Why I Love This Recipe
Years ago when I lived in Portland, Oregon there was a Bar & Grill that my ex boyfriend now good friend Nick worked at. It has a few years now, I do not know if the place still exists. The establishment was called Starkey's. It was a local gay restaurant and upscale bar. At the time the owner's Carl & Archie had a dish on the menu that I had always loved and would order it when I would go there. Over the years I have successfully recreated the dish at home and for catered events, but I added some tweaks to the original recipe that I believe add some extra depth in flavor and complexity to the dish.
