Swap School
Guy Fieri doesn't love candy, so when his chef friends visit the ranch for Halloween, they know to mix heat with the sweet. Amanda Freitag starts off the meal with a Red Hot-blood orange margarita made with spicy cinnamon syrup, and she smokes deep-fried chicken wings coated in hot sauce and pomegranate molasses. Marc Murphy embraces the colors of the holiday with orange and black caviar-covered deviled eggs as well as cheesy risotto served in an acorn squash. Christian Petroni shows his pizza-making expertise with a Tenderoni Pizza dripping with hot honey, and he serves up fire-roasted broccolini sprinkled with sweet and tart preserved lemon.
The Kitchen cooks up a show-stopping spread for the holidays beginning with Geoffrey Zakarian's Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Loin. Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee wow the crowd with two takes on polenta -- a Four Cheese Creamy Polenta and a Creamy Lemon Parmesan Polenta with Roasted Tomatoes. Cookbook author Elizabeth Heiskell serves up some sweet holiday gifts with her Bourbon Balls and Salted Caramel Pecan Bites, then we put a modern spin on the Yule Log with a Stump de Noel Cake. Food Network's Amanda Freitag makes a show-stopping Kabocha and Acorn Squash side dish. Finally, Katie creates a Caprese Wreath topped with all the tasty trimmings and we toast to the holiday with a Big Batch Pomegranate Cocktail.
