Hi,
My name is Marie. When I lived in Auburn Washington (many moon's ago) there
was a chinese restaurant called "The New Moon".
They had a dish called, Almond Breaded Boneless Chicken, which was white
meat chicken, dredged in an almond coating and deep fried, they had a
special gravy that goes over the breaded chicken. I actually found the dish
at a restaurant in Seattle and I think it was called New Hong Kong????
Anyway, I hope you can find the recipe for me.
Mahalo,
Marie
Hello Marie,
The "Palace of China" in Seattle also has it on their menu.
The only recipe that I could find with the name "almond breaded chicken" or
"breaded almond chicken" is the one below.

Hello Cynthia,
Both of the recipes below claim to be school cafeteria peanut butter bars,
but the second one doesn't have chocolate. I guess the first one is what you
want.
Phaed
Peanut Butter Bars
Remember those flat peanut butter bars you used to get in your school
cafeteria lunches? Well, here they are!
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter (such as Jif or Skippy smooth or chunky, your
choice - do NOT use "natural peanut butter")
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
1. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
2. Cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar,
and vanilla in a large bowl.
3. Beat in egg.
4. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
5. (If you'd like, you can add 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the
mixture, but I know*my* school could never afford such luxuries as
chocolate!) Spread batter into a 13x9x2 inch pan.
6. Bake at 375F for 15 to 18 minutes.
7. (If you'd like to go the extra mile past what your school could probably
afford to make for your lunches, you can take 1 cup of milk chocolate chips
and put them on the surface of the peanut butter bars just after you've
removed them from the oven. The bar) Let the bars it cool in the pan on a
rack then cut into bars.
------------------------------
Peanut Butter Chewies
This recipe came from someone whose mother worked in a school cafeteria.
These are the peanut butter bars you may remember from your childhood.
3 cups sugar
1-cup brown sugar
1 T vanilla
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups Peanut butter
1/2-pound (2 sticks) butter, melted
3 cups flour
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
Mix sugars, vanilla, and melted butter. Add eggs and peanut butter. Mix
well. In separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add slowly to the peanut butter mixture (may be too thick for electric
mixer). Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan. (For thinner bars, may be made in
3 9-inch square pans) Bake at 350 until the batter rises (about 15-20
minutes). Pull the pan out of the oven so that batter falls, then return
to the oven until done ( approximately 30-35 minutes total). (Can easily
be reduced to 1/3 recipe.)

Hello Karen,
Sorry, no one seems to have the Gino's secret sauce recipe. Former employees say
the sauce came in premixed, so they never knew exactly what was in it, but it was
like a thicker version of thousand island dressing.
There's a Gino's website at:
Gino's Hamburgers
and a Gino's forum at:
Gino's Forum
Phaed
I found this recipe on a message board:
Gino's Special Sauce
Source: Gil Zentgraf to Gino's Hamburger's Bulletin Board
"It may not be the exact recipe, but it makes my mouth happy."
1 quart of Hellman's Mayonaise
1 cup of Heinz Ketchup
1 cup of Sweet Pickle Relish
1 Tablespoon of McCormicks Spanish Paprika
1 Teaspoon of Texas Pete Hot Sauce
Mix together and let set for 2 hours before using.
