Comments on: Limp Lizard – Really Good Barbecue! http://chusonchow.com/2009/02/limp-lizard-really-good-barbecue/ A Pair of Enthusiastic Foodies in Syracuse, NY Wed, 02 May 2012 13:06:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Dave http://chusonchow.com/2009/02/limp-lizard-really-good-barbecue/comment-page-1/#comment-129 Dave Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:02:14 +0000 http://chusonchow.com/?p=373#comment-129 Great idea, Tom. I'll have to look at that site. Yes, I envision the best barbecue being somewhere out in the middle of nowhere in Texas (or insert other state here) where there's one cook in a place that looks nondescript, but people still make an effort to head out there and line up, so you know it has to be incredible. I can almost smell the fine aroma now! Lonnie has had occasional issues with Dinosaur food consistency, and though I love their food, if I'm being honest, I've experienced that sometimes, too. We haven't gotten out to the Lizard often enough to get jaded yet. Great idea, Tom.

I'm just not a negative guy because negativity flattens the foam on my cappuccino. I get really excited about inconsistency and mediocrity because 1) I truly never know what I'm gonna get. 2) If it rises to above average I'm thrilled at the exceeded expectations. Life then continues to be one big surprise - as it should be ;-) Oh no… I’m just not a negative guy because negativity flattens the foam on my cappuccino.

I think that consistency may be an issue at Lizard just as it is at Dino. On my one visit there the service was terrific but my friend's ribs were average at best (not nearly as good as Dino's in his opinion and after trying them I agreed). I had a pulled pork sampler with four small samples of pulled pork entree items. In of them the pulled pork was spot on - great texture and plenty of smoky porky flavor. The other two were bland, insipid and mushy - truly mediocre. My overall assessment was that I'd go there if I happened to be in the neighborhood but wouldn't drive across town to dine there. But prior to and since that time I've heard some very favorable reports (including yours). Seems like a consistency issue to me. Interesting.
