I love the fire roasted artichokes from J. Alexander’s. Can you find out what the recipe is and how to make it? Thank you kindly. Gida Hammami

Now that we’ve tried the fire roasted artichokes from J. Alexander’s, we have to agree with our readers, this is a great way to prepare artichokes. We’ll be grilling artichokes from now on. At the restaurant they’re served with a remoulade sauce. Those who tasted this when we tested the recipe agreed, remoulade would be fine, but it’s not really needed. These artichokes are perfect without any adornment.

They’re such a popular item on the menu at J. Alexander’s that J. Alexander’s chef and vice president of culinary operations Ian Dodson created an instructional video on YouTube to guide their guests in making this recipe at home. Dodson found that many people are intimidated by the idea of trimming and cooking artichokes, and as he says, “They’re really not that scary!”

All J. Alexander’s locations are open seven days a week for dine-in and takeout. Orders can be placed on the J. Alexander’s website or through the ChowNow app.
