We’ve been missing one of our favorite restaurants, Zlfred’s, so we’ve been working to recreate their most popular dish, the beef kebob sandwich. That was pretty much the only thing people ordered there.
First, the name. The story goes that when the restaurant first opened, they couldn’t afford to buy a sign. The previous business was called Alfred’s, so they just had the letter “A” replaced with a “Z” to save money, and Zlfred’s was born. The place was pretty much a dive, but every so often we’d go in for our beef kebob sandwich fix.
I tried many times to duplicate the taste and failed, but our son Jace has nailed it. I’ve found a good recipe to make the pita rolls. So I’ll post both the beef kebob and pita bread recipes, add some pilaf, and Zlfred’s lives on!
