ALL STEAK RESTAURANT ORANGE ROLLS

ALL STEAK RESTAURANT FAMOUS ORANGE ROLLS

added by Jewel Hall

I have lived in Cullman, AL all my life and Cullman's All Steak Restaurant has always been famous for their Orange Rolls. They are made from scratch and even the locals doesn't tire of them. They are so delightful for any occasion but especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I used to pick up 4 dozen and deliver them to the hospital for a family whose loved one was near death. Being a Hospice nurse offered comfort to families but these Orange Rolls had a way of taking their minds off their sadness if only for a few minutes. I've seen them light up many sad eyes. There was never any left over.
