Hello Ed,
I can't find any drink recipes from Finn & Porters on the web. Finn & Porter's
has a website with their lunch & dinner menus and their wine list, but not
their drink menu.
Therefore, I am reduced to guessing. Based on the clues of the "F" and the
ingredients that you give, what I come up with is a "Flirtini." See the recipe
below.
Phaed
The Flirtini:
3 oz. Premium Vodka
1 oz. Cranberry Juice
1 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. Champagne (of your choice)
Shake gently, (otherwise champagne will blow the top off of your shaker),
with chipped ice, while doing a little jig to "Shake your Groove Thing".
Serve in a chilled martini glass with an orange spiral. Serves 2, shouldn't
be consumed alone!

Hi Kelly,
I cannot locate a recipe for homemade breaded fried vegetable sticks.
It appears that Farm Rich still makes these, but only sells them
institutionally, to schools, etc.
Perhaps you will just have to experiment with different breading recipes
until you find one that you like. The one used for fried eggplant sticks in
the recipe below is one idea. Just use your choice of veggies instead of the
eggplant.
Phaed
Fried Eggplant Sticks
1 (1 pound) eggplant, peeled
Salt and pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 slices day-old bread
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Grated Romano cheese
Cut eggplant lengthwise into 3 x 1/2-inch sticks. Sprinkle with salt and
let drain in a colander for 30 minutes.
Pat the eggplant sticks dry. Place a little salt, pepper and flour in a
bag. Put eggplant in a bag and shake, coating with seasoned flour. Place
bread in food processor and process to make bread crumbs. Shake excess
flour off eggplant sticks. Dip in milk, let excess milk drip off, then
dredge in bread crumbs. Shake off excess bread crumbs.
Heat deep oil to 350 degrees F. Fry in batches until golden brown. Drain
on paper towels. Sprinkle with grated Romano cheese.

Hello Susan,
This is it, direct from an Outback chef. You'll have to cut down the size yourself.
Phaed
Outback Clam Chowder
Alonzo Callens - Outback Restaurant - Altoona
WTAJTV, 10 News, Keystone Kitchen
8 oz. chopped onions
8 oz. chopped carrots
1/2 oz. diced fresh parsley
4 oz. bacon, chopped
4 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cubed
5 lbs. canned clams, drained
1/2 tbsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tbsp. ground white pepper
1/2 tbsp. finely-ground black pepper
1/8 cup salt
36 oz. heavy whipping cream
1 gallon milk
1 tbsp. shrimp base
12 oz. butter
12 oz. flour
You will probably want to reduce the amount of each ingredient proportionately
for a smaller finished product.
Over a medium heat, cook down onions, carrots, parsley and bacon for about 20
minutes.
Meantime, steam potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until slightly tender.
Drain clams and reserve 1 quart clam juice. Set aside.
Add cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper and salt to the onion-veggie
mixture. Add heavy whipping cream, milk, reserved clam juice, and shrimp base
and allow to come to boil.
In a smaller pot, melt butter and slowly add in flour to form roux. Once veggie
mixture is boiling, add roux and thoroughly stir.
Turn off heat and add clams. Add potatoes. Serve.
