Scientists refused to speculate about the taste, but everyone else is jumping to the obvious conclusion.
Well I’ve eaten crocodile and snake, and neither of them were anything like chicken.
Nor was “mountain chicken” aka “crapaud” in Dominican patois, aka “frog” (leptodactylus fallax).
I’d imagine t-rex would be more like crocodile than anything else.
So who’s opening the Jurassic Park-style restaurant?
It’s like catching lobsters in a tank, only you watch the T-Rexs storm about in a cage…
Would they have to breed mini-T-rexes before it would be a viable commercial venture?
You might want to email a mod to have the thread title changed to “T-Rexes Tasted Like Chicken!” or “KFC’s Gonna Need a Bigger Bucket for T Rex Drumsticks” or similar, as I almost posted the article myself, until I saw your thread title and clicked on it thinking that you might have beaten me to the punch. This is really huge news, and it doesn’t look like too many people have bothered to check this thread so far. Changing the title might bump up the views.
Oh yeah, here’s a piece announcing the original discovery of the soft tissues.
And here’s an article about what appears to be the same protein found in dino eggs of a different species.
Another good title suggestion: Dinos the Other White Meat.
I’ve always wanted to taste Marc Bolan.
I’ve sent the email asking for a title change.
Thanks for the links, Tuckerfan.
Heck, Asimov wrote a story about this aeons ago – scientists bring back a dino from the past, it ends up dying on some electrodes or something, and smells delicious, so a business start up harvesting dinosaurs from the past for gourmet restaurants. I don’t think it “explained” the extinction of the dinosaurs, fortunately – that would’ve been too corny,. But it did have a great scene with the waiter describing the preparation of the dish.
Mmmmmm, T-Rex fajitas!!! “Here leezerd, leezerd, leezerd!” 
…with their tiny little front claws rubber-banded securely, for safety.
