Dinosaur Bar-B-Q in Harlem (Yes, We Take Requests)

We went to Dinosaur last month, where I got the sampler plate. The ribs were quite good, and the sausages were quite awful, but the brisket was awesome. It's the one Q style that almost no place gets right, but this was moist and deeply flavored.

Dinosaur's pork is merely good. The brisket is sensational.

Stuffing Peppadews from Sahadi's Importing Company

Some items I get every time:

Kalamata olives, black and green

Bulgarian feta (impossibly rich and barely crumbles)

B.R. Cohn olive oil (insanely good and not as expensive here as elsewhere - non-organic is better than organic - too good to use for anything but bread dipping)

onion ficelles

halava

pistachios (they always offer a discount on 3 pound bags, and they correctly say that the American ones are better than the Turkish)

There is really a lot to try in this store. The problem is I live far so I can't go that often. There are online websites that have some of their products such as www.gourmetnut.com but its not the same as going there.

@dennisnyc: Aw, we were too full to get more than one dessert...and we were in a pudding mood. But pecan pie next time, definitely.

My eyes lit up when I saw this post today! Dinosaur is my favorite bbq spot in the city. The Ode to Elgin's combo is always the way to go - brisket, ribs and sausage. Add a side of cornbread and bbq fried rice and you won't need to eat for at least 36 hrs. Oh, I almost forgot...SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE.

Ed, not that it matters, but Blue Smoke is a little over a year older than the Dinosaur in NY. John Stage & his group treat every morsel that leaves the kitchen with loving care. It's funny how some people love the ribs & others love the pork. (I love both). The brisket is terrific when hot, as all good briskets, but if it gets cold it will get tough. All the sides are delicious and I don't know what the sausage eater was looking for, but those are Elgin sausages from the Southside in Texas and for over 100 years they are awesome.

i love dinosaur. we are overdue for a dinner uptown. the ambience is a little more polished than the original location, but still fun and laid back.

Love the Dinosaur! Not to diss on the upstaters, but it used to be the only reason why I looked forward to frequent business trips to Rochester.

@TastyNewEngland: Wasn't this the man who had a weakness for Big Macs? I think Cosi is at least an upgrade from that!

@krsmav: Thanks for the tips. Will try the Bulgarian feta and the olive oil on my next trip. Sahadi's is endlessly explorable!

He could have at least picked a better chain if he was gonna pick a chain. Maybe I've had bad luck but my one experience with Cosi sucked big time.

So...Bill Clinton having an office in Harlem isn't enough? Now he's got to eat soul food every day, too?

@worldcupfever: I think McCain is a different case, because he doesn't have an office near these places. He was slammed for eating at the Olive Garden (not on Serious Eats, but elsewhere).

I love peppadews. Nice recipe to make my own. I can almost smell and feel the store from your writing - thanks!!

Locally-owned businesses earn your support. They don't automatically get it. Just because a place is locally owned doesn't mean they make a good burger or tailor a good suit.

Would McCain get slammed for not eating soul food?

locally-owned, independent businesses need your support, even if you're an ex-president or a wanna-be. big chains don't. learn.

Yeah, don't dis Bill--I heard he loves soul food, and frequented Sylvia's more than he should until his heart surgery! It probably kills him to walk past those places, and now you're rubbing salt (and grease) in his wounds! For shame!
