 Subject: Hudson Gardens veal cutlet recipe?

 No matter how many years have passed since the 60's I have never forgotten 
 the veal cutlet Parmesan it was my favorite dish and the place I took my 
 wife on out first dinner date.... Oh how I miss the old Burg??.    I am a 
 pretty good cook and Italian dishes my major but I can't seem to duplicate 
 the cutlet it was nice and plump not thin pounded out and tasteless like 
 most recipes I suspect the cutlets was a respectable piece of veal leg at 
 least 3/8 thick cutlet breaded and fried.   Desperately searching for the 
 recipe can anyone help?  J.R. 

Hello JR,

Is this the Hudson (Beer) Gardens in Trenton, NJ? I am finding multiple establishments named "Hudson Gardens."

Oh yes the Hudson Gardens on the corner of Mott and Clinton I believe

Hello JR,

I believe it was on the corner of Hudson & Mott.

I had no success finding anything at all about the veal parmesan or veal cutlet parmigiana from there. I'll post this for reader input.

Dear Phaedrus-
My mother used to make a recipe from Craig Claiborne called Chicken 
Parisian. I may have the spelling incorrect.
I believe it was published in the New York Times in in the 70’s. I would 
love to make it for my sister’s birthday as she
was a big fan.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Thanks,
Kathy 

Hi Kathy,

Although I found multiple recipes called "chicken parisian", "parisian chicken", "chicken parisienne", and "poulet parisienne", I could not find any mention at all online of such a recipe by Craig Claiborne.

Below are a sampling of the recipes that I did find. The first one is typical of the majority of recipes by those names.

I must admit that we do not have any Craig Claiborne cookbooks. I'll post this for reader input.

Dream Fudge

Dear Phaedrus,

  In 1972, I worked in Seattle and was given a "Magic Fudge" recipe which was our family favorite 
for many years until one of my daughters accidentally lost the recipe after making our Christmas 
tradition gift of this fudge. We have tried duplicating it with no success. 

  The ingredients I remember were :
  Butter
  Evaporated milk
  Semi sweet chocolate chips
  Milk chocolate
  Mini marshmallows 
  Marshmallow cream
  Sugar
  Nuts (optional) 

  I have looked at the recipes you have listed for fudge but though similar, they are not the same. 

  CORRECTION:
  It was called Dream Fudge

  Thank you,
  Debby

Hi Debby,

I found dozens of fudge recipes with similar ingredients to your description. They have basically the same ingredients, and are called by several names, including Dream Fudge, Fantasy Fudge, and Three Minute Fudge. However, they all call for either marshmallow crème or mini marshmallows or sometimes regular marshmallows. I could not find even one recipe that called for both marshmallow crème and mini marshmallows. I believe a “dream fudge” recipe was on the Kraft Marshmallow cream jar at one time, and also that one was on the Kraft “Jet-Puffed” marshmallows bag at one time, but those called for either the crème or the marshmallows – not both.

See the examples on these sites and below:
Kraft Fantasy Fudge
