Betty’s Trip to Boone Tavern for Lunch with Rick–NO RECIPE–

admin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:23:06 +0000

In this video, Betty and Rick have lunch at Boone Tavern Restaurant in Berea, Kentucky. Boone Tavern Restaurant is owned by Berea College, and many of the workers at the restaurant are students at the college. The college began in the 1800’s, accepting promising students, but charging no tuition or cost for room and board. To make up for this financial assistance, each student works up to ten hours per week at one of the 130 or so jobs at the college, some of which are at the restaurant. The restaurant itself was built in 1909, and has been in operation ever since, except for closing down for renovations a few times over the years. This restaurant is quite historic and has been visited by many famous people, from President Calvin Coolidge to the Dalai Lama, and many poets, like Robert Frost, and businessmen, like Henry Ford.
Rick and I have had meals at Boone Tavern many times over the years, since it is only about one-half hour’s drive from our home. We had an evening meal last fall that we featured in bettyskitchen. This time we decided to show what lunch is like at Boone Tavern. The menu is shorter and the items are lighter, in general. Spoonbread is served with all lunch and dinner meals, and Boone Tavern is quite famous for their spoonbread.
Rick and I began with hot spoonbread with butter. I then ordered a pimiento cheese-topped hamburger with loaded baked potato salad and iced tea, while Rick chose the fried catfish dinner, which came with French fries,coleslaw, hush puppies, tartar sauce, ketchup and a soft drink. For dessert, I ordered a Four-Fruit Cobbler, the fruits being blackberries, cherries, peaches, and strawberries. I had coffee with cream, but Rick decided to skip the dessert. I will be making one of the items for you in bettyskitchen soon.
After a pleasant, leisurely meal, we headed back to Richmond. We always enjoy spending time at Boone Tavern and hope that you enjoy this little field trip, too! If you are ever in Kentucky, Boone Tavern is a memorable place to visit! –Betty 

Betty’s Version of Boone Tavern Spoonbread Recipe

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:20:17 +0000

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make the spoonbread that Boone Tavern Restaurant (in Berea, KY) is famous for. The recipe comes from the cookbook Look No Further, written by Richard T. Hougen, manager of the Boone Tavern Restaurant from 1935 1975.

Ingredients:

3 cups milk
1 ¼ cups cornmeal
3 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Stir meal into rapidly boiling milk. Cook until very thick, stirring constantly. Remove from fire and allow to cool. The mixture will be cold and very stiff. Add well beaten eggs, salt, baking powder and melted butter. Beat with electric beater for 15 minutes. Pour into well greased casserole. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Serve from casserole by spoonfuls. This is the spoon bread for which Boone Tavern is so famous. Be sure to use white cornmeal for the true southern bread.

Betty’s Boone Tavern Pork Chops “Some Tricky Way” Recipe

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:33:09 +0000

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Boone Tavern favorite, Pork Chops, Some Tricky Way. This is the entrée that Rick ordered on our dinner out at Boone Tavern Restaurant on the previous evening. It is very easy to make and quite tasty!

Ingredients:

4 lean pork chops
½ cup tomato paste
½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
2 cups chicken stock
¾ cup mushrooms

1. Trim chops and brush over to coat with the tomato paste.
2.Mix the Parmesan cheese with the bread crumbs.
3.Pat the bread crumbs onto the chops.
4.Pan fry the chops in a skillet to brown on both sides. (I used ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in the skillet.)
5.Place the chops in a covered casserole and add a small amount of water to prevent them from sticking to the dish. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. (I did not add the water to the casserole; instead, I sprayed the dish with cooking oil spray. Also, I only baked the pork chops for 50 minutes.)
6.Serve with a sauce made by thickening 2 cups of chicken stock with 2 ½ tablespoons flour which has been smoothed to a paste with some of the cold stock. Cook for 5 minutes. Add ¾ cup of cut mushrooms to the finished sauce.
–Richard T. Hougen, from Look No Further.

Rick and I really enjoyed this different way to cook pork chops. It is served with Great Northern beans (or any dry bean), and mixed greens (or any greens), topped with mung bean sprouts (or alfalfa sprouts). A wonderful dinner!!!
