THE BATTALION Page 3 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1974 OGY 6L/TC By JAMES RAWSON "IENCE YS^u ence I This week Gusto is branching out Bto a new feature: recipes. From ■me to time Gusto will have a re- Hpe at the end of the column either om our resident cook’s files or om a popular restaurant. 'E Texas Avenue holds a good vari- ty of places to eat, and we looked at few of them last time. Absent from lat column were the two hotel re- taurants that are close to the cam- us. Closer and perhaps better estab- shed is the “Ramada Inn.” The ling to bear in mind about most otel dining rooms is that they are xpensive. The menu at the Ramada high but not ridiculously so. The food here is very good for the nost part, particularly the ham- mrger plates, hamburger steaks, hicken-fried steaks and Italian dis- les. The service is good and the ttmosphere quiet. The Ramada cat- >rs mainly to their guests, jusinessmen and visitors, but stu- lents are welcome. You can get a :asual lunch or a very nice dinner or a reasonable price. Topping KEY At the new Holiday Inn restaur ant, the food is more expensive. Al though it is good, I would not re commend it to students because of the price and the more formal at mosphere. The Holiday makes a nice place to entertain, but not to ret a convenient and cheap meal. The atmosphere and service are loth what you expect from a Holi day Inn—nice and refined. Just offTexas by the Holiday Inn is Dominik Drive where you can ind some of the best hamburgers and fried chicken in town. Hamburgers are the feature at Whataburger. The Whataburger, as advertised, has a quarter pound of good beef with all the trimmings, made to your order. Being able to specify how you want your burger is aservice that is rapidly disappearing but can still be found here. Crisp, not soggy or tasteless, french fries are available as are apple fried pies. The whole menu is inexpensive, making Whataburger a popular stu dent spot. Their dining room, how ever, is usually dirty. Another Whataburger is located in Bryan on Texas Avenue, just past the bend in that street. Across the street is the recently- opened “Kentucky Fried Chicken” for College Station. Colonel San ders’ recipe still brings people in, and for good reason. This is some of the best fried chicken around, and it has a reasonable price. The franch ise offers only takeout service, but you can eat it there in the dining room. Service is friendly and effi cient. It makes a great place to get a Sunday evening meal to take back to the room. Now, as promised. Gusto’s recipe of the week: Beef In Mushroom And Beer Sauce (from the Gusto file) I pound thin beef (round or breakfast steak) 1 teaspoon butter or mar garine 1 can (10% oz.) mushroom soup Vh cup mushroom pieces or slices (canned) Vi cup chopped onion (large chunks) % cup or half can of beer 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Vs teaspoon paprika Vi teaspoon celery salt (op tional) Salt and pepper to taste 6-8 oz. dry thin noodles Freeze the beef to make it easier to cut. Cut into thin strips, allow to thaw and brown it in butter in a large skillet. When almost brown, add to it the onion and mushroom pieces and stir until the beef is browned. Add the mushroom soup from the can and the beer. Keep stirring until the soup and beer mix. Add the seasoniqgs, stir and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Cook the noodles according to directions and spoon the beef and sauce over them. Serves three to four. Goes well with green salad, hot bread and a rose wine. Until next time Gusto wishes you good appetite. New Community Advisory Council will assist KAMU A Community Advisory Council has been established to assist KAMU-TV.
