Subject: S.S.Kresge steam burger
Looking for the steamburger recipe like used to get at our Kresge lunch counter
in the 1960's. ( NOT the chili version). Thanks much
Hi Gene,
Sorry, I can’t find even a mention of Kresge’s serving a “steamburger.” I searched
using “steamburger”, “steam burger,” and “steamed burger” and “steamed hamburger.”
No results with any of those, not even a nostalgic mention. I found a couple of scans
of Kresge’s menus, but neither had a “steamburger” listed, just a “hamburger”. Perhaps
Kresge’s just called them “hamburgers”, but steamed them rather than grilling or frying
them? I couldn’t find a recipe for Kresge’s hamburgers, either.
Kresge’s menu: Kresge's Menu
Perhaps you would have more success by posting your request on a Kresge’s memories message
board such as this one: Recipe Secrets
I’ll post this for reader input.

Subject: Tuna sandwich
The years of '75-'78 at Lincoln High in Lincoln Heights were most tasty for me because
of their tuna sandwiches. i haven't been able to replicate it. Would you help me to
recreate the Sammie from my days of my youth, please.
Thanks, joaquin
Hello Joaquin,
I searched for a tuna salad or tuna sandwich recipe from any Lincoln High School or
Lincoln Heights High School at all, and I had no success. Sorry.
I’ll post this for reader input.

Subject: Hough Bakery Crumb Cake
When I was younger, my parents and grandparents used to purchase what I believe was a
crumb cake at Hough Bakery. The one unique aspect of this crumb cake was that there
was a 1/4” to 1/2” layer of a creamy, buttery-flavored substance layered between the
cake itself and the crumb topping.
Any ideas as to what this unique layer is, and /or how to make it?

Hello Craig,
I had no success finding the actual Hough Bakery crumb cake recipe. There is a recipe here
that claims to taste just like it: Hough Crumb Cake
However, neither that recipe nor any other crumb cake recipe that I’ve seen has anything
in particular that goes between the top of the cake and the crumb topping. I don’t know
what that could be.
I’ll post this for reader input.

Hmmmm….wonder if it’s basically the same recipe, but due to some minor tweaking at
Hough Bakery, perhaps some of that 1lb of butter settled below the crumbs!
(some recipes call for 1lb of butter, some use less).
Might be. I thought about that, too, but I wasn’t sure, so didn’t mention it.
