BBQ! Best of NYC?

[Voltron87]

Although I don't really lunch with any of the 2p2 foodies on here, I'd be interested in trying this place as well.

The Dinosaur in NYC is actually the third of three restaurants in the small chain. The original was in Syracuse, and the second in Rochester. While I can't vouch for the quality of the NYC Dinosaur, the one out here in Rochester is first class. It compares very favorably with any BBQ you'd get in Memphis or Kansas City or Texas or wherever. The only thing I've ever been disappointed with is their cornbread, but the quality of their meat and their sides more than makes up for it in my mind.

I like Brother Jimmy's a lot.

I will try the place mentioned by OP.

However, having spent a lot of time in Texas and Georgia, I'm not really planning to be impressed by BBQ in NYC.

as a NY'er i am never impressed with BBQ as they all usually suck. Nevertheless have i ever let you down?

THIS PLACE IS LEGIT

I heard NYC has environmental laws that prohibit the smoking technique required to make good barbeque. Is that true? What kind of wood are these places using?

Dinosaur claims that their meats are "smoked" for 14 hours. Maybe its some sort of faux smoking process, Im not sure.

Just did a little Googling and saw that open pit smokers are illegal in Manhattan. And Blue Smoke has some sort of custom made, high tech gas and apple wood smoker. Whatever that is.

Apple wood is goot. I prefer an apple/pecan blend myself.

Thanks

I was about to google, then I remembered how unremorsefully lazy I am, and thought better of it.
