Hello - recently I visited Salt Lake City from Vancouver, BC to go to the Eagles concert. Before the concert we had a wonderful dinner at Flemings. I always enjoy the challenge of trying to dupliicate a recipe for something I have tried in a restaurant. I fell in love with your famous Fleming Potatoes. I wasn't sure if the little bit of zip was green chili's or jalapenos. I tried with green chile's (before thinking of checking the website) and now know it is Jalapenos. I would really appreciate it if you could please share the cheeses that are in your recipe. Any other secrets would also be a bonus !! Thank you so much and if I ever see another Flemings in my travels, I will definately be taste testing again. Ginnie |
