought, I wonder what would happen if I threw in some chopped brisket… And that is how I got to this point.
• 
  Step 3
  SECRET SAUCE: Since we are working with brisket, I think that this recipe calls for a horseradish-based sauce. This actual recipe is up to you; however, if you are interested, here is my choice: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/a-kinder-gentler-horseradish-sauce.html?r=2
