Dinosaur BBQ: A Second Bite
Awhile back, I wrote that Dinosaur BBQ, the Harlem outpost of the ribs chain, was a keen disappointment. Yesterday, I went back.
Maybe it was that I was coming off the first bike ride of the season. Or maybe it was that there was a different chef in 
the kitchen cooking up the ribs, pulled pork, brisket and other ‘Q standards. But, wow, what a difference a few months makes!
My Texas brisket sandwich was succulent and perfectly seasoned. I ordered the platter and was rewarded with excellent steak-cut fries and cold slaw. Dump a wad of slaw on the sandwich and you’re in BBQ heaven.
Then there were the ribs. Were they the best my hubby and I have ever eaten?
Definitely not. A bit dry, the meaty Dinosaur BBQ ribs ribs boasted a sweet/tangy bite. For great ribs without traveling too far south, you have to find tiny White Post, VA and hunt down Mr. B’s.
Hubby, I should say, loved them. But then any kind of meat on a bone gets a thumbs up from him.
So if you go, lunch time is a bit more pleasant than dinner. The place is quieter and the service is speedier.

[...] Mark from Syracuse has offered up a spirited defense of Dinosaur BBQ. By the way, for those who missed it, I revised my initial thumbs down on the place. The ‘cue I had there on a second foray was excellent. [...]
