From: Cheryl Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 10:16 PMTo: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Marcos Pizza cheesy breadHi. I was wondering if you had a recipe for Marcos Pizza cheesy bread. I find most cheesy breads do not live up to their name. We have found Marcos to be the best we have ate. Thank you so muchCheryl

Panera Bread Cinnamon Scones

Restaurant is located in Fresno, CA. I have searched the Internet and none of the websites that come up actually have the recipe. Thanks for your help!Julie
Hi Julie,
Panera Bread does have cookbook called "The Panera Bread Cookbook: Breadmaking Essentials and Recipes from America's Favorite Bakery-Cafe". However, I found no indication that this recipe is in it. You can get the cookbook at Amazon. Usually it's easier to win the lottery than to find the "actual" recipe for something sold by a currently operating chain restaurant like Panera Bread. Panera Bread is a national chain with dozens of restaurants/bakeries around the country. A search for this recipe resulted in the usual story: The "actual" recipe is not out there. The best you can usually do is a copycat. Don't knock copycats until you've tried them. The cinnamon crunch scones appear to be so new that no one has created a copycat yet, but this appears to be a good copycat recipe for their cinnamon chip scones:

Woolworth's Fried Chicken
From: "Patricia" To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.comSubject: Woolworth's fried chicken recipeDate: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 11:48 AMI found your site as I was searching for a recipe for the Woolworth's Icebox cheesecake; I'm so glad you have a couple to try.My very first job was as a waitressin the Woolworth's luncheonette at Wonderland Mall in San Antonio, Texas (summer of 1977).I also loved their fried chicken and asked one of the cooks to show me how to make it. I don't have exactquantities, but do know the ingredients and have made my chicken this way ever since, and thought I would send it to you if you wanted to share it.Flour, heavily seasoned with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (our cook said the secret was lots of garlic powder!)>>Bowl of milk beaten with eggs (what I do at home is approximately 1 egg per cup of milk).>>Dip the chicken piece in the liquid and roll in the seasoned flour, and then dip again in the liquid, roll a second time in the flour mix.>>Deep fry until golden brown and delicious.This isn't 'official' just based on my memory (and made OFTEN in my house, lol) - I hope it helps!Patty Texas
State Fair Chicken on a Stick
-----Original Message----- From: deedeSent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 6:31 PMTo: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.comSubject: Looking for a recipeHey there, PhaedIt's been a while since I've written; I hope you are well.I was thinking about the Mississippi State Fair the other day, and remembered how my co-workers and I would go down to the fairgrounds to get 'fair food' for lunch. My daughter was still in elementary school then, and when I took her to the fair, she always wanted Penn's chicken on a sticka skewered treat of chicken, dill pickle chips and onions fried with a crispy coating.Do you know of any copycat recipes for Penn's chicken on a stick? I've seen some recipes online, but they don't resemble what we purchased at the fair. Penn's still has restaurants in the Jackson area, but we now live four hours away, and I'd love to surprise her with this some weekend.Do any of your Mississippi connections have such a recipe? Thanks so much!Your friend in Northeast Arkansas,deede
Hi Deede,
I had no success locating a recipe or copycat recipe for Penn's chicken on a stick. There are lots of raves about it and some photos of it on the web, but no recipes. It's no big deal to skewer pieces of chicken, dill pickle slices, and onions, batter them , and then deep fry the whole thing, but to make it taste just like Penn's, you'd have to have their batter recipe, which is, according to everything that I saw, a well-kept secret. Sorry.
I lived and worked in Jackson for five years in the 1970s, but I don't recall Penn's. I guess it was confined to Canton back then. I do remember going to the Fair, but I guess I didn't try the chicken on a stick.
There's an article about Mississippi State Fair food here that mentions them:
There's a chicken on a stick recipe on this site, but it has cauliflower and uses tempura batter:
I'll post this on the site in case a reader can help.
