I've been out as well as well-nigh lately as well as busy doing sooo many things (hint: I went dorsum to my abode province for a bestie's marriage ceremony final calendar week as well as at nowadays planning to a greater extent than or less other i for to a greater extent than or less other bestie!)! With all these things coming, I am hopeful as well as excited for greater things but of class I volition continue my readers posted *wink*. Since final month, events as well as surprises came pouring inwards that I can't fifty-fifty impact my weblog anymore. Luckily, I had the spare fourth dimension to produce i today as well as I promise, you'll last getting to a greater extent than of my previous eating sprees from dissimilar parts of the UAE (yes, I sometimes become out of Dubai but to eat!).
One of those I have got tried was inwards Abu Dhabi - the eatery is called Famous Dave's located inwards Abu Dhabi Mall.
Who Is Dave as well as Why Is He Extra Famous?
When my roomie's mom visited DXB final December, nosotros made certain to accept her to i of Abu Dhabi's tourist attraction (The Grand Mosque) earlier she flies dorsum to PH, nosotros had luncheon at Famous Dave's afterwards nosotros received an invite from Mister C. He promised that the long drive from DXB to AUH volition last worth it, as well as he did continue it.
The shop managing director was at that spot when nosotros arrived, as well as the starting fourth dimension interrogation I asked was 'Who is Dave?'. He pointed out to the photograph hanging on the wall close the entrance, amongst Dave showcasing his legendary method of cooking his famous barbecue - a reconstructed garbage tin loaded amongst hickory wood. Of class the method evolved over fourth dimension but i matter remained the same: they all the same slow-cook their beef ribs using hickory woods for 4-10 long hours.
Famous Dave's Trivia: Famous Dave opened his starting fourth dimension BBQ Shack inwards 1994 inwards Hayward, Wisconsin. It became wildly popular, serving upwards to 5,000 people a calendar week inwards a town of entirely 1,800. Today, the Original Famous Dave’s is i of the most photographed restaurants inwards Wisconsin.
At starting fourth dimension glance, you lot powerfulness run into a dim atmosphere but when you lot become farther to where the windows are, the eatery is genuinely good lighted. Long tables for large groups are available, infants tin last given a high chair when needed. When nosotros dined on a Friday, bulk of the guests were Arab families. We picked a spot close the window (for photograph purposes of course!).
We straight off placed our gild starting from their Authentic Appetizers, Hand-Crafted American Flatbreads, Pitmaster Platters, downwards to their Heavenly Homemade Desserts.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lady came inwards afterwards taking our orders, placed an empty plate as well as pocket-sized bucket of chips inwards the middle as well as poured inwards to a greater extent than or less sauce inwards triangular shapes: each barbecue sauce have got dissimilar flavours! Barbecue sauce tip: mix as well as match, but I highly recommend Rich & Sassy® amid all sauces.
Then the orders came inwards i past times one, as well as the tabular array was total - I wasn't prepared for a feast. The servings were therefore huge that a platter for 2-3 powerfulness fifty-fifty feed well-nigh half dozen people.
Here's what nosotros had:
Burnt Ends, a 'Dave Recommended' Authentic Appetizer - These are tender pieces of Texas Beef Brisket seared as well as caramelized amongst Sweet & Zesty® BBQ sauce. It comes amongst lightly breaded as well as flash-fried onion strings, served amongst rémoulade sauce .
Cedar Plank Salmon - this Pitmaster Platter arrived on our tabular array past times surprise. The shop managing director insisted every bit he said it's i of the best sellers that nosotros genuinely had to try. This Norweigan salmon was grilled, glazed as well as caramelized, as well as served on a smoldering cedar plank. Did nosotros similar it? Of class nosotros did.
Smoky Beef Bacon Bleu, to a greater extent than or less other 'Dave Recommended' from their Hand-Crafted American Flatbreads card - had I known the large servings at Famous Dave's this could have got been laid aside for accept away. White BBQ sauce topped amongst brie as well as blueish cheese, caramelized onions, beef bacon as well as crisp arugula - who volition e'er tell no?
Then came a platter, Feast For Two (good for 2-3 people) every bit how they called it, amongst generous servings of Beef Back Ribs, Country-Roasted Chicken & Texas Beef Brisket; Creamy Coleslaw, Baked Beans, Famous Fries, Sweet Corn as well as Corn Bread Muffins and I was caught inwards a real proficient nutrient comma. All meat were deadening cooked, you lot tin run into the portions coming out of their bones inwards tenderness. Just remembering how I nicely placed them on my plate as well as like shooting fish in a barrel into my mouth...heaven.
The Verdict: We haven't tried anything that nosotros didn't like. I volition definitely recommend this for families amongst large appetite, the serving is huge as well as it's genuinely filling. The proficient intelligence is, it volition non wound your pocket. My favorite inwards the card is their Feast For Two at entirely AED 199 as well as the residual is somewhere betwixt AED40-100. If you're planning to visit, the best timings volition last 12nn until 1:30pm every bit it gets a petty busy from 2pm onwards.
