My quiches are totally pastry-less; I use thinly sliced sweet potatoes that bake until tender but crispy, adding a slightly sweet flavor, striking orange color, and whole host of nutrients.
Recipes
Conga Cooler
The Conga Cooler was one of the many potions created by head barman Pancho Morales at Tommy’s Place in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, in the early 1940s. Signs over the bar advertised drinks to “Hemingway types” and soldiers who were living in the moment.
Sazerac
The Sazerac Bar, with its long walnut counter, and the elegant Blue Room, continue to serve happy patrons this historical cocktail. Both the Roosevelt Hotel and the Sazerac cocktail have withstood the test of time.
Du Pont Hotel Cocktail
A toast to the end of the war and a sip of the Du Pont Hotel cocktail was a perfect way to welcome in a hopeful 1948. It’s delicious in 2018, too.
Eric Greenspan’s “Elvis” Grilled Cheese
It’s Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich—peanut butter, banana, and bacon—made into a gooey, melty, over-the-top grilled cheese.
Eric Greenspan’s Mole Melt
The sweet and spice of the mole in this grilled cheese sandwich plays off the richness of the chorizo and black beans, and the spicy marinated onions bring all of the flavors together.
