Ivory Mandarin Bistro-Dunedine

Ivory Bistro is not a favorite Chinese restaurant of ours but this is the only place really in the area and the only one that serves Peking Duck. We don't go here to often because the restaurant is not like it use to be. I think because the service is really bad it takes forever to get waited on they never come back to check on you. Waited 20 minutes before someone came by to take our order. And it wasn't even the young girl that brought our Ice Tea's over. I believe the lady who took our order may have been the owner. This restaurant has a strange way of doing things, one owner takes your order one person brings your order and another owner brings your check. The food isn't great but its close by. I ordered an eggroll. It's your typically eggroll. Next we had crispy tofu firm and lightly deep fried with a sweet soy sauce. Then Peking Duck one course for two. A big platter with deboned duck meat and skin removed. This is done the traditional way. Served with moo shu pancakes, hoi son sauce, finely sliced green onions and white rice. Even thou the service wasn't great the food was ok.

Eli's Bar-B-Que-Dunedin

Theirs this little old shack of a house in Dunedin Fl by the Pinellas trail, it's not much a very small building small parking lot and some picnic tables under some trees. This is take out BBQ, there only open two days a week. This place is alway busy so get there early. When they run out of food thats it. They were out of chicken today and it was only 2 o'clock. It's not great BBQ but it was satisfying. This was are first time here so we got family size slab of ribs served with large baked beans and slaw $27.00. 1LB. sausage meat only $8.00 and chopped pork sandwich $4.50 (sandwich only).  They serve your everyday BBQ beef, pork, chicken and rib. And baked beans and slaw.

 As you can see there is no sauce and no rub just smoked ribs. Sauce is saved on the side two kinds regular and hot we got regular. The ribs were a little tender not fall off the bone tender but easy to chew. They were good.

The pork sandwich was very good.  It's a nice size served on a bun again no sauce.  The pork was very tender definitely would get again.

 The sausage was good but it was more on the side of a fresh sausage almost like an italian. Not like a smoked kielbasa which is what I prefer but it was good, especially with the BBQ sauce.

This is your typically sides a mayo slaw and bake beans.

For you MIKE
