Fall favorite brings special BBQ-inspired menu plus whiskey dinner series every Wednesday for five weeks.
Marlow's Tavern, the neighborhood eatery known for its innovative approach to classic American fare, is bringing back its infamous Ribs & Whiskey menu this fall.
Starting Sept. 10 and available for lunch and dinner daily for five weeks at all locations including three here in Central Florida at LEE VISTA, 6889 Eagle Watch Drive, Orlando, WATERFORD LAKES, 547 N. Alafaya Trail, Orlando, and OVIEDO, 352 Mike Roberto Way, Oviedo,
As an additional midweek treat this year, each Marlow’s location hosts a Whiskey Dinner Series every Wednesday at 7 pm. These three-course dinners spotlight a different spirits partner each week.
Guests enjoying the Ribs & Whiskey menu or the Whiskey Dinner Series are also entered into a drawing to win exclusive whiskey bottles, a Big Green Egg, a Yeti Cooler filled with goodies from Certified Angus Beef, and more.
“Nothing says fall quite like tender, slow-cooked BBQ paired with a distinguished selection of whiskeys, and Marlow’s Ribs & Whiskey menu has become an icon of the season since we started the tradition back in 2009,” says executive chef, CEO and co-founder John C. Metz. “We look forward to this smokin’ good time every year and can’t wait to celebrate with our guests.”
This year’s Ribs & Whiskey menu is a “Meat & Three” celebration featuring two sauces to satisfy tangy and spicy or sweet and smoky cravings: Jack Daniel’s Glaze and Carolina Mustard BBQ. Guests can pair these with a full or half rack of fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, brined and grilled Prestige Farms chicken breast, grilled Atlantic salmon or slow-smoked, fork-tenderCertified Angus Beef smoked brisket. All are served with chili-slathered corn on the cob, jicama slaw and jalapeño corn muffins.
Marlow’s Tavern is excited to partner with Certified Angus Beef this year, the original brand of premium beef, created in the 1970s and raised then and now by family farmers and ranchers. The mission of Certified Angus Beef is simple and unchanged: to support farmers and ranchers in rural communities through a brand of premium beef that offers consumers consistent quality, thereby creating demand and adding value for Angus cattle.
