Today is a blast from the past! Sandra's menu is a tribute to the soda fountain shops of yesterday, and she's putting a modern, semi-homemade spin on all her recipes. Even though the kids don't remember the days of soda jerks, they won't be able to say no to good old burgers and fries! The menu starts off with a modern twist on the classic burger: Blue Cheese and Bacon Burgers. You'll love how Sandra dolls up the retro hot dog for her bacon-wrapped Fountain Dogs. Then it's an old-time boardwalk favorite, Chili Fries. For dessert, you won't believe your eyes! She's shaped ice cream and other goodies into the shape of a potato, for her amazing Baked Potato Ice Cream. Then it's cocktail time! You'll love this new classic -- Spiked Egg Cream.
Any day is a perfect day for a beautiful Desert Dinner Party. Sandra's house is decked out in an exotic palm tree motif, and her recipes are just as decadent. But she made them super simple and super delicious. Your guests are going to love this dinner party! First up, Sandra's Broccoli Slaw, which is light, crispy and perfect for a party. Then, her steamy Bourbon Baked Beans, which are both sweet and smoky. On to the main course: Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops With Warm Mango Salsa—hot, spicy and simple. The dessert, Cranberry Vanilla Can Cakes, is fun to make and just as fun to eat. Then it's cocktail time! Sandra has two tropical drinks: an Oasis Martini that's tart and sophisticated, and her Palm Springs Punch, which whisks you away to the calm of the desert.
We're getting to the meat of the matter as we chow down on some powerhouse proteins! For starters, a spot in Portland, Maine, is making dreams come true with a dish called the Meat Coma packed with smoked beef brisket, pork ribs, pork shoulder and house-made chili. Next, a restaurant in New Orleans is transforming classic po'boys into sky-high meaty masterpieces and it's meat madness in Milwaukee at a place that's grilling up outrageous midwestern mainstays. They're creating mouthwatering meat monuments in Denver and Texas excess meets Cali cool in Huntington Park, California. A meatball shop in New York City has something truly meat-tacular for your bucket list while a nearby Lebanese restaurant has the shawarma to warm-a your heart. Finally, a butcher shop and steakhouse come together in Houston to create memorable meatiness.
