“Keep them fed and they'll always come back.”

Having a meal with Don was an act of community. Whether he made his famous Goopy Chicken or a melange of some sort, the food was always good but the conversation was the main dish.

Goopy Chicken

  1. Dredge and flour chicken, we like thighs but use whatever you like.
  2. Fry chicken in 1/4" all sides to brown and create crispies in the oil.
  3. Use enough Cream of Mushroom soup (with only 1/2 can water for each can soup) to cover mostly.
  4. Simmer / boil down goop — add water a bit as needed. Boil down total 30–40 minutes.
  5. Goopy should get brown.
  6. For best results abuse the process a bit, over boil, knock the coating off chicken, etc.
  7. Add frozen peas during simmer for added elegance!

Everyone who sat at his table belongs here.
