The Dunedin Smokehouse

Ok, so I actually should have written something about this little treasure earlier but i assure you it will have been worth the wait. First of all, let me say that this was discovered by mistake while also on purpose. We were on our way to our favorite little restaurant, The Living Room on Main, and when we pulled into the parking lot it was empty. Not a good thing since this has happened to us before with great restaurants (r.i.p. Grillmarks). But there was a sign on the door that the Living Room had moved to a new location a few blocks away (for the record a great idea in hindsight). Coming soon would be the Dunedin Smokehouse. Now we proceeded to the Living Room and upon questioning the waitress regarding the move, we discovered that the new place would be opened by the same owners as the Living Room. Ok, now I am officially waiting with baited breath. A few weeks go by and we decide to try out the new Dunedin Smokehouse and all I can say is, wow. First of all, the portions are huge. And they have redefined barbecue. Brisket sandwich's so tender they melt in your mouth, smoked sausage with roasted peppers and onions that makes New Orleans stand up and take notice. And the sides are absolutely Living Room material. Smoked Gouda mac and cheese, sauteed green beans, sweet potato fries, and the list goes on. My wife summed it up best when she said, "You know it's good when you are way beyond full, but not finishing every bite would be a shame." And then came one of their special desserts. Now understand that the desserts change each night at the whim of the chef. And oh what a whim he had that night. Peach and apple caramelized crisp with cinnamon ice cream. Oh yes he did. And it was absolutely decadent with each and every bite. Even when the ice cream had melted and the entire thing turned to mush. I am drooling just thinking about it. And the fact that they have games you can play right there at your table is just further temptation to stay and enjoy the food, desserts or a nice nightcap. By the way, we broke the Jenga record that night. So if you are in the mood for barbecue done with a little panache, check out the Dunedin Smokehouse. I promise you wont go home hungry or disappointed.
