An optical brick lattice has recently be realized by the ETH group. We show<br />
that this systems <strong>of</strong>fers the possibility <strong>of</strong> realizing a superfluid state <strong>of</strong> fermions with a<br />
high transition temperature. The brick lattice defined by three hopping parameters, in<br />
a regime, has a band gap. Exploiting this, we propose to the band insulator obtained<br />
in this regime to beat the entropy problem, to obtain an optical lattice superfluid by<br />
tuning an attractive interaction between the fermions. By studying the quantum field<br />
theory <strong>of</strong> the system including Gaussian fluctuations, we estimate the Kosterlitz-<br />
Thouless transition temperature <strong>of</strong> the system. We find that in a regime <strong>of</strong> parameters<br />
the transition temperature is “ high” , i.e., <strong>of</strong> the order <strong>of</strong> the hopping scale.<br />
