See Delis Makes about 6 cups of sauce Barbecue Sauce for the Bacon Cheeseburger on Crack 2 jalapeño peppers 1 poblano pepper 2 apples, peeled and chopped 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons each ground white, red and black pepper 1 tablespoon paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup garlic 1 cup orange juice 1 cup hard apple cider (Hescheles likes 2 Towns, made in Corvallis) 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup molasses 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/8 cup Frank’s hot sauce 1 cup toasted, chopped pecans, optional (Hescheles omits the nuts from the sauce at the restaurant because of allergy concerns, but when he makes it at home, he includes them.) FROM CHOW “It takes a lot of time to make everything that goes into our food,” says Chow owner Mitchel Hescheles, “and people can taste it.” Hescheles attended culinary school out of high school and had a coffee house in Springfield years ago, before the renewal programs encouraged the growth that the city now enjoys. He admits that was a tough time to run a restaurant in Springfield, but even after that closed, his goal was to try again some day. Hescheles then joined the Army and was stationed at various spots around the states and in Korea for three years. His family was here, so after the Army he returned and opened Chow two years ago. He also owns Moe’s Tavern, located right next door. Chow offers burgers, sandwiches and salads, but with a twist, such as zucchini fries, ham cooked in Coca-Cola or candied nuts on a salad. Patrons can also enjoy portabella carbonara, ratatouille or garlic-seared salmon. Meats are sourced from Bright Oak Meats, located just blocks away. Lots of restaurants offer a burger, but Hescheles’ approach is a far cry from a piece of meat and a bun. While in culinary school, he was taught to combine flavors in unexpected ways, which he does, to great effect. For instance, his burger special, The Merry Prankster, boasts blueberry mayonnaise, a Cajun-seared patty, Swiss cheese, hot sauce, blue-cheese pesto, arugula and potato GOOD TIMES CAFÉ 420 W. 13th Ave. 653-9999.

Place the peppers, apples and seasonings through garlic in a food processor and process until finely ground. It may be useful or necessary to add the orange juice to the food processor and process with the liquid until no chunks remain. Place the seasoning paste and all other ingredients in a pot. Simmer on low heat until thickened. The sauce may look a little thin, but it will thicken upon standing. To prepare the burger, spread the bottom of a ciabatta roll with pimiento cheese. Sear the burger patty in some of the sauce. Top the patty with cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, bacon slices, more sauce and crushed potato chips. 2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 • 2009 • 2010 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013 • 2014 BEST HANGOVER BREAKFAST 11 STRAIGHT YEARS!
