This recipe was inspired by Tony Packo Restaurant in Toledo, Ohio. I don’t have the exact recipe but this one is pretty darn close to the original.

Here are some of the photos from a recent trip to the restaurant. One of my favorite things about the restaurant is all the Tiffany Glass Lamps and memorabilia on the walls.
