Readers find Wickles Pickle Relish

Claudia Pollard is searching for Wickles Pickle Relish, a vital ingredient in Rachael Ray’s secret hamburger sauce, and her fellow Taste of the Town readers are on it.

Ronnie Ralston, Ann Brown, Bob and Sally Harnish and Marti Munns reported finding it at various local Wal-Mart stores, with Munns adding, “It is the best pickle relish available.” Ralston also reported finding it at Vons.

And in case you’re wondering about that special recipe, the only one I could find in which Ray specified Wickles Pickle Relish was not for a hamburger sauce but for her Big Smacker Daym Drops Burger. No, I don’t know what the name means; I only know that the recipe, which serves four, calls for 12 slices of meaty bacon in addition to 2¼ pounds of 80 percent ground beef, a cup of sour cream and enough additional ingredients that make it too long to print here; if you’re interested, go to www.rachaelray.com.

For Jeralyn Elsasser, who’s looking for chipped beef with gravy on toast, Don Conner faxed to say he loves the Stouffer’s chipped beef he gets at Smith’s, adding, “great for a single meal on two or three slices of toast.”

For readers who are looking for a good, old-fashioned turkey dinner (and not just at Thanksgiving), Stan Gershgol emailed to recommend the “fresh turkey, great stuffing; not over-salted and great sides” he had at the Tuscany, 255 E. Flamingo Road.

And from Taste of the Town regular Minnie Mistretta: “You must try the grilled-cheese sandwich served at Giada’s” at the Cromwell, 3595 Las Vegas Blvd. South. It’s available at lunch, she said.
