Tuesday Luncheon Meeting
May 23, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Join us for this exciting Tuesday luncheon with the founder and owner of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, John Stage. We will be meeting and eating at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que located at 99 Court Street in Rochester. Rochester Rotarian, Paul Guglielmo will be interviewing John.
John Stage, the founder and owner of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, began his career in cooking out on the open road. In 1983, John and two partners started the business by cutting a 55 gallon drum in half to form a makeshift barbeque and hit the road—catering to motorcycle shows, fairs, and festivals up and down the east coast. In 1988, tired of the gypsy lifestyle, Stage decided to settle in Syracuse, NY, where he opened his first Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurant. In the following years, Stage has expanded with locations in Rochester, Manhattan, Troy, Newark, New Jersey, Brooklyn and Buffalo. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que has gained a reputation far and wide for serving some of the best BBQ in the country with a vibrant and lively setting.
