Treasury Casino Kitchen Restaurant
The Project
Located in the Brisbane CBD the Treasury Brisbane Hotel and Casino has ten restaurants and bars. They required a kitchen fire protection system that conformed to all current Australian standards for a new restaurant. The system needed to protect diners, staff and casino patrons from any potential cooking oil fires as annually the destruction caused from kitchen fires cost millions of dollars in lost revenue and repairs, risks the lives of staff and diners and cost tens of thousands of jobs.

The Solution
Delta Fire met with the Casino’s Fire Protection company and builder to review different options. As this was a new kitchen, Delta Fire worked closely with the Treasury Casino to review the exhaust hood and cooking appliances and to work out the best use of space.
The overall system included 24hr protection as well as automatic and manual actuation. It also needed to be very easy to operate by kitchen staff.
Outcome
Delta Fire provided an ANSUL kitchen fire suppression system. We created drawings for the builder and Fire Protection Company to determine where to mount the pull station, automan and cylinders. Delta Fire then supplied and installed the system.
We commenced work within five days from sign off and completed the project within a month with the help and assistance of the Casinos Fire Protection Company. The Treasury Casino was delighted with the results.

Mary and Vincent Price’s A Treasury of Great Recipes is a collection of “famous specialties of the world’s foremost restaurants adapted for the American kitchen.” Published in 1965 by Bernard Geis Associates, the cookbook is a collection of menus and recipes from France, Italy, Holland, Scandinavia, England, Spain, Mexico, The United States of America, and the Price household. The collection of recipes is from all sorts of places – bistros, cafes, hotels, and the great restaurants that Mary and Vincent Price had the pleasure of visiting during their travels. The cookbook itself is a work of art with its padded faux-leather binding, large pages – measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, vintage 1960’s pen and ink etchings by Fritz Kredel, and full-page color photographs. This cookbook is such a classic a 50th-anniversary edition was published in 2015. The Price’s purpose in writing the cookbook was to share their favorite dishes from all over the world.
For most of the restaurants featured, the Prices give a brief history, including a description of the interior and the meal they enjoyed on their visit. For some of the restaurants, especially those in the United States, only a brief paragraph about the restaurant is included with one or two favorite recipes. Many of the restaurant entries include a beautiful full-page color image of the restaurant interior, a picture of a featured dish, or a copy of the menu. The Prices give a brief description of each recipe. The authors also tell us why they choose the recipe for the cookbook and how they prepare the dish, along with possible variations and how the Prices serve the dish in their own home while entertaining.

Friday Chicken
'This chicken recipe got its name because it was always made on Friday - cooking and baking day - and then was eaten cold over the weekend. The seasoned stuffing is placed between the skin and the mean instead of in the cavity, giving you a well-flavored bird, a crisp skin, and moist, tender meat. Though we continue to call it Friday Chicken, we usually prefer to use capon, especially if we want enough to last the weekend. Incidentally, this is one of the best things we take for lunch or dinner in our mobile home.'
Ingredients
Capon
Bread
Parsley
Eggs
Salt, pepper
Thyme or sage
Onion
Butter
Method
1. Loosen the skin of: a ready to cook 7-pound capon by inserting the hand over the breast meat and down around the thighs, carefully tearing any connecting tissue.
2. Cut crusts from 5 slices white bread. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup water and let soak for 3 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture and mix the bread with: 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley, 4 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme or crumbled sage leaves, and 1 small onion, grated.
3. Preheat oven to moderately hot (375-degrees).
4. Stuff the dressing between the skin and meat of the capon, over the breast, forcing it into the leg pockets. Place capon, breast up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Spread with 1/2 cup soft butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast in the moderately hot oven for 45 minutes, basting frequently. Reduce oven temperature to 350-degrees and cook for 1 hour longer, basing every 20 minutes. Turn capon over on its breast and cook for 15 minutes longer to brown the back. Server hot or at room temperature.
