Sue's Diner: House Salad

This is my favorite side salad in the entire world, as served in the fictional Sue's Diner in the fictional Munsonville, Michigan of the BryonySeries world.

Timothy actually created it when he was a student at Joliet Junior College's culinary arts program.

This house salad delicious any time of the year, but especially this time of the year when temperatures are warmer and salads are even more welcomed.

Try the recipe on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website.

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone next week. A new recipe will take it's place. 

This house salad recipe also appears in the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

If you have any troubleshooting questions or comments, email us at bryonyseries@gmail.com. 

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

This is my favorite side salad in the entire world, as served in the fictional Sue's Diner in the fictional Munsonville, Michigan of the BryonySeries world, and as developed by my chef son Timothy Baran.

House Salad by Timothy Baran

When Melissa and her family arrived in Munsonville, they stopped for lunch at Sue’s Diner on Main Street, a dingy, squat-looking gray building with surprisingly good food.

They ordered shepherd’s pie, the diner’s special salad, and freshly baked garlic bread. Then her mother saw Joe Roberts, the project manager for Simons Mansion, talking with someone at another table. ("Bryony," Chapter 10: When Good Dreams Go Bad)
