  Do you have the recipe for the blueberry muffins?! It’s a shame that Luther’s got bought out and even more of a shame that we’ll never have those muffins again…

This isn’t even close. I was a GM at both Denver locations in the mid-80′s. and people will be shocked at what the recipe is. Basically you chop onions and boil the heck out of them, let the water boil down, this is like concentrated onion water, then you add Open Pit, Yes-Open Pit original bbq sauce to that with brown sugar and Coke Syrup, as in the Coke Syrup restaurants get that they use in their drink systems. If you can’t find Coke Syrup you can add a couple cans of Coke to the water you boil the onions in, the trick is to reduce this to a semi-concentrate. You boil that down and you will be surprized. If after adding everything else the sauce is too thick you just add water and reduce it to where you want the thickness to be. that’s it folks, I’ve been using the recipe for years and winning rib contests all along.

I miss Luther’s so much! I don’t like Papa’s BBQ sauce Luther’s was so much better! I also miss their onion rings. Do you have the recipe for their onion rings? I would so love to be able to make them at home!

  So one time I went into Luther’s and someone ordered that onion ring loaf, and went over to the baked potato bar, and scooped up a bunch of butter on it, and ate it. My arteries hardened for that person.
