Dallas BBQ: My Comfort Food Winner in NYC
Marlene Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 02:16PM 
This winter in New York, the weatherman’s predictions came true--blizzards, 40mph winds, below freezing temperatures, and snow accumulations reaching two feet. Is this Manhattan or Anchorage?
I will stay home, cuddle up by the fireplace (what fireplace?) with my Kindle, and send out for dinner. Besides, a scratchy throat forwarned a pending cold, flu or worse.
During this time of year, I need solid, real comfort food, not wimpy sensible salmon and salad. Perusing my stash of restaurant menus, I zero in on Dallas BBQ, without a thought of calories and cholesterol.
I phone; I order; they deliver.
I go for the Chicken Vegetable Soup ($3.99 per quart). It will last all week and can cure anything, and also the Rack of Baby Back Ribs. At $10.99, these come with potato or rice plus a side of warm cornbread.
I might have ordered the large BBQ’d chicken ($6.99) but will try that on another day. I also like the starter portion of the crabcake and crispy shrimp ($8.99) - amazingly tasty for a chicken and ribs place.
If you are New Yorker, and you don’t know Dallas BBQ, isn’t it time you discovered it? They are all over the city, but I know the one on Third Avenue. It’s a big barn of a place. For me, it's usually too crowded, with too long a wait at prime time - and they don’t take reservations. I rarely eat dinner at the restaurant, but I often pick up at their Take Out window, or pick up the phone for delivery.
Dallas BBQ participates in the Rewards Network dining programs. With Priority Club Dining, I earn eight points per dollar, including what I spend on tax and tip, that goes directly onto my Priority Club account.
Oops, gotta go. Doorbell ringing. Here comes dinner.
