Dinosaur BBQ

     On Friday I went to a place called Dinosaur BBQ.  It smells like BBQ sauce and woodsmoke.  It is a big restaurant.  There is even big posters of old movies.  They have a visible kitchen.

     For a appetizer I had some awesome tasting wings.  The wings were a little spicy.  The flavor was called Mango Tango.  Another appetizer is a fried green tomatoes.  They were yummy.  They were green and they were ripe(ya I said it they were RIPE.)  They were also deep fried so it has a perfect name.

     For dinner I had some really good ribs.  They were not too spicy.  What I liked about them was the sauce that was on them.  I also had mac+cheese.  I saw little pieces of pepper and it had a nice spicy kick with a good aftertaste to it.
       Sadly I didn't have any dessert to tell you about.

P.S
     Sorry but I am now a 9 year old.

Cafe al Mercato

 

 Today me and my family went to Cafe Mercado.  It is on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx.  There I got penne vodka (don't worry the vodka part that makes you drunk got boiled away) pizza.  The pizza was a piece of pizza with ziti on top (but it's not ziti, it's penne.)  I loved the pizza.

My mom and dad they split a sandwich on focaccia bread with fried eggplant and broccoli rabe.  They also had pasta fagioli.  Which is a soup.  I tried both.  The sandwich was okay, the only funky taste was the broccoli rabe.  The soup was delish.   I really liked the beans.  
     

For dessert I had chocolate gelato.  My sister had chocolate and hazelnut.  Hazelnut tasted marshmallow-y.

Cheese Platter

     Yesterday me and my mom went to a cheese store.  There me and my mom bought 8 cheeses to make a cheese platter for Easter.  Today I am trying cheeses and writing a blog post about them (the cheese). 
     Our first cheese is Imported New Zealand cheddar.  It doesn't have a strong taste.  My dad tasted salt.  Surprisingly the cheddar is whitish-yellow color instead of being orange.
     our next cheese is White Stilton With Mango and Ginger.  It smells weird.  I don't like it because, it has mango and ginger.
     The next cheese is Black River Gorgonzola.  It smells like cream cheese.  It has a nice spicy kick to it.  It is the softest of all the 7 cheese.  It is kind of a stinky cheese.
     Our fourth to last is Manchego from Spain.  It smells like Swiss cheese.  It's the whitest of all the cheeses.  It tastes like nothing.  It has a funny after taste.
      Our next cheese is Asiago.  It has a crunchy after taste.  It also tasted salty.
     Our second to last cheese is smoked sharp cheddar.  It tasted warm.  It is not salty.
     Our last cheese is Soinon Bucheron Goat Cheese.  It has a weird after taste.  It also tasted like cream cheese.
