Q: Kurt's does an appetizer call Crab Meat Grenoblis -- one of the tastiest appetizers I have ever had. I know the dish has crab meat, capers, I am guessing olive oil, and some other spices. I would love to know their recipe.

A: Owner/chef Kurt Eisele was glad to share this classic recipe with a devoted fan. Through the years he took the popular crab meat appetizer off the menu "just for a change, " he said. That didn't last long, however, when it was apparent that customers wanted it to remain. And there it has stayed now for more than 15 years. Grenoblis is a classic culinary term that means something made with capers, lemon and butter.
