Luby's Cafeteria Tampico Steak

Subject: Tampico steak

Hi, my name is Laurie. I worked for Luby's in Waco, when I was still in high school in 1979. 
I used to eat something called Tampico Steak on the Luann platter. After many years had passed, 
I went into a Luby's in Temple, but no one working there remembered that dish. I'm looking for 
Luby's recipe.

Thank you,
Laurie 

Hello Laurie,

Sorry, I cannot find any mention of Luby’s tampico steak or steak tampico. There are recipes on the web for tampico steak and steak tampico and chicken tampico, but the sauce recipes are not consistent and none mention any connection to Luby’s.

I do have a recipe for Luby’s Chicken Enchiladas With Tampico Sauce. You might try the tampico sauce part of that recipe. See: 02-03-2014

I’ll post this on my site for reader input.

Hello,

In the 1970s, when Bloomingdale's in NYC had its own bakery, they used to 
have a cake called "Chocolat baiser". It had chocolate and coffee or mocha 
and crunchy (cookie, wafer or meringue) layers and light chocolate frosting. 
Have you ever found a recipe for it?

Rebecca

Hello Rebecca,

Sorry, I had no success with this. "Chocolat Baiser" means "chocolate kiss" in French. While there are some recipes on the web for "chocolat baiser" (not in English) and many for "chocolate kiss cake", I could not find any that mentioned Bloomingdale's.

I'll post this for reader input.
