The Great New York State Fair in Syracuse, NY

I just went upstate from NYC to visit family a week and a half ago. We went to the fair last Monday and caught the Amtrak right from the fairgrounds. We made it to the Gianelli Sausage/Dinosaur Barbque booth for lunch. The rib platter was great: smoky, tender, a little chew to them, with a nice amount of sauce cooked on to them. the sausage was great too, although I wish I had gotten the hot instead of the sweet. I have pics, but how do I paste them on to my topic message?

I've always included a link from a place like photobucket.com

Alright, here we go!! Yes, I'm still trying to FIND the "information superhighway". Anyway, here is the rib platter with beans and slaw I had for lunch
Along with the sweet sausage with peppers and onions sandwich to help stimulate the appetite!

Those pics are so beautiful, they brought a tear to my eye. Err, ok, more like a drop of drool to the corner of my mouth, but you get the idea. Thanks for sharing!

GREAT PICS!!!!

I don't get to The Fair anymore, since I'm out-of-state now, but I do miss it.

Anyone know what the butter sculpture was this year?

As a matter of fact I do:

Oh, the Dinosaur BBQ......
Gotta love it...
Hungry now...
Nice shots...
Thanks for sharing with us...
I also saw some more of your photos on other threads.
Very nice...Those salt potatoes look delicious...

Thanks BillyBoy!!!

Hey BillyBoy, are those Grandma Brown baked beans in that pic?

Great pix...I also was at the fair this past weekend. I actually went to the Dinosaur restaurant for the first time. Food was actually pretty good,especially the ribs,brisket,BBQ beans and cole slaw. I also had breakfast at the Little Gem diner on the west side. What a dump! Food was good though. Sorry I don't have any pix to show, I was too busy eating my way through the weekend. Went out to Turning Stone Casino in Verona, for the all you can eat Int'l Buffet. Last but not least, before I hit the highway I stopped to fill up my cooler with Hoffmanns Snappys and got a few loaves of eye-talian bread from Columbus Bakery. Time to go back on a diet!!!

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I think that Dinosaur BBQ can match up to any there is, and their side dishes are the best. As far as Little Gem Diner, in my humble opion it is a diner and not a dump! And the food is great. The one place where I think the food is really quite poor is at the Turning Stone Casino. Years ago, they had a great chef but it tastes like hospital food to me now.

I like Little Gem a lot, but also Serpico's on the North Side is a fantastic diner on the north side.

speaking of NYS diners, this website showcases some old gems with updated information in whether the place is open, re-opening, closed, or demolished.

Hey Scorereader, no Grandma Browns at Dino's, but I did pack a few cans of them in my bag to take back to the city! Think I'll bake 'em with mustard, brown sugar, and bacon. Just like home!

You just completely reminded me of why my baked beans are never as good as my dads...its the MUSTARD I have been forgetting all these years!!Thanks for the hit on the head!

I misread the sign. I didn't realize that was the Dinosaur BBQ tent.
I love their beans! I always get 'em as a side and the jumbalaya when it's the special.

I think it's great tnat you can still get 25 cent milks and a free potato.
