Subject: lost pot roast recipe
Hello Uncle,
I am missing a recipe for pot roast. It was from Joan Lunden's former
Mother-in-Law, Joie Krauss. It was for pot roast, maybe beef brisket, with
beer, ginger snaps, chili sauce and vegetables. I don't remember if Joan
gave it over the air of GMA, or if I copied from a magazine or cookbook.
Please help me find this.
Thanks,
VO'K
Hello Veronica,
I cannot find a pot roast or a brisket recipe that mentions Joie Krauss, nor can I find a recipe for pot roast or brisket with beer,
ginger snaps, and chili sauce that mentions either Joan Lunden or Good Morning America. Joan Lunden has a website with recipes,
and on that site she gives her mother's pot roast recipe. See: Mom's Pot Roast
She does give a couple of recipes from Joie Krauss on her site, but they are chicken soup and potato pancakes, not pot roast or brisket.
See: Grandma Joie
and
Grandma Joie's Pancakes
There is a brisket recipe by "Grandma Joie" (No mention of Joan Lunden.) here:
However, it does not have the ginger snaps and beer. It does have the chili sauce.
Below is a pot roast recipe with chili sauce, beer, and ginger snaps.

When I was working in Biloxi, Mississippi in the 1970s, I often went to The White Pillars for the lunch buffet.
The restaurant has been closed for years, but the building is being remodeled and there are plans to reopen soon.

Subject: The Wine Cellar Cheese Spread
There used to be a restaurant called The Wine Cellar on 161
Dublin-Granville Rd in Columbus Ohio. They had fantastic cheese
spread for Ritz-style crackers on every table and sold it in their
store attached to the restaurant. I would love to get their recipe.
I'm sure it was simple but since I was a kid, I have no idea what
would have been in it.
Thanks,
Kathy
Hi Kathy,
Sorry, no luck. I found a few mentions of The Wine Cellar on 161, but no mentions at all of the cheese spread.
I'll post this on the site in case a reader can help.
