Pre-Made Appetizers » Beer Batter Up
Executive Chef Dennis Natoli of the Holiday Inn in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, calls himself an
"absolute stickler" for making food in-house and will only use prepared appetizer vendors when
he feels confident that quality won't be compromised.
"I can't do it any better," is the highest compliment Natoli says he gives his prepared
appetizer suppliers.
"I look for labor savings equal to what I do," Natoli explains. "Brew City is a good
commercial product."
He uses Brew City appetizers for parties, but it's their french fries that are
among his biggest buys.
"We do a huge breakfast business at this hotel so this saves a lot of time," Natoli says. "We also
prepare a lot of sandwiches."
Brew City was used at the hotel prior to Natoli's arrival about a year ago. And because
he is a self-proclaimed freshness fanatic, the fact that he continues to use it is
another endorsement.
Made with 100 percent real beer, Brew City makes hotel battered bar appetizers, including
monterey jack, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese sticks; onion rings, including the Pub,
thin-cut and thick-cut onion rings; and french fries, including the Bottle Neck, wide-mouth
and thin-cut french fries.--SBH
