I have come to the conclusion that the Dinosaur Bar B Que’s food is really, really, really … good.
Really.
Really.
Really really.
Really.
Reeeeeeally.
Really really really.
Really.
Good.
The editorial staff of The Dolphin had chosen The Dinosaur for our end-of-the-year dinner. (Ooh, alliteration)! We chose Dinosaur because I’m a brat and insisted upon it. Sometimes being a food [read more ...]
In the Mood for a T-Rex
Tonight, I’m going to eat at the Dinosaur Bar B Que for the very first time. This “genuine honky tonk rib joint” has restaurants in Rochester and Manhattan – but the original was born right here in Syracuse, New York.

Dinner with Big Bird
Last night, upon arriving home late, I began to fix dinner.
Pasta’s always welcome in my book, so I let some cappellini swim in a pot of boiling water while I went off in search for accoutrements. There was a bag of frozen artichoke hearts hanging out in my freezer, and in the pantry, a [read more ...]

After the Restaurants; Low-Key Gnocchi
A version of this article appears in both The Syracuse City Eagle and The Dolphin.

I tried gnocchi for the first time this past October. I know that by most people’s standards, 21 years is a long time to wait before eating such an easy-to-find Italian staple. But it wasn’t in my [read more ...]
