The Inn Crowd, hosted by producer Craig Case and Chef Michael Hutchings, are delighted to present an episode with our respective mothers in honor of Mother's Day. We are delighted to cook for my mom, Audrey Hutchings and Craig's Mom, Ira Case. I decided to prepare my version of dishes that we grew up enjoying (except the oysters).
We started with my version of oyster stew as prepared at the Grand Central Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, New York. The Sweet and Sour beef was my mom's mom's recipe, although she used a less expensive cut of beef (it was during the Great Depression after all). Finally, we cooked my mother's cheese cake. As was the tradition as kids, we had a whole cheese cake to ourselves!
Many thanks to our moms, who prepared countless meals for us as kids and the million unsung acts to get us to adulthood. Cheers!
