STUDENT CENTER

Chris Allen first became interested in Kenosha
history in 2009, while a student at Carthage College,
when he received a two-year internship at the
Museum. Chris used the museum’s archives to
research Kenosha’s “lost industries” starting with the
Simmons Company. After graduation, Chris worked for
a few years in the mortgage industry. He rejoined the
History Center in 2014 as Marketing and Events
coordinator. He became its Executive Director on Jan.
1, 2017. Chris will chronicle Kenosha’s variegated
industrial progress, which has included its rather
amazing recovery from the “one horse” American
Motors days.

Suggested parking is at Tallent Hall (east side of
Wood Road) and using shuttle service transport to the
front of the Student Center. A $6 parking pass (all
parking lots) is required and available at Tallent Hall

• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Drizzle 4 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large
saute pan, and place it over medium heat.Watch carefully and, when the
oil just starts to give off wisps of smoke, add the shallots, garlic, chopped
cilantro, ginger and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook, stirring frequently,
until the mixture is soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

• Stir in the stock, hoisin and soy sauce, and simmer briskly, stirring frequently,
until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes
longer. Stir in the honey and butter; reduce the heat to very low, cover
and keep warm.

• When the grill is ready, put the steaks on a platter and generously season
both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper; there should be
