Statler Sauce???

We were at a finer dining restaurant the other night and I ordered the only chicken dish on the menu (of course) and it was awesome! I order this dish every time we're there because it's so great!! The chicken was grilled a la Mattone (with a brick pressing on it) and cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicate, delicious and ladened with wild mushrooms. Just awesome!! I asked for extra sauce and asked the waiter what the sauce was and he said it was 'Statler sauce'. I thought I'd heard of all kinds of sauces but never 'statler sauce'. I asked what the ingredients were and he said he'd ask the chef. They got slammed and he got real busy so I guess he forgot to ask because I never got the recipe. Dang! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
Has anyone heard of this sauce?

I believe that Statler Chicken refers to the the boned half chicken cooked with a brick... not a particular sauce...
I could be wrong about this, but that's what I found doing GOOGLE search...
I did find a lot of references to Statler Chicken Marsalla... which would account for the mushrooms...

Statler Chicken is a chicken breast with the wing bone left in. The sauce is a mystery to me.

a link from one of my formerly favorite forums. i just learned something new today. thanks.

Thanks, guys, this had 2 wings attached and the rest was boneless. But, the waiter was specific about saying that the sauce was 'Statler sauce'. I'll email the chef and find out. But, thanks for all the responses!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

I have a feeling that is a sauce particular to that restaurant... possibly some signature sauce of the chef?

Yup, you're probably right. Thanks. I'll check it out!

Do you remember Ma Glockners in Bellingham, MA. This is how they cooked all their chickens and BTW, Statler Breast is a term from the 60's and 70's from the Statler Hotel in Boston (now the Park Plaza). It was/is a double sided chicken breast with the bone-in and ribs cut away. Statler sauce...I have not the slightest idea

No, I don't remember that restaurant. But, I do know about the Statler chicken but the sauce is another mystery. I will call the restaurant for the sauce and post the recipe.
