Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant & Butik

Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant & Butik

Door County, Wisconsin’s most well-known restaurant, established in 1949. From June through October, look for the live goats on the roof, on top of an authentic Swedish log building. Inside, there’s a traditional Swedish atmosphere and Scandinavian food specialties, all served by waitresses in dirndls. After dining, visit Al Johnson’s Butik, featuring a beautiful selection of Scandinavian products. For hours and FAQ questions, visit www.aljohnsons.com

    I grew up in G.B. Moved away. I miss this restaurant as a treat. Glad they still have the goats on the roof.

    Dont use the caviar in tube on that. That is for eating like he told in the story. We use a differnt Caviar on a sandiwish with Egg sallad, or Smörgåskaka (Sandwishcake) or Skagenröra. (Dont know if it has an english name.) The Caviar is normaly Stenbitsrom (Fresh lump fish roe) or Löjrom (White fish roe). (The best is supposed to be from the city of Kalix in Sweden) 100 dollar and up for 1 lbs.

    I cook the egg in the same way. I think many does it like that over here in Sweden. I do the egg sallad almost exactly like you does. I have a hard time with capris so I use Chives instead. Another great episode with fun storys to listen to. Yes Dill is extremly important in Sweden. You should check out how much dill is used at our Crayfish partys.

    Brunsås/gräddsås. (brown sauce/Cream sauce) is the backbone of swedish husmanskost (Classic swedish food). Its as important as potatoes or lingonberry. I think its not that uncommon to use black pepper in Cream sauce.(I do atleast) But when it comes to white sauce/Béchamel sauce its white pepper. Thank you for a great episode.

    Flygande Jakob was invented by Ove Jacobsson, he was not a chef but he worked with air freight that why its flygande (flying) and Jakob is from his last name. I eat it often but I skip the banana. Other variants of this dish is "simmande" Jakob fish instead of chicken. Svävande Jakob a vegiterian version. then you have flying Lotta with chanterell sauce or flygande Kurre with Cassler. But the original was Flygande Jakob The three crowns on the chest is swedish small country weaponshield. Its almost the same as the Swedish police use. The police add some Gold around it.

    It's a cocktail made from combining grapefruit-soda/lemonade/pop and gin. Needs to be absolutely ice cold (best if you put it in the freezer before drinking. even after the fridge) and best served with the glass FULL of ice. In finland bars have 3 taps. one beer, one cider and one long drink. Finns usually call it "lonkero" which also happens to translate to "tentacle". Tastes like soda. Will get you effed up REAL quick if you don't know what you're doing 🤣

    So obvious to say Charlie is our Mr Holland’s Opus. To be true he exceeded Mr Holland. Our children he touched are better because he was their teacher. You are special Charlie and your years were well spent. Thank you from the parents and for sure the students. Happy times for you going forward. Tim and Nancy

    I love Midsummer's Music and have attended their concerts for at least a dozen years. The quality of the music is just exceptional and the venues are carefully chosen to advance and harmonize the experience. I wish them every success and I offer my thanks and deep appreciation to Allyson Fleck for stepping into founder Jim (and Jean) Berkenstock's shoes and carrying the torch of excellence forward so admirably.

    Interesting! I am thinking that adding bananas would be like adding plantains to savory dishes. And about the old man in the peanuts...when I was young my dad told me I could find Santa in a peanut. I loved splitting peanuts and finding Santa inside!
