Georgia’s Eastside BBQ, Lower East Side, New York, New York
This operation was seemingly slapped together with a learn-on-the-fly attitude, I believe, in the beginning of the summer of 2007. I also believe that the owner was involved in the labor of decoration and setup. Very hands-on. That is cool but I think a touch more forethought could have saved many poor strategies. Then again, it is Orchard Street and there is no other BBQ in the vicinity and since people pack so many subpar restaurants on the LES, perhaps his goal was just to open as soon as possible because it wouldn’t matter and he would get it all right soon enough.
The space is small, both the dining area and the kitchen/back area. I assume there was a good deal on the rent. There is no bathroom. Read the rest of this entry »

Dinosaur BBQ, Harlem, New York, New York
Ah, the quest for decent or even good barbeque in NYC. Tough task. Yes, the masses love this place and that. Well, sugary crap is a lure for many. Look at typical diets and what is contained within. Dinosaur gets some pretty good comments but fewer due to its location, far uptown. Read the rest of this entry »

Bun, Soho, New York, New York
I wonder if they gave out ANY free food during the midnight to noon hours over Memorial Day weekend, as they had promised for those with reservations. This was the result of management’s own promotion to mark the new round the clock hours of Bun.
Another result was their inability to handle it from the online reservation system to the food and service during this time. Fortunately and unfortunately(not turned away on the plus side, not free for as much as I could order on the other), I went to Bun this past Saturday, anyway. It is new and someone recommended it as good for what it is supposed to be, an upscale version of the Vietnamese joints in Chinatown. Also, the food has some fusion elements.
