Help! After having dined there for over 25 years, my favorite Hungry Hunter in Pleasanton was closed a couple of years ago. Although this is a chain, of all the Hungry Hunters that I've visited, Pleasanton was by far THE BEST!!! I'm looking for the recipe to their rub for the yummylicious prime rib. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Santa Maria Seasoning

ISO: Hungry Hunter's brown bread!!

Tammy from Ventura, Ca.

I miss the Hungry Hunter restaurant we had two close by. One in Ventura and the other in Thousand Oaks. They both closed after being here for years. Does anyone have a recipe for the brown bread they served? The bread was incredible, it had dried oats sprinkled on the outside of the bread. The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Because of the rich deep brown color I think it was made with molasses. The taste was out of this world. I've looked on the internet and can't find it anywhere, I hope someone has it out there!

Recipe: Hungry Hunter's Brown Bread (Squaw Bread)

I worked at the Stag and Hound and Hungry Hunter in AZ as well as the Boat House in San Diego. The dark bread was called Squaw Bread. It was brought in by local bakeries. It was molasses based and awesome. There are some recipes on the web you might try. I haven't seen it in stores.
