This is our first experience growing these large sweet onions and I'm more than a little surprised at the size and quality of this cultivar. We are an onion-loving, country-cooking type of family; and onions fit into most of our summer and winter meal plans. We haven't tried these yet in a lot of dishes, but I'm sure they will fit in with burgers, hot dogs, and brats. Chili might require something with a little more zip. One thing we might do next year is to plant fewer onions because our cellar will be overcrowded for a couple of months.
