[Meriweather]

I just now read this recipe. What is a "hotel" pan?

Hotel Pan
These are rectangular stainless steel pans used to cook, store and
serve food, and are designed to fit in steam tables, racks and
chafers.

A full size pan is 12 X 20 inches, and there are also 1/2, 1/3, 1/6
and 1/9 sizes. The standard depth is 2 inches, with 4 inch and 6 inch
deep sizes. Another variation has perforated sides and bottoms for
steaming foods."
.
That recipe doesn't look like it makes too much (like some of them ), so I wouldn't use a very big one.

Yes, I thought that recipe would be about my size.

off topic, no food talk for me right now, my aunts lunch is killing me.

 

[Luv2Roam]

CHH. Hit and miss for us. Not as good as they use to be, from our experience. Sometimes terrible food and service, which keeps us away for a long time. Then we finally go in and it's "okay". (Better than Pecos Bill's. )

 

[Luv2Roam]

I was reading that recipe for Maui Scalloped Potato. It just looks like a run of the mill scalloped potato recipe to me. 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese? Why bother?

 

[Meriweather]

Well, bother if you like scalloped potatoes
They don't have them anymore anyway......noodles now.

Bananas Foster Cheesecake

Recipe By lanet Hollywood, Downtown Disney
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Crust
1 1/2 cups Nilla Vanilla Wafer Cookie crumbs
Butter for greasing baking pan
Flour for dusting baking pan
1/2 cup melted butter -- clarified
Batter
2 pounds cream cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
8 ounces granulated sugar
8 ounces sour cream
Fosters sauce
4 ounces butter
4 ounces brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ounces banana liqueur
1 lemon
1/2 an orange
Garnish
Mint springs
Powdered sugar

Combine ground vanilla wafers and clarified butter. When the mixture is the consistency of moist cornmeal, you've added just the right amount of butter. When squeezed it should hold together easily.
Rub inside of a springform pan with butter. Dust sides and bottom with flour, discarding any powder that does not stick. Using your hands, tamp down the butter-wafer mixture forming a short wall up the side. When the mixture is even and all holes are filled in, bake the crust at 300 F for just a few minutes to set the shell.
For the filling, beat cream cheese until smooth. With machine running, add granulated sugar, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. With the machine running, add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla paste or extract and sour cream. Pour batter into prepared, cooled pan and level off with a spatula. Bake at 300º F for 40 minutes.
For the sauce, in a small sauté pan, cook brown sugar and butter slowly until the mixture liquefies. Add lemon juice, banana liqueur, orange juice and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes and cool. In another sauté pan, sauté banana slices in sizzling butter. When browned on one side, douse the fruit with some of the Fosters sauce.
Cut cooled cheesecake into 8 portions. Top with Fosters sauce. Dust with powdered sugar and add a sprig of mint.

Now this one I really like, John did to for a while but then he had what he described as the worst burger ever and refuses to go back.

 

[Meriweather]

We've been a couple of times.....years ago. (the lines used to be out the door and all the way down the ramp).
The inside was fun to look around. DD liked that part.
The food.....just okay. No plans on going back.
The one in Seattle closed down years ago.
