TomMoore Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The Dinosaur BBQ Tres Hombres is a meal experience the likes of which I've not had in a long time and will eagerly await next year. Great stuff! Plus it's a honky-tonk bar (whatever that is!). Bliss on a plate! Thanks for the review, Dan. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromeyBush Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 3:45 pm Bucs do their Full Performance at Medina HS in their preparations for Pre-Lims. Run-through is great, but hunger pangs start to distract much of the brass & visual staff.3:56 pm Run-through is over, staff hits the motel to quickly shower and get ready for Pre-Lims 4:01 pm After a well-deserved pre-show beverage, we hit the road for Rochester. Funky Cool Medina kicks off the journey from Medina, NY to Paetec Park 4:55 pm Bucs Staff arrives at Sticky Lips BBQ! Goal is to decide which is better, Sticky Lips or Dinosaur BBQ. We order a variety of combos that include Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, Ribs, and Chicken Drummers. Sides include Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw, Cornbread, Sweet Potato Fries & Pasta Salad 7:20 pm Begin Warm-Up, go on to have best show of the season so far 10:55 pm Scores announced, everyone is elated, but hunger pangs start to creep back in. Rush to Dino BBQ. 11:05 pm Pull into Dino just before the Pre-Lims panel walks in. We all agree it would be inproper for us to buy them a beer, but we see nothing wrong with the judges buying us a round or two. They don't see it that way. Now for the results..... We had a split decision amongst the Bucs staff, so there is no clear cut winner. Therefore, we have to break it down by caption... Pulled Pork - Dinosaur BBQ* (although Sticky Lips Pulled Pork with their mustard sauce was a 10) Beef Brisket - Dinosaur BBQ Ribs - Sticky Lips Dry Rub was slightly better, although both Sticky Lips and Dino's ribs are fantastic Dino Chicken Wings VS Sticky Lips Drummers - The winner here is Dino BBQ. These wings are STANDARD SETTING and should be the ideal that all other wings aspire to reach. Baked Beans - Sticky Lips - Could be a meal in themselves! Mac & Cheese - Dinosaur BBQ (Sticky Lips Mac & Cheese was a major dissappointment - Box 2) Cole Slaw - Sticky Lips Cornbread - Sticky Lips has mastered cornbread. There is some kind of honey glaze on top that is off the charts. we ordered some to go for the ride to the stadium On a side note, Dinosaur BBQ has a sandwich called the Pork-sket that is truly a work of art. As Durand Thomas of the Cabs staff put it, "It will change your life." So, the deal is that both places are high Box 5, although the overall opinion seems to lean toward the Dinosaur BBQ. How does Rochester have TWO great BBQ joints when it is hard to find one in most other places? :P As long as the pork is cooked,Its all good. :) what,no review of the nachos at the stadium?

JimF-LowBari Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Our group went to the Dinosaur (my first time) for a way early Friday dinner because of I&E. No waiting but the waiter screwed up the bill because he didn't figure in the "Groups of six or more, the tip is included". We figured the tip was in the bill so left nothing extra on the table. Poor guy caught us outside wondering if his service was bad because he didn't get a tip. Embarrassing to all of us as we started handing him $$$$ on the sidewalk. My favorite part was ordering the Big ### Platter and then telling my wife "Why are you laughing... that's what the menu says" :P Then I had my first local Genny in decades. :) Second favorite was seeing the Sweetheart Dinner being delivered ala Freddie Flintstone on a cafeteria serving tray. (Remember the closing credits for Flintstones when the waitress delivers the meal to the car and the car falls over. :P ) Night before we did the Buffalo Wings place out in Henrietta(sp?) on Rt 252 near the Radisson. Good food but service was screwed up. Funniest part was guy at table next to us took a picture of his hand with his cell phone. He wanted his buddy to see how messy it was.

Tim O' Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Having gone to school in Syracuse, we went to Dino there A LOT. The best part was the head bartender's tatoo. She had a bald eagle flying out of her tube top with the wings spreading out over her T###. :) Edited September 13, 2007 by Tim O' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I don't have to try and get the corps packed up and on the road after Finals..THEN have to be ON A 6:00AM FLIGHT from BUFFALO, I might be able to actually get to better enjoy a trip to upstate NY.
