Kardea Brown is celebrating the holiday season with her closest family and a traditional Sea Island menu. The stars of the table are Maple-Glazed Cornish Hens, and for sides, she makes the Lowcountry staple Limpin' Susan with Shrimp and her Grandma's Green Beans with Potatoes and Smoked Turkey. For dessert, Kardea turns to a Gullah classic, Sweet Potato Pone.
This trip, Guy Fieri's pulling up for some one-of-a-kind meals. In Spokane, a joint in a shopping center is slatherin' burgers with a remoulade they call "Goo." Then in Philadelphia, a Southern/Jewish fusion restaurant is serving Bubby's brisket with beans and rice, and in Mandeville, La., a family-style favorite's putting a Cajun spin on Oysters Rockefeller.
Kardea Brown is planning the perfect meal to celebrate her brothers as two of the best dads she knows! She is frying up her Country Fried Steak with White Gravy over Kardea's Herby Grits with parsley and thyme, alongside Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes and caramelized onions. Then, to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth, Kardea bakes a Banana Pudding Poke Cake.
Kardea Brown puts together a seasonal Southern meal with staples from her kitchen and pantry. She's cooking up Grilled Country-Style Pork Ribs with a cola glaze, Red Beans and Rice, and Grilled Cabbage Wedges with Buttermilk Ranch. For dessert, a Cherry Cola Chocolate Cake is topped with a warm cola-fudge frosting. Sometimes, cooking with what you've got makes the best meals!
There's no better way to celebrate the end of summer than with some great food and great friends in the backyard! Kardea Brown hosts a summer BBQ on the porch with a menu of Steak Burgers with Hot Pepper Bacon Jam and Beer Cheese, Grilled Corn with Garlic Butter, Spicy Sausage Baked Beans and Homemade Pineapple Whip with Toasted Coconut and Macadamia Nuts.
Chef Bobby Flay's proving there's more to grilling than just burgers and hot dogs. His light and healthy menu features Grilled Halibut finished with a flavorful drizzle of citrus-brown butter vinaigrette, a versatile grilled veggie and bread salad tossed in an herb dressing and crunchy chilled green beans with a basic vinaigrette. And to get the party started -- blackberry-flavored shooters!
