HORSESHOE
Every time we visit Springfield, Illinois we have to eat one of their famous horseshoes. The cheese sauce is a little different depending on where you stop to eat, seems everyone has their own way of making it. But we love them all. If you only use one slice of bread and one hamburger patty it is called a ponyshoe. This recipe can also be made with chicken tenders in place of the hamburger patties.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread french fries out on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, divide the ground beef into four equal parts and form into patties. Fry the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat until well done, about 4 minutes per side.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook while stirring constantly for 4 minutes to cook out the flavor of raw flour. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half so that no lumps form. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat and add the cheese; stir until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
- Place 2 slices of toasted bread onto 2 dinner plates and top each slice with a hamburger patty. Top each patty with cooked french fries. Pour the cheese sauce on top of everything and serve immediately.

WORLD FAMOUS HORSESHOE SANDWICH
"Horseshoes" are a Springfield, Illinois original, first created by the chef at the "The Red Coach" for his luncheon clientèle. The story goes that he had a lot of extra cheese sauce left over one day and decided to throw it over the "chopped steak" and gravy sandwiches the patrons were always ordering. He added some shoestring potatoes on top, and a sensation was born! This recipe is a update of the original (which called for a whole cup of flour!) and your family will positively beg for more. Don't skimp on the cheese sauce. If your appetite is smaller, cut this in half. Then you have what we call around here, a "pony shoe"!

Steps:
- Prepare fries per package directions. Place 2 slices bread side by side on plate. Top with ham slices or 2 hamburger patties. Cover with Sauce. Top with a mound of fries, drizzled with more Sauce. Sauce: Beat egg yolks and beer together. Melt butter and cheese over boiling water, stirring in one direction only with a wooden spoon. Add seasonings. Stirring constantly, add beer and egg mixture a little at a time. Keep mixture piping hot as you stir; but don't let it bubble. Constant stirring and the very best cheese will yield a smooth, uncurdled mixture. Fun Fact: The horseshoe sandwich was first made by Joe Schweska and Steve Tomko at the Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois, in 1928. Steve Tomko then took the recipe to Wayne's Red Coach Inn, where it was served until the restaurant closed in 2006. The recipe lives on at the Godfather's Pizza which opened in the spot of the old Red Coach. There you may still get an original Red Coach recipe horseshoe. Although widely debated by locals, the sandwich is said to have originally been served as a tribute to the many horsemen that frequented these hotels. The original horseshoe was served on a sizzling metal platter that represented the anvil; the shape of the ham serves as the shoe with the fries representing the nails. The horseshoe has been featured on Al Roker's Roker on the Road and Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network.
