My first introduction to squid steaks was about 30 years ago at The New Hellas Cafe in Detroit's Greektown. The owner and my Dad grew up together and during our frequent trips, Gus would "surprise" us with something he was cooking in the kitchen. This particular night he came out with a breaded squid steak served with a little tomato and onion relish...it was so good that I had to make it myself. I tinkered a bit ( since I wasn't given the recipe) and came up with this. Gus closed his restaurant in 2008 after 107 years of his family's ownership...oh how I miss it!
