Dubai

I know I'm supposed to do as the romans do when in Dubai, but there are just so many American chains here I wasn't quite sure what to look for in terms of "local" food. They have Chili's, Fridays, Cheesecake factory, tony Romas, PF Changs... all the burger joints too, even Fatburger!  There was one little jewel nestled in the Dubai Mall food court.  I had to give in when I saw my beloved Baja Fresh salsa bar from afar... Crispy fish tacos, I had missed you so!

They also feel good going down during the nap on the beach near Burj Al Arab.

I am pleasantly surprised with this destination.  It's definately worth more than a pit stop.
