    Gordon Biersch Garlic Fries

    Don Gordon and Dean Biersch's vision of a fun place for delicious food and great beer became a reality in Palo Alto, California in 1988. Now there are more than 40 Gordon Biersch locations in 17 states serving custom-brewed beer, and an extensive menu of entrées and appetizers including these easy-to-clone, flavorful French fries. No need to make these garlic fries from scratch. Use my Gordon Biersch Garlic Fries recipe below and grab a bag of frozen French fries at your local supermarket, and bake or fry a pound of them following the directions on the bag. When the fries are done, toss them with the secret garlic mixture and serve.

    Gordon Biersch Warm Apple Bread Pudding

    Menu Description: "With vanilla ice cream and sticky bun caramel sauce."

    I've been searching for the restaurant chain with the best bread pudding recipe, and I think I've found it here at Gordon Biersch. This small, yet growing, microbrewery chain serves great beer, awesome pizza, and a bread pudding that is downright amazing. It could be described as what would materialize out the other side if Jeff Goldblum threw an apple pie, some bread pudding and a cinnamon roll into his teleportation machine from "The Fly," and everything came out the other side combined into a single awesome dessert. The sautéed apples laid into the middle of the bread pudding make other bread puddings I eat now seem like they're missing something. And the homemade caramel sauce, with just a little brown sugar thrown into our clone version, adds a sticky bun flavor you'll have dreams about. No matter how big your dinner feast was, everyone will still somehow find room for this. 

    The original at the restaurant is baked in a deep pan, and the pudding is sliced and served on its side, so for my Gordon Biersch Warm Apple Bread Pudding copycat recipe, you'll want to use the biggest loaf pan you can find. I used a 3-inch deep 10x5-inch loaf pan, and it was full. If your pan is smaller, you may have to leave a bit out. The pudding will swell up out of the pan as it cooks, but it will shrink back down as it cools. Fun to watch. You may want to make this the day before so that the bread pudding can set up in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, nuke a serving for 1 minute until warm, then add the sauce and ice cream and a handful of pecans. It appears the restaurant chain uses egg bread in the pudding, but Texas Toast thick-sliced white bread may be easier to find, and it works just as well.

    Gordon Biersch Specialty Cocktails

    These two tasty cocktails make good use of berry-flavored vodkas from Stolichnaya: Stoli Razberi and Stoli Blueberi. The Raspberry Iced tea is a creative riff on a Long Island Ice Tea, although not as strong. I think you'll find it's a more enjoyable, tastier drink than the Long Island original. The Cran Blueberri Lemonade is a simple cocktail with strong berry flavors. Three fresh blueberries dropped into the glass may remind you of the three coffee beans traditionally served in a snifter of sambuca as a toast to health, wealth and happiness. I'll drink to that.
