| - I'm always up for BBQ, so when my group of coworkers planned on dinner at Black Dog, I knew I had to join!
Why choose 1 meat when you can get a 2- or 3-combo platter? On that note, I chose the burnt ends and pulled pork, which are always my go-to meats. I had high hopes, but the burnt ends were really charred and chewy on the crust and excessively fatty otherwise. With the pork, it had this unexpectedly greasy, slick, plasticy feel, and it made me miss the likes of Smoque in Chicago. My other observation was that the portions of meat were rather skimpy, relative to what I've received at other establishments.
Each platter comes with 2 sides, so I chose fries (basic, hard to mess up) and slaw (your healthiest choice of side here). You also get to choose the kind of BBQ sauce you want, and I was satisfied with the mustard-based one. Service was really attentive, and no hassle with getting separate checks. The waiter handled everything on an iPad, and we could choose to have the receipt emailed or printed.
