David W. Anderson
Recipe(s) from FAMOUS DAVE'S BACKROADS & SIDESTREETS by Dave Anderson.
Serves: 6 |
I am a frequent customer of Famous Dave's
Restaurant in Richmond, Virginia. I used to say that my favorite dish at
Famous Dave's was the ribs. But after many trips to Famous Dave's I now
include the entire menu as my favorites. He has a chicken and wild rice
soup that is absolutely wonderful If you haven't tried Famous Dave's then
I suggest you do. If there is no Famous Dave's close to you, try his
cookbook:
http://www.famousdaves.com/shop.cfm or you can find it at Barnes & Noble or
Amazon. All proceeds from cookbook sales are donated to The
LifeSkills Center for Leadership.
