The UAE has its first smokehouse. Yes we have FUME with a handful of smoked dishes – but Dubai’s Perry & Blackwelder is a new casual American restaurant dedicated to all food smoked over a barbeque. It sits in Souk Madinat Jumeirah replacing the infamous and rather tired Barzar.
The longwinded name, P&B for ease of reference, pays homage to Henry Perry and John Blackwelder, who after the American civil war, took to the roadsides in the South to make a living running barbeque stands, passing on their craft to others.
