An example of humble beginnings with an erroneous vision would be Clinton Street Baking Company. The brand opened in an era where cafes were a home for internet browsing. We all were one of them back in the day. However what helped these cafes to retain loyal customers was simply a combination of cozy relaxing ambiance with good food and organized service.
Clinton St being a true American diner was able to fit in this category easily. Chef Neil Kleinburg and DeDe Lehman the founder couples of the brand, started off by selling comfort food in their own little neighborhood. Being a true foodie from a very young age, Chef Neil's pancakes was voted the best in the city. Soon recognition from both local and international markets came knocking at their door. |
Today the American brand has outlets in New York, Tokyo, Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok. The reason to this would not only be the recognition they earned but also the vision of Neil and DeDe.
The couples have successfully launched their cookbook which is priced at AED200. The book gives the readers an insight into the story-line of the brand and its expansion from a cozy neighborhood parent run business to a globally recognized brand. It also contains recipes for some famous dishes such as the award wining buttermilk chicken, blueberry pancakes and many more.
The brand's local presence has also been a huge success ever since its debut in 2014. Within this small span the brand has already opened two branches in Dubai; one in Citywalk and the other in Burj Views. They also have a pop up stand presence at the #MuchTalkedAbout Last Exit in Jebal Ali.
I decided to pamper myself for a pre weekend brunch on a Thursday morning at their Burj view outlet (First outlet). I was given a heads up by my friend on how heavy their food is. Thus, I decided to a go bit late. I was accompanied by my foodie partner; mother dearest who was equally excited on having some comfort English breakfast.
The outlet fit and ambiance is kept simple with beige furniture and menu boards which you would expect from an American diner. The outlet also has wall posts with the word EAT. This along with the fresh aroma in outlet surely has a psychological effect on any Individual

I have been longing to try their Fried chicken, and therefore, without any browse through the menu I straight away ordered the Fried Chicken and Buttermilk Waffle Combo priced at AED 72. The price might frighten you a bit, but I felt it was just a mind game as you would really want to try it #HighlyRecommened
Besides; the quantity served would easily suffice 2 pax. Speaking about the dish, it was absolute stunner that lived up to the the Social Media hype. The crunchy fried chicken was served on a Belgian Vanilla Waffle bed with warm honey and tobasco sauce as the side. This dip is definitely #OneofaKind and is a proper blend of two extremes.

My mom wanted a spicy sandwich, and a viable option the staff suggested was the Green Chili Burger. Even though she was being a bit resistant on having junk for early brunch I convinced her to give it a try.
The blend of chipotle mayonnaise and green chilli sauce surely made the sandwich hot with flavors. Again the quantity for AED 76 would suffice 2 pax. No doubt we had containers of takeaway for both the dishes as we were unable to finish them. The tender beef burger blended well with the hot sauce mix. To cool it off a bit and for better digestion the sandwich also had avocado slices. It was served along with some fries and green chilli dip.
My experience was surely remarkable for mainly the following reasons; service, quantity and most definite high quality taste. They do have many crazy offers and entertainer voucher which can be redeemed at any time.
So why wait?? Rush down and enjoy more
