Everyone loves to try the dinner special, but there’s a reason the server usually doesn’t mention the price — more often than not it’s a good deal pricier than the rest of the menu! Not the case, however, at eatery-slash-general store The General Greene. With entrées starting at $16 and drinks running an average of $9, I didn’t anticipate a particularly thrifty evening. Until I heard about the night’s $15 dinner special, that is. On this particular night, the dish on offer was Asian spice-rubbed short ribs served with a tasty slaw. The rib meat was tender, the sauce divine — even spiced with sriracha, which always holds the key to my heart! And bites of creamy slaw were the perfect way to cool my mouth between bites of spicy, delicious short rib. Oh, and did I mention that the $15 also included a cocktail? Compared with the rest of the menu it seemed like highway robbery. But prison might be worth it for this one.
