Anthony Vidal, Hash House A Go Go corporate chef, is famous for flavorful food like his over-the-top mashed potato burger. His seasonal ideas are mighty tasty, too. Chef Anthony recently told us how his family adds a touch of sweetness to holiday celebrations. It’s a story that involves cranberries, brown sugar and a griddle … yum!
Chef Anthony recalls,
“We would make our favorite pancake batter and sprinkle in brown sugar and fresh cranberries. Or, we would make cranberry pumpkin waffles by folding pumpkin pie mix into the waffle mix, then sprinkling cranberries in before closing the lid on the waffle machine.”
I’d say the Vidal kitchen is the place to be during the holidays!
The chef was kind enough to share his recipes with us. Pancakes on Christmas morning?
A splendid idea!
