February 25, 2010 - Frog Leg Inn Executive Chef Tad Cousino has joined up with Walden Media's Examiner.com to write on the organization's web site as Toledo French Food Examiner. "Having a history of specializing in French foods, I feel rather well-qualified to write in this area", said Chef Tad. "We're constantly developing classic and authentic-style dishes for the rustic French country setting of the Frog Leg Inn. From creating similar dishes for the home, and looking at the necessary French sauces that are handmade but are also of a consistently high quality, I'm looking forward to sharing a wealth of techniques, recipes, history and culture with my readers."
In 2010 the Frog Leg Inn in Erie, Michigan, will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of maintaining the name "Frog Leg Inn" as a number of various types of restaurant. The building was constructed in 1853 and is the oldest business in Erie. Over time the building has been a bawdy house, a speak-easy, a school, and a meat market, and was a regular stopping point for patrons such as the Licavoli gang. The Frog Leg Inn restaurant has received two five-star reviews in The Toledo Blade, as well as reviews in The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. His wife Catherine, a native of France, is also a valuable resource in French cuisine as a culinary graduate of Ecole Hotelliere D’Orchies.
