Subject: York Steak House Recipe
Hi:
This web site is AMAZING!!!!!!
There was a chain restaurant back in the 1970’s and 1980’s that was called the
York Steak House. It might have just been a North East thing.
I’m not sure, it was before my time.
At any rate, I have heard stories of their “Legendary” honey glazed chicken.
I have searched high & low for the recipe with no luck. From folks who remember
it, they insist it must have had either brown sugar or molasses.
If you have any info, it would be most appreciated!
Thank you!
Sheila
Hi Sheila,
I had no success locating a recipe. York's was similar to Bonanza and Ponderosa.
There may be one York’s Steakhouse still in operation in Columbus, Ohio near the Westland Mall.
There are lots of message posts about York’s on these sites:
Roadfood
Zap to Reading - with photos
I found one message board post that said this:
I also cook a whole chicken and add the honey and five spice powder toward the end. If any one remembers York Steak House's honey glazed chicken, this is it!
It might be worth a try. There is also a honey roasted chicken recipe below, although I have no idea if it is similar to York’s.

Honey-Roasted Chicken With Lemon And Tarragon
Gourmet, September 2003
2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3 1/2-lb) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 head garlic, left unpeeled and halved horizontally
1/4 cup mild honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
Special equipment: kitchen string; an instant-read thermometer
Preparation:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 425°F.
Finely grate enough zest from 1 lemon to measure 1 tablespoon,
then squeeze enough juice from same lemon to measure 2 tablespoons.
Stir together butter, tarragon, zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Put chicken, breast side up, in a small roasting pan. Starting from neck cavity,
work your fingers gently between skin and flesh of breast to loosen skin all
the way to thighs without tearing.
Put one fourth of tarragon butter under skin of each breast, then rub skin from
outside to spread evenly.
Starting from large cavity, loosen skin on both sides of cavity with a paring knife
(to provide access to thighs), then work your fingers gently between skin and
flesh of thighs and drumsticks.
Divide remaining tarragon butter among thighs and drumsticks, rubbing skin
from outside to spread evenly. Season cavity and skin with salt and pepper,
then halve remaining lemon and put inside cavity along with garlic.
Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
Whisk together honey, lemon juice, oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Roast chicken 30 minutes, then brush pan juices and half of honey mixture
over chicken and roast 10 minutes more.
Brush chicken again with pan juices and remaining honey mixture and continue
to roast until thermometer inserted in fleshy part of a thigh (do not touch bone)
registers 170°F, about 20 minutes more.

I worked at York steakhouse in the Jefferson mall in Louisville Kentucky I
prepared the chickens and they put the spice on first roasted then brushed
on a molasses based sauce twice
Hello Dean,
Thanks for writing. Do you know the recipe for the spice mixture? The
recipe for the molasses based sauce? Do you know the recipe for the
marinated mushrooms including the ingredients of the marinade?

No I don't they were premixed. me and a buddy was talking about that roast
chicken this week we both used to work there there's still one open maybe
you can get the recipe from them
"Premixed." There's the rub. The spices and sauces and marinades were made at
a central commissary or by an outside vendor, and shipped to the local steakhouses,
not made at the local steakhouses. The employees of the local steakhouses would not
know the recipe or even the ingredients.

Shredded cole slaw, mayo with white vinegar, salt pepper, tomato... And the
burgers were from janowskis in Rockville centre
Hello Jeff,
Sorry, no luck with Janowski's Texas Ranger Burger. Janowski's has a website here:
Janowski's
They don't mention the Texas Ranger Burger on their website or on their flyer here:
Janowski's Flyer
I found no mention at all of a "Texas Ranger Burger" connected with
Janowski's. I found them only connected with Texas Ranger Restaurants
(closed) and Max & Erma's Restaurant.

Subject: libby's baked beans
Dear Uncle Phaedrus:
I see that Libby's baked beans are made and sold overseas, but not
here. The photo of a can reveals even the spices! But do you have a
recipe for their beans, which were in a sweet tomato sauce, unlike
most brands?
A favorite taste of my childhood.
Butter brickle ice cream, my favorite, was on the front page. Are you
getting a lot of requests for that? I remember searching before and
someone had sent in a recipe for making the candy.
Bridgeman's, in Minneapolis, I am pleased to say, still manufactures
it and it is delicious. But they only have one or two stores left.
Alden's makes an organic one that is good. I have seen no others.
Lund's grocery stores in Minneapolis used to sell it, but it was
probably made for them by Bridgeman's, and I think they might have
switched to Kemp's, who never made it.

Hello Saul,
Baked beans in tomato sauce don't seem to be as popular anymore in the US.
I guess we prefer "pork and beans" or beans spiffed up with bacon, molasses,
brown sugar, etc.
Heinz, as well as Libby's, sells baked beans in tomato sauce overseas. This
kind of beans is particularly popular in the UK and former British Empire
countries, where they are eaten for breakfast, often on toast.
I found nothing but a couple of message board posts from people who ate
Libby's baked beans in tomato sauce as children and who were, like you,
trying to find either a place to buy the beans or a recipe to make them at
home. No one appears to have had any success. There are a few recipes on the
Internet for "baked beans in tomato sauce", but none mention being similar
to Libby's, and I hesitate to recommend any of them since I am not familiar
with the Libby's product. You can find them via Google by searching for
"baked beans in tomato sauce" + recipes.
I found indications that both the Libby's and the Heinz product are sold in
Canada, so if you are able to make a trip across the border, you might find
them in a Canadian grocery. I have seen Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce
for sale in our local grocery stores here in Maine - not with the regular
beans, but in the imported foods section, where most of our supermarkets have
a small selection of British foodstuffs.
Thanks for the info about butter brickle. I have not had a request for the
ice cream in years. Your comment makes me think that you were looking at the
2002 archives page. The current front page is here: Hungrybrowser

This recipe was published in chocolatier at least 15 years ago. The icing
also had tomato sauce in it. Thanks
Hello Jet,
Sorry, no success with this. There's one here with tomato sauce in the cake,
but not in the icing:
Chocolate Cake with Tomato Sauce
There is no database on the Internet of recipes that have appeared in chocolatier magazine.

Hello Phaed,
Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you. As you can see, I needed a little time
on my hands to type out the recipe - lol.
I no longer have the issue this was published in, but I did tear out the recipe.
It was indeed from Chocolatier Magazine under "An Insider's View".
It looks like it was published in 1984. I hope Jet enjoys it!
Best,

1/2 cup milk
1 C. well packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs, separated plus 1 egg yolk
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 tsp. baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unseasoned tomato sauce

1 tsp vanilla
Tomato fudge icing:
3 oz. unsweeted chocolate
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tbsps tomato sauce
8 tbsps butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla
MAKE THE CAKE:
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Butter and flour 2 9" round pans.
2. In a double boiler, over hot, not simmering water, combine the chocolate,
milk, brown sugar and the egg yolk. Stir occasionally, until the mixture is
smooth and slightly thickened and the chocolate is melted. Remove from
heat and allow the chocolate miture to cool to room temperature.
3. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
4. In the large mixing bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add the
granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light in color.
One at a time, add 2 egg yolks, mixing well after each addition.
5. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce with the cream and vanilla.
6. With the mixer running (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients),
one third at a time, alternately add the dry ingredients and the tomato
mixture to the butter mixture. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
7. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold them
into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30
mins until the cake pulls away from the side of the pan. Let the layers cool
in the pans for a few mintes before turning them onto a wire rack to cool
completely. Frost the cake layers when they are cool.
Make the icing:
8. In a double boiler over hot, not simmering water,, melt the the chocolate.
Stir in the condensed milk and tomato sauce and beat until smooth.
9. One piece at a time, add the butter, beating after each addition until each
piece is completely incorporated.
10. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until the mixture is thick. If the
icing becomes too thick, thin it with a little hot water. Spread the icing
between the layers and over top and sides of the cake.
Serve at room temperature.
