I've been making this since I came across it in People magazine over 20 years ago. I tore out the page and it's been in my personal recipe book for years. Along with his Chicken Pot Pie, which is the best I ever had. I was delighted to see this post while looking on Yummly to see if there were more recipes from him. I guess I should look up Mulholland Drive Cafe.

I used to work at Mulholland Drive Cafe in Miami where Patrick Swayze was a part owner. This dish was on the menu and I think I ate it every single time I worked! It is my absolute favorite EVER - I guess it's really no surprise I gained weight, huh? That was 20 years ago, and everyone I've ever made it for since loves it too - you've got to try it.....
