Chubby's Grilled Shrimp

Subject: Grilled Shrimp/sauce - Chubby's Restaurant
  
I have looked for years to find the recipe for grilled shrimp from a restaurant called Chubby's near Camden, NJ.  
They had charcoal "pits" where they prepared food in the restaurant....it was served with a mayonnaise based sauce 
that had a smoky flavor.  It closed many, many years ago but the memory still lingers..especially that sauce.
 
Friends and family still talk about it (along with the great baked potatoes!).  I am not sure if you can locate it 
or not but I thought it was worth a try--after all you found some Magic Pan recipes!  Thanks.

Hi Ellen,

Chubby’s was a popular spot for over sixty years, closing in 1995. It was variously known as “Chubby’s (1 1/2) Tavern”, “Chubby’s Café”, “Chubby’s Home of the Stars”, and “Chubby’s (1 1/2) Hearth”. As you say, they grilled steaks and shrimp over charcoal pits in the back. Some notable entertainers also performed at Chubby’s. There’s a little history, pictures of menus, and the only mention of the shrimp that I can find are here:
Chubby's

There’s an article about Chubby’s here:
Philly.com

I’m afraid these are all that I could find. I had no success looking for a recipe for the shrimp or the sauce. I’ll post this on the site.

Hi,
I am looking for a recipe for a cake that I used to make many years ago I 
think at Christmas.
It had spices in it but not fruit in the cake and it had glacé fruit, 
cherries and nuts with an apricot jam glaze and I think was cooked in a loaf 
pan. I think it was from an Australian Women's Weekly magazine .
Looking forward to finding it!
Regards,
Diane

Hello Diane,

There is a searchable database of Australian Women's Weekly recipes here:
Recipe Finder

Even after narrowing down the search by using the keywords glace fruit, cherries, apricot jam, and loaf pan, I'm afraid there are still dozens of recipes that contain those words on that site. So, I can do no better. You will have to check those recipes yourself, one at a time, to see if the one you want is there. None of my methods would be an improvement over that process in this instance.

Hello Lakeia,

Sorry, I can’t find any mention at all of the sloppy joes from Central High School in Capital Heights, Maryland. The sloppy joes recipes below are from school cafeterias.

School Cafeteria Sloppy Joes
 
Fry 1 pound of lean hamburger with 1 chopped onion. Drain and set aside in a skillet.
 
Mix the following with a whisk:
1/2 Cup Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Mustard
1 Can Campbell's Tomato Soup (Undiluted.)
A Couple Shakes of Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 Cup Water
 
Pour the mixture over the meat and allow to simmer on low, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes. It will thicken as it simmers. 
Once the pan is taken off the heat and cools for a while, it will really thicken up nicely. Take an ice cream scoop and serve on buns. 
You can also add a little grated cheese.

Rich here again, 
 
I got a great deal on a kenmore quiet guard 3 dishwasher.  How do I find the instructions on how to use it?
 
Thanks ever so much
  
Rich

Hello Rich,

First, write down the model number. You’re going to have to have that no matter where you get the owner’s manual. Then, try here: There are two owner’s manual downloads and one installation manual. Disregard the fact that the manual has a different model #. This is the Sears site and this is what they give for your model.
