EVERYTHING OLD

IS NEW AGAIN By Steve Cook

id you know about the new Greek restaurant where the Crazy Greek used to be at 1903 Staples Mill Road? It’s The Greek Taverna. The folks that own this truly fantastic new restaurant were the original owners of The Crazy Greek from 1975 to 1997. Although Greg and Kitsa Panos leased the building and sold the Crazy Greek name to someone else, they maintained ownership of the property. When the lease was up recently, they decided to get back into the business, which they now run with daughter Toula and her husband, Gagik Suleymanian. I can tell you from first-hand experience, the food is fantastic. I’m a big pastichio fan when it’s done right, and they do it perfectly. In addition to some of the old-time favorites from the Crazy Greek of yesteryear, Kitsa tells me that they’re also doing some Greek dishes you probably won’t find anywhere else in town. The restaurant also offers combo dinners, which give you a chance to sample

a variety of Greek specialties. And the menu features lots of fresh seafood, prepared Greek style. Don’t even get me started on the desserts, most of which are homemade. I asked Kitsa why, after twenty years away from the business, she wanted back into the restaurant game. She says she that although she had forgotten how much work it is, she has always loved the business. Before she and her husband opened Crazy Greek some 42 years ago, she had helped her father when he ran the legendary Byram’s Restaurant in the late 60s and early 70s. Daughter Toula says her mother has always loved cooking. “When she would go on vacation, she would get a hotel room with a kitchen so she could cook.” I guess it’s in my blood,” Kitsa added.

1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup chopped almonds 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 6 medium-sized Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and very thinly sliced 1 tsp. cinnamon

GUTTER PROTECTION • GUTTERS

1 tbsp. bourbon

STORM TESTED. CUSTOMER APPROVED.

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease an 8x8 baking pan. To make the topping: Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and almonds in a large bowl until well-combined. Add in the pieces of butter and use your hands to squeeze and combine until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles wet sand. (Alternatively, you can cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or place all of the topping ingredients in a food processor and pulse until just blended. My favorite method is to use my hands, as I believe you get the best crumbly topping that way.) Once finished, place topping in the fridge and begin making the apple filling. To make the filling: Place butter and seeds from the vanilla bean in a medium saucepan, and turn heat on medium. After a couple of minutes the butter will begin to crackle and foam—make sure you whisk consistently during this process! Another minute or two, and you will notice the butter turning a slight brown (caramel) color on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to give off a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer the butter to a bowl to prevent it from burning. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. While the butter is cooling, place apples, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and bourbon in a large bowl and toss to combine. Add the brown butter to this apple mixture and toss again to combine. Take a heaping ½ cup of the topping mixture and toss with the apple mixture. Place the apple mixture in prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with topping. It may seem like a lot of topping, but the apples will cook down and the topping will provide an excellent crunchy exterior.
