It is made on a stone...so hopefully it will have some brick oven qualities.
OMG... salivationgalore... please forward all recipe details NOW>>>:shock:
Allifunn....I have a recipe for shrimp and grits that I badgered out of a chef at a restaurant in Wilmington, NC. I haven't tried it on my guests as yet because I am concerned that people making reservations at my Inn hear my accent and are afraid that I will try to force grits on 'em. I think if I make this recipe and just don't mention that grits are in the ingredients, they may like it.jpreus, Alli makes a pretty mean shrimp and grits herself. I missed breakfast at the Washaway that morning, but I got to eat them later, and they were still yummy! I looked it up for you, grits is a plural noun, but it can be used with either a singular or plural verb. :roll:No help at all! Sorry.
BTW....is "grits" singular or plural? Do you say, "Grits is on the menu" or Grits are on the menu." I have never been able to figure that out......


Edited
Ours has just opened and it's located on the busiest street next to the largest mall in the NW suburbs. And with prices like you mentioned, it will stay in business for a couple of years.

P.S. Alli--loved your menu from last night!
Johnrudy, where is the Ted's? Might have to give it a try on our next trip.
Can someone tell me how to multiquote?!?!?

Brats! now that sounds like an idea for the soiree... great fall food!!! :clap_1: a wisconsin friend showed us the technique years ago.. better than a burger, IMO.

I've said this in another thread, but his family in WI was so into brats that they'd get their butcher to make custom brats for them with various combinations of meats and spices (Sheboygan brats, beef brats, etc.).

Have you ever done shrimp and grits? It has tasso in it too...and I have found a way to make a casserole using the ingredients...more like a souffle'
Oh, tasso grits??? how did you prepare it?
Orzo is my new favorite food. I have a few recipes, and they are just delicious, and so easy.
Tasso and grits? Are you willing to share the recipe? Sounds yummmmmmmmy
Below is a good sounding recipe from Emeril...cannot go wring when adding white cheddar cheese IMO. I would decrease the amounts to make less.

IWIWT....Add some cream cheese and you are in business!!!
I make my grits...then make my shrimp sauce...add the two together...whip egg whites until they are stiff...fold them into the grits...gently place the mixture into a well greased, deep casserole dish...bake for 20-30 minutes...comes out perfect...and stays fluffy for a long time...the grits don't get hard...Jpreus...your guests will LOVE this! Money back guarontee...whooo wheee!

Thank you, gull!it's easy to do percy. just do it.Dunzo! :clap_1:
It is located on Meachum Rd., directly west of Woodfield Mall (& I-90/94) and just south off Golf Rd. I believe it's right next door to Weber Grill and Chicago Prime Steakhouse ($$$$). The main shopping node with Ikea, etc.Got it--can almost picture it, in fact! Maybe we can share a meal there sometime in the next couple of months.
Thanks for asking this Pea!Look, Rita, we learned something new today!
Y'all have made me hungry. Here is my secret recipe:
Cut a piece of harvest grain bread
Get a piece of cheese out of the fridge
Pour a glass of wine
Sit down and wait for the new show, Brothers and Sisters, with Calista Flockhart and Sally Fields....and try to stay awake!

You have just planned my dinner. Thanks for posting. Tonight the only thing that would make it easier would be if I could get it pre-chewed. I am a tired puppy.Well, here I go....good night everyone!

our wisconsin friend taught us to prepare brats in this way (there are thousands of variations I've found).
Johnsonville bratwurst - thaw and soak in plain water (hydrate)
grill
add cooked brats to large simmering pot of: water, beer, onion, butter.
serve brats on hamburger buns, pre-buttered and toasted. cut brats in half lengthwise to fit on bun. add mustard, mayo, ketchup, and onion from pot.
eat with gusto! these are really so delicious.
:Edited
Milwaukee-girl born and raised here - this is how I do da' brats:
1. Grill Johnsonville Brats - the plain ole' Brats, not the Beer and Brats kind. Don't worry about making sure they are fully cooked at this point - you really just want to grill them for the grilled flavor and overcooking here makes them lose all the good juice.
2. Either on the stove or in a pan that you can place directly on the grill, add brats, a can or two of beer (depending on how many brats you are cooking), LOTS of sliced onion, a few cloves of sliced garlic, butter (at least 1/2 stick and up to a stick is necessary!!) and cover 'em in sauerkraut.
3. Cover and simmer (not boil!!) at least an hour but you can simmer up to 3 hours. The key is to slowly simmer them here.
4. Serve on a soft roll or buns (I LOVE Bunny Buns with brats) with ketchup and mustard.
Can serve (actually, SHOULD serve) with Homemade Coleslaw and Potato Salad, and potato chip.
