BRISKET MARINATE

One the stops along the Old Santa Fe Trail was Council Grove, Kansas. The Santa Fe Trail was established in 1921 as a trade route to Mexico. In 1857 the Hays House was build and it soon became the local place for meetings, church, court trials and, of course, meals. Some of the parsons include General Custer and Jesse James. When the Union Pafic Railroad reached Juction City, Kansas the use of the Santa Fe trail ended. The Hays House is still serving meals. This brisquit is an example of the food offered and is served with a baked potato and vegetables.
