Dear SOS : Favorite Restaurant Recipes

Although most of the recipes are home versions from restaurants, Santa Barbara to San Diego, CA, there are a dozen or so from other states, as far away as Vermont. The recipes are universally simple and yield very good results. Some of the restaurants are no longer in existence so this book gives you a chance to recreate a favorite. There are also popular recipes from TGIFriday's, Olive Garden, Clifton's Cafeteria, Chili's, El Torito (those great corncakes), Knott's Berry Farm, Lawry's as well as restaurants such as El Cholo, the Border Grill and the like. There is a recipe from the now gone Twin Tower restaurant in NY. The soup section and the salad section are my favorites, although being able to make at home both Ranger Cookies from LAUSD and the Potatoes Romano from the Original Enterprise Fish Co. in Santa Barbara, CA is worth the price of the book! You'll enjoy the selection whether you have eaten at any of these eateries or not.Because these recipes are reader requested, over time they have endured and, just like on the Millionaire (Who Wants to Be), the Ask The Audience lifeline is almost always right on target. So is this book.
