Dear Mr. Welch:

We are in receipt of your letter of April 8, 2009, requesting on behalf of Vicuña Advisors a seat on the Board of Directors of Famous Dave’s. Please be advised that there currently is no vacancy on the Board. Also, we could not ascertain from your request the name of your proposed candidate or that candidate’s qualifications. Should an opening arise, we would be willing to entertain qualified candidates to serve on the Board, and direct your attention to the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and Practices which is posted on the Company’s website, and which details the criteria we look for in a proposed candidate. We do note and strongly disagree with your view that Vicuña is entitled to representation on the Board solely by virtue of the size of its equity ownership.

We appreciate your past and look forward to your continued support as the Company navigates through these difficult economic times and will continue to entertain your insights and suggestions concerning the Company’s operations, use of capital, and strategic direction as we have faithfully done in the past.

Sincerely,

Famous Dave’s of America, Inc.
