The Grapevine Restaurant

I am looking for a recipe from The Grapevine restaurant that was in College Station, Texas in the '80s.  
It is the recipe for their house dressing.  It was kind of similar to thousand island but much better.  
I would also like to find a recipe for their homemade sangria.

Thanks,
Liz

Hello Liz,

I found both of these recipes. See below.

I am looking for the original teriyaki chicken recipe. It had a thin 
sauce... Not the thick glaze that the New Piccadilly has
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Ashley.

Sorry, this one is not in my copy of the kitchen manual and is not on the web.

There actually is a Chicken Teriyaki in my Morrison's book.

Here it is

Chicken Teriyaki

Yield: 96 portions

Thaw 96 - 6oz boneless chicken breasts and flatten them out with your hands (Do not drop them frozen into marinade) 
Place breasts in roasting pan and cover with marinade. Let sit overnight and remove as needed. Place in a shallow 
pan with a little marinade and grill on flat grill or chargrill. Do not bake in oven. Garnish with slice of fresh 
pineapple or pineapple ring. Do not leave chicken in marinade more than 24 hours. Do not reuse marinade. Discard 
after each use. 

Marinade

1 gallon Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 gallon pineapple juice
1 lb. light brown sugar
12 oz Lea & Perrin (Do not substitute)
3 3/4 oz. ground ginger
1 oz. garlic powder.
Blend together until well mixed and sugar has dissolved. 

Enjoy!

Farmer's Daughter Cheesecake

Dear Uncle Phaedrus,

     I started working for a resturant named Famer's Daughter back in the late 70's as a waitress. 
This was in Evasville, IN. I loved the cheesecake they served. I asked many times while working 
there for the recipe and was told it was a secret. I'm hoping that maybe you or someone you know 
will have this. I really appreciate this. I hope you can find it. Thank you for your hard work!

Your friend,
Cheryl 

Hi Cheryl,

Sorry, I had no success with this. I found a few mentions of the restaurant, but no recipes and nothing about the cheesecake. I’ll post this for reader input.
