Default I just don't get brisket

I've had it prepared in Dallas. One of those catered things for a
convention of thousands. When I saw the meat I wondered what was
wrong with it and thought maybe the caterers messed up. I've smoked a
couple. Same result as the brisket in Dallas. To me it is a pot
roast and not a particularly good one. I've had it as corned beef.
The mouth feel is stringy, dryish. You'd think with all that fat on
the meat would make it more unctuous I think if you mixed brisket
with another piece of beef, it would grind into good burger meat. Now
I see that the burger chains are all touting that they've got a
special burger with brisket. Tell me what I am missing.
