点评:We are back at Famous Dave’s at Abu Dhabi Mall, the very first of their outlets in the UAE and the very place they got us addicted to their style of low and slow smoked meats which we have been enjoying ever since across their wide network of branches across the UAE.
This visit too is a special occasion, and it's to sample their very special, limited edition, RIB Volution Menu, that seems to have become the talk of the town, and, oh boy, they blew us away, again.
It’s a weekday evening, but the place is quite busy, we are warmly greeted by Mike the manager and Annie who is our hostess for the evening, who shows us to a comfortable table in a quiet corner.
Soon she is back with the menus. Along with the main menu is a slim two-page special, RIB Volution menu, that is entirely dedicated to their insane, grain fed, slow smoked ribs.
There are three starters and three mains and then there is their showstopper, the humungous Big Daddy Platter featuring the biggest grain fed slow smoked rack of dinosaur ribs we have ever seen, it is definitely a sight to behold, absolutely amazing.
We are three very hungry carnivores, and it was hard to decide what to order, so we just decided to eat the menu, which was a first for us ever, imagine going to a restaurant and ordering the entire menu!
Soon Annie has us sorted with our drinks and the starters arrive, which was a pleasant surprise as they hardly took any time. Here’s what we ordered
Quesabiria Tacos – Neatly plated on a neat round black slate platter come these soft tacos bursting with pulled, grain fed, slow smoked short rib topped with cheese, cilantro and pickled onions with their Tex Mex meat sauce, the meat is even softer than the corn tortilla and packed with flavour.
Trimmed Crusts Ribs Pate – an elegant, visually attractive plating of the short rib, this time it's mashed with mayo, sour cream and herbs on sesame toast, amazing flavour, very light and a treat to the eyes.
Smoked Pulled Rib Corn Tacos – This is another superb dish, superbly presented featuring the rib meat in corn tacos topped with cheese, jalapeño mayo and salsa with some perfectly cooked fries on the side, this is one of the highlights of the meal, loved it.
We are enjoying the meal; the ambiance is soothing with tables placed far apart, so each has their own bit of space to enjoy the meal and the company Annie offers us drink refills and soon the mains are served.
Louisiana Aromatic Rice and Rib – A perfect pairing of the slow smoked short rib and aromatic rice with their Tex Mex Sauce served with their house salad, a great meal we could eat daily.
The Belly Grinder – This has the short rib with their rich and sassy sauce served on a sesame baguette topped with cheese, a super delicious and surprisingly light sandwich.
The Highwayman -The slow smoked short ribs paired with their jalapeño mayo, the rich and sassy sauce topped with cheese on a multigrain bun with a short rib taco and fries on the side, perfect combination and ideal for those who are a little hungry
The Big Daddy Platter – This is the star of the show and an absolute mush have, a huge rectangular slab of black slate heaving under the weight of this gigantic, dinosaur rack of grain fed, slow smoked, bone in ribs that is a magnificent sight to see, we have never seen anything quite like this.
The ribs are surrounded with buttered broccoli, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes along with a nice peppercorn sauce, we just nudge the meat, and it falls off the bone, it's soft, juicy and an absolute delight to eat, be warned this is for serious carnivores only.
So, we are completely stuffed, and it's almost closing time, so we reluctantly take our leave, Famous Dave’s has done it again, a superb menu, expertly executed, bursting with flavours.
The ambiance is just right, the service is excellent and all this at s very reasonable price point has made Famous Dave’s a very popular place for a huge number of people, great work guys, see you soon.
翻译:我们回到了阿布扎比购物中心的 Famous Dave's,这是他们在阿联酋的第一家分店,也是他们让我们沉迷于他们的低速和慢速熏肉风格的地方,从那时起我们就在他们广泛的分店网络中享受这种风格整个阿联酋。
这次访问也是一个特殊的场合,它是为了品尝他们非常特别的限量版 RIB Volution 菜单,这似乎已成为该镇的话题,而且,天哪,他们再次让我们震惊。
这是一个工作日的晚上,但这个地方很忙,经理迈克和当晚的女主人安妮热情地迎接我们,她带我们到一个安静角落里舒适的桌子旁。
很快她就拿着菜单回来了。除了主菜单之外,还有一份薄薄的两页特色菜 RIB Volution 菜单,完全专注于他们疯狂的、谷物喂养的慢熏排骨。
有三个开胃菜和三个主菜,然后是他们的招牌菜,巨大的 Big Daddy 拼盘,特色是我们见过的最大的谷物喂养慢熏恐龙排骨架,绝对是一个值得一看的景象,绝对令人惊叹。
我们是三个非常饥饿的食肉动物,很难决定要点什么,所以我们决定吃菜单,这对我们来说是第一次,想象一下去一家餐厅点整个菜单!
很快,安妮就让我们整理好饮料,开胃菜也到了,这是一个惊喜,因为他们几乎没有花时间。这是我们订购的
Quesabiria Tacos——整齐地放在一个整洁的圆形黑色石板盘上,这些柔软的炸玉米饼充满了拉过的、谷物喂养的、慢熏的短肋骨,上面放着奶酪、香菜和腌洋葱和他们的 Tex Mex 肉酱,肉比玉米更软玉米饼和包装的味道。
Trimmed Crusts Ribs Pate – 一种优雅的、视觉上吸引人的短肋骨镀层,这次它在芝麻吐司上捣碎了蛋黄酱、酸奶油和香草,味道惊人,非常清淡,令人赏心悦目。
烟熏拉肋玉米玉米饼——这是另一道绝妙的菜,以玉米玉米饼中的肋骨肉、奶酪、墨西哥蛋黄酱和莎莎酱为特色,配以一些完美烹制的薯条,这是这顿饭的亮点之一,很喜欢.
我们正在享受这顿饭;餐桌之间的距离很远,气氛舒缓,因此每个人都有自己的用餐空间,Annie 公司为我们提供饮料补充装,很快就送来了主菜。
Louisiana Aromatic Rice and Rib – 慢熏短排骨和香米与他们的 Tex Mex 酱和自制沙拉的完美搭配,我们可以每天吃一顿美餐。
The Belly Grinder – 这是一种短肋骨,配以浓郁而美味的酱汁,配以芝麻法式长棍面包,上面铺有奶酪,是一种超级美味且清淡的三明治。
The Highwayman - 慢速烟熏短排骨搭配墨西哥辣椒蛋黄酱,浓郁而时髦的酱汁配上杂粮面包上的奶酪,配以短肋骨炸玉米饼和薯条,完美组合,非常适合那些有点饿的人
大爸爸拼盘——这是节目的明星,绝对是一大亮点,一块巨大的长方形黑色石板板在这个巨大的恐龙架的重压下起伏,用谷物喂养,慢熏,肋骨中的骨头,这是一个壮观的景象看,我们从来没有见过这样的东西。
排骨周围环绕着黄油西兰花、玉米棒和土豆泥以及美味的胡椒酱,我们只需轻推肉,它就会从骨头上掉下来,它柔软多汁,吃起来绝对令人愉悦,请注意这是仅适用于严重的食肉动物。
所以,我们吃饱了,快关门了,所以我们依依不舍地告辞了,Famous Dave's 又做了一次,菜单一流,制作精良,风味十足。
氛围恰到好处,服务一流,所有这一切都以非常合理的价格让 Famous Dave's 成为许多人非常喜欢的地方,伟大的工作人员,很快再见。
