Starting July 23, TT Custom BBQ will host Burger Night every Sunday. The motorcycle-themed steakhouse will offer up a 1 kilogram (2.2lb) patty made from Angus beef brisket and served with almost half a kg of French fries. Diners can then customise their buns with a range of fillings and sauces.
Priced at Dh300 a pop, the whopper of a burger – or as TT describes it: a "meaty beast" – is strictly for diehard carnivores with a very healthy appetite. Those who are actually more health-inclined, can choose the children's option, a miniature version of the burger, priced at Dh89.
The restaurant also serves authentic Turkish grills and roasts, and shishas sourced from Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. A must-try – if you have any stomach space left – is ayran, a yogurt-based drink, which is poured directly from a traditional Turkish vessel suspended from the ceiling.
The interior is designed to look and feel like a garage, complete with gas pumps for door handles, screw-wrench cutlery and chair arms inspired by fuel tanks. In addition to the biker atmosphere, there is a large outdoor terrace (it can accommodate 150 guests), with customised motorcycle models on display.
Named for Turkey-based TT Custom Motors, the company responsible for designing the automotives seen in films such as The Expendables and Mad Max, the Box Park burger joint opened in Dubai in February, a year after the launch of TT Custom UAE.

Basquiat in Abu Dhabi
One of Basquiat’s paintings, the vibrant Cabra (1981–82), now hangs in Louvre Abu Dhabi temporarily, on loan from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
The latter museum is not open physically, but has assembled a collection and puts together a series of events called Talking Art, such as this discussion, moderated by writer Chaedria LaBouvier.
It's something of a Basquiat season in Abu Dhabi at the moment. Last week, The Radiant Child, a documentary on Basquiat was shown at Manarat Al Saadiyat, and tonight (April 18) the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is throwing the re-creation of a party tonight, of the legendary Canal Zone party thrown in 1979, which epitomised the collaborative scene of the time. It was at Canal Zone that Basquiat met prominent members of the art world and moved from unknown graffiti artist into someone in the spotlight.
“We’ve invited local resident arists, we’ll have spray cans at the ready,” says curator Maisa Al Qassemi of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
Guggenheim Abu Dhabi's Canal Zone Remix is at Manarat Al Saadiyat, Thursday April 18, from 8pm. Free entry to all. Basquiat's Cabra is on view at Louvre Abu Dhabi until October

Cultural fiesta
What: The Al Burda Festival
When: November 14 (from 10am)
Where: Warehouse421, Abu Dhabi
The Al Burda Festival is a celebration of Islamic art and culture, featuring talks, performances and exhibitions. Organised by the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, this one-day event opens with a session on the future of Islamic art. With this in mind, it is followed by a number of workshops and “masterclass” sessions in everything from calligraphy and typography to geometry and the origins of Islamic design. There will also be discussions on subjects including ‘Who is the Audience for Islamic Art?’ and ‘New Markets for Islamic Design.’ A live performance from Kuwaiti guitarist Yousif Yaseen should be one of the highlights of the day.
