Boy, you will have to forgive me for jumping around from subject to subject, from French elections to fat Germans and crazed gunmen. So today, to confuse you all, I am going to write about my New York B.B.Q. experience in Harlem.
My daughter made reservations for us to try out her favorite chow place in the city. For a while she has been talking about Dinosaur Barbeque way, way up on the West side. Yesterday, after we stopped by at the Apple store on Fifth to drop off Son's laptop for a final tweeking before the warranty runs out, we headed all the way to Harlem.
The place is in a huge brick warehouse, under the surprisingly beautiful Riverside Drive Bridge and across the original Fairway Gourmet market. Once inside, I was instantly transported from Manhattan into the deep South. Made to look like a huge wooden shack, it definitely had a lot of ambiance. And the place was FULL. Thank God we had a reservation.
This is heaven for meat lovers. Pulled pork, pork ribs, pork everything it seemed. The portions were huge. My son was in ectasy. So was husband. Too bad I am a vegetarian. Not quite the best place to eat when meat is not on your radar. But Daughter C. suggested a Portobello mushroom sandwich. Good choice.
Anyway, it was a great week-end and it was nice to have the whole family together on one of the sunniest week-ends in recent memory.
