How it started
Started with one grill and a queue out the door
Double Stack opened in Dubai in 2014 with a single grill, a fryer and a menu chalked up on a board because there was never time to get one printed. The queue reached the door before the sign outside was even hung straight, and the menu has stayed short on purpose ever since — it is the only way a counter this size keeps moving on a Friday night.
We still cook the same way we did on day one: nothing goes in the bag until it has been ordered, and nothing sits under a heat lamp waiting for someone to want it. That is slower than reheating a tray of patties in one go, and it is also the whole reason people keep coming back for it.
