5.0 out of 5 stars Harry & Peyton Rule, August 31, 2006

By	Jeanine Pascarella "loves Harry's Roadhouse" (Catskill Mountains, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought that this is supposed to be a forum for book reviews, not personal attacks! Suzy Q doesn't know what the heck she is talking about. I lived in Santa Fe and worked for Harry and Peyton for over a year and know that they treat all of their staff, hispanic and white, like family. And the reason that I even found this cookbook was because I miss their food so much, that I have periodically done searches to see if they have a website yet to email Peyton and ask for recipes. If the book is beautiful it is because they do things well and have good friends who do things well. I anticipate it to be a reflection of the warm and quirky, yummy eating experience that Harry's is and I can't wait to recieve my copy in the mail. Suzy Q wouldn't know something special if it hit her in the head.

Arizona guy, you have to be kidding! The recipes in here look awesome (and I've been collecting recs on internet for 10 years, have over 1000 real cookbooks and STILL paid full bore for this book ($24.95 her in town)...because I could NOT walk away from these recipes!!) People, open a copy and see for yourselves. Drool, is all I can say. x southern calif girl leaving now

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, July 22, 2007

I am a real foodie-- owned, managed restaurants and have about 400 cookbooks-- including this.

Harry's is a delight-- and if you go there and befriend a staff member-- they'll only have good things to say. Some stories go way beyond the employer/employee relationship-- another reviewer called it "family". Susie's personal slam is something she "heard"- and shows her ignorance of restaurant reality.

Harry's isn't just about food. Its the overall experience. Its a roadhouse, with food unlike any road house I imagined. A jam packed Santa Fe gourmet experience. See you at the bar!
