Great Famous Dave's dinner

Well, it was odd not having a Famous Fans challenge this week but it worked out well as my wife and I spent all weekend moving...well, just about all weekend. We did take a break on Friday night to catch dinner at Famous Dave's with some friends.

We got the Famous Feast. So much food. So stinkin' good! Man, I love that place!

The results are in

Jay was the winner of the Famous Fans contest, Sean took 2nd and Lina and I tied for 3rd.

First let me say Congratulations to Jay, Sean and Linda!!! Great job all of you!

As I am a very competitive person I'm not thrilled about the end results. I wish I would have been able to get more of my friends to actually participate as I feel that would have helped me a great deal.

Oh well, that's life. Again, Congrats to Jay, Sean and Linda.

Ok so TODAY'S the day

Today we are supposed to find out who won the Famous Dave's Famous Fans contest. I'm really sad that this whole thing is over. It's been so much fun and gave me a built-in excuse to go to FD's...not that I needed one, of course!

One meal

I was thinking about this the other day. If I had to choose one meal for my "final meal" what would it be? It didn't take long at all to realize the Famous Feast is the perfect "final meal" I mean you get the best of everything with the Beef Brisket, Chopped Pork, Ribs and BBQ chicken pretty much cover all of your meat bases. Throw in the cole slaw and of course, there's nothing better than Famous Dave's Corn on the Cob, so I've got my veggies covered (yes I know it's technically a starch but just go with me on this one), then you have cornbread and Famous Fries so my starches are in there too...now for the fruit...Drunken Apples. Top it off with a sweet tea and it's the perfect meal. Now what about Dairy you say? Well that's what the Dixie Minis are for, of course.

And before you read this thinking "I thought the Famous Dave's contest was over? Why is he still writing about their food like that?" The truth is, I actually DID think about this whole scenario over the weekend. We tried to make it to FD's so I could dive into the Feast but since we are currently in the process of moving, things have been a little busy.

Or not...

Got an email this evening that the decision hasn't been made yet and will be postponed til Tuesday...I'll keep ya posted

Today's the day

Today we find out who won the Famous Dave's Famous Fans contest. I'm really excited to finally find out, this week just seemed to drag on forever!

Even though the contest is over, I plan on keeping this blog going chronicling my visits to Famous Dave as I bring more new people, try new menu items, or just have an overall wonderful experience as always!

Besides I feel like I have a lot more ideas for the Famous Dave's folks to help make Famous Dave's even better. For example, maybe when people sign up for the P.I.G. membership they can also sign up for Famous Dave's Famous Facts and once a month/week/day, whatever, they will be emailed a fact about Food, BBQ, Dave, Their Locations, etc. Something like "Even though it has only been open for a couple years, the Fort Myers Famous Dave's is #4 in total sales" or "In the Carolinas, their BBQ sauce has a vinegar base, unlike Kansas City which has the tomato sauce base...and in Memphis, they do a dry rub with no sauce" or something like that. Maybe there can even be a trivia contest for the fans and the winner each month/week, etc gets a free meal at FD's...just one idea I have. I've got some more and I'll put 'em up here as they hit me.

Well, good luck to all the other Famous Fans, if they had half as much fun as I did during this whole thing, they had a blast!

Thanks again to Famous Dave's and JRP for putting this whole thing on! My friends and family that helped out with this contest and I all had a great time and are very grateful for the opportunity!

Won the last Challenge

YEAH!!! I was fortunate enough to win challenge #10 this week! Now it comes down to the judges to see who wins the whole thing. Good luck everyone!
