Foxwoods Resort Opens David Burke Prime
JULY 3, 2008. Celebrated Chef David Burke will bring his culinary expertise to Foxwoods Resort Casino, with the opening of David Burke Prime on July 9, 2008. All cuts of meat served at the restaurant will be imported directly from Creekstone Farms in Kentucky and dry-aged for 28 to 75 days in the restaurant's in-house dry-aging room. In addition, David Burke Prime will offer thousands of bottles of premium wine from around the world.
"It has been a pleasure partnering with David Burke here at Foxwoods," said Dennis Khanh, vice president of food & beverage, Foxwoods Resort Casino. "Following the successful opening of Burke in the Box in May, we are looking forward to even more success with the debut of David Burke Prime at Foxwoods, a world class steakhouse that will no doubt be highly popular among our clientele."
Located on the hotel level of Grand Pequot Tower in Foxwoods Resort Casino, the 13,000-square-foot steakhouse will seat 280 people and feature a 35-foot tall wine tower escalating up three stories to the casino level. In addition, the restaurant will include a 28-seat bar and 1,700-square-foot private banquet area, accommodating up to 100 people.
David Burke Prime was designed by the Friedmutter Group of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and will incorporate many design ideas and influences of its head chef David Burke. Similar to David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago, which was just voted Best Steakhouse in Chicago, David Burke Prime will feature an aging room with walls lined in imported pink Himalayan rock salt, crafted here in the U.S. The restaurant's state of the art aging room, designed by Chef Burke himself, will allow meat to age longer and enhances its flavor.
Signature menu items will include appetizers such as Pretzel Crusted Crab cake with mango and poppy seed honey; Surf & Turf Dumplings with lobster, lemon, braised short rib and horseradish cheddar; and Steak Tartare with 'Quail Egg Salad.' The raw bar will offer The Pequot Tower, which includes a variety of lobster, shrimp, clams, oysters and jumbo crab legs serving two-four persons. A selection of dry-aged and DB Prime steaks will be available along with David Burke Prime Signature Sauces as garnishes. Other entr'ees will include The Famous Crackling Pork Shank; Braised Beef Short Ribs 'Stroganoff' and Wood Roasted Patriot Chicken.
