When the Freedom Bird brought me back to Travis AFB after my year in
'Nam they took us to a mess hall where we were served enormous cooked-
to-order porterhouse steaks, baked potatoes, fresh vegs, tossed salad,
and a choice of desserts. All of very high quality. I seriously
doubt that Applebee's has anything as good as that was.

That's a good point Pete. And a reason why I have a jaundiced eye when
hearing about the corporate "veteran" benefit for a free appetizer,
entree, or desert.
The example of the German caring I shared? They provided all three
components for free. I drew the line when they started to add bottles of

Restaurants that specialize in roux based dishes buy flour already
browned (to various degrees) or make it up themselves by baking flour
in large roasting pans with occasional stirring... none make roux in
tiny individual batches as seen on foodtv. I posted an article about
this years ago... it was written by one of those Weeziana chefs whose

Thanks Jo.. My ignorance of things that happen for a good reason, is
just that.
Thanks for letting me know that there are some good businesses still left.

First time I've seen (note!) this brought up on rfc. I also learned
to brown roux by toasting flour in skillet, but later did cajun/creole
style rouxs by heating flour/fat together. Not sure diff in flavor.
I suspect the flour/fat combo approach would be more flavorful, flavor
being more seeped into the oil over longer period of time. What say

I was thinking as Dan was... the cornerstone places like Buffalo
restaurants may have caused the yuppie uprising for chicken wings in
general.
Thanks for clarifing my thoughts Dan :-)
But before the yuppies, the wings were cheap enough to make a ton of
them with little cost.
We will soon run out of good things to make that cost little to make.

You have impressed me to no end. 1998? Your mind is obviously a steel trap.
Please remind me to never anger you.

P.S. Thanks for the oven/roux trick. I would have never considered doing
that.
