MORNING GLORY CAFÉ See Vegetarian TOBACCO ONIONS FROM DAVIS' RESTAURANT AND BAR Tobacco onions are both a topper for the Davis’ house-ground burgers and a popular side dish on their own. This amount of seasoning mixture can accommodate a dozen or so onions; for less onions, use less sea- soning mix. The unusual name refers to the onions’ finished color and not to the inclusion of tobacco in any form in the recipe. The Davis’ chef and kitchen manager Cory Brader says, “This highly addictive item has raised more eyebrows and sparked more conversations than almost any- thing else on the menu.” Approximately a dozen sweet yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandoline or rotary slicer 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup smoked paprika 1/4 cup dark chili powder 1/4 cup light chili powder 2 tbsp. cayenne 2 tbsp. garlic salt Combine dry ingredients in bowl. Lightly dredge onion rings in flour mixture. Shake excess flour from onions and fry in 335-degree oil for approximately 30 seconds until colored and fragrant.
