Mix Up Your S'mores
Guy Fieri brings a big bite bash, holiday style, by pulling out all the stops. Slammin' Clam Fritters are crunchy cornmeal cakes packed with freshly steamed clams, and served with a zesty horseradish-caper sauce. When it's time for dinner, gather everyone around the table to present the Ensenada Lobster Thermador, featuring chunks of lobster and chorizo in a creamy dijon sauce, baked in lobster shells with a crunchy parmesan crust. A real showstopper. For dessert, a Rustic Pear Tart is simple and elegant, showcasing market-fresh pears in a homemade freeform crust. Season's eatings! Slammin' Clam Fritters; Ensenada Lobster Thermador; Rustic Pear Tart.
With mocktails being the latest craze, Kelsey learns firsthand how bartenders are reinventing cocktail favorites and turning them into innovative mocktails. Kelsey visits Geoff Bartakovics at the Tasting Table to get secrets on making trendsetting mocktails. She meets the ladies at Ovenly who make innovative bar snacks: spicy bacon popcorn and peanuts roasted in bacon fat. Kelsey heads back to her kitchen to make her own happy hour favorites: a blackberry, cucumber and ginger spritzer, homemade pork rind cheese puffs, chorizo-stuffed fried olives and spiced bar nuts with orange bitters. Kelsey's girlfriends stop by for a happy hour filled with delicious bar bites and an unexpected mocktail!
Kelsey serves up some of the most memorable flavors, tips and techniques from her recent culinary road trip through Spain. There's nothing more Spanish than Gazpacho and her cold and creamy recipe uses a secret Spanish ingredient that you'll want to use every time you make it. Grilled Garlic Shrimp topped with a classic Romesco Sauce and brothy and steamy Clams mixed with Spicy Chorizo Sausage pull from Spanish seafood essentials. For dessert, it's a twist on the Empanada, when she adds the classic American ingredient &@151; apples — then combines it with a sweet almond pastry cream. It's a trans-Atlantic trip to her favorite culinary hotspot, Spain!
Whether they're long links, plump patties or spicy little slices, everyone loves sausage and we're sampling the best the US has to offer! We're starting by checking out a chorizo burger in Jacksonville, Florida, and getting down on a sausage sampler at a pork haven in Portland, Maine. Next, we get a little New Orleans flavor with a Los Angeles restaurants' Cajun sausage po' boy before trying a wood-fired Venison Hot Dog in Austin, Texas. There's comfort food classics in Tacoma, Washington, a surf-and-turf sausage entree in Nashville and some meaty pizzas in Dallas. Finally, we're pairing sausage with beer at a unique eatery in Baltimore.
Guy Fieri is expecting more than 100 guests for a multi-course Thanksgiving feast at the ranch, so he invites some of his best chef friends over to do a warm-up. Alex Guarnaschelli's Family Lasagna is just the appetizer for her Roast Turkey with Mozzarella and Pepperoni Stuffing and her Cranberry Aperol Spritzers. Jonathan Waxman puts his own spin on the turducken with a Capoducken with Chorizo and Oyster-Chestnut Stuffing, and he lightens things up with Gratin of Celery Root and Potato. Marc Murphy plans ahead, preparing a whole meal just so he has leftovers to create his Turkey Shepherd's Pie and Brussels Sprouts and Bacon, and then he celebrates the flavors of fall in Red Wine Cooked Apples with Pecan Crumble.
Guy Fieri has an all-star lineup of chefs cooking game day grub in his ranch kitchen. Alex Guarnaschelli serves finger foods like the classic Pigs in a Blanket and her take on New England's favorite chocolate sandwich treat, Dark Chocolate Almond Whoopie Pies. Justin Warner makes savory Smoked Cauliflower Bites with Caesar Salad Spread and breaks out the chemistry set to create Spherefied Pickle Back whiskey shots. Marc Murphy takes advantage of the wood-fired oven for a Grilled Flatbread with Wild Mushrooms and an authentic Big Paella with Chicken and Shrimp. And Eric Greenspan makes Spicy Garlic Chicken Wings with Carrot Celery Chow Chow and Blue Cheese and then slathers his melted homemade American cheese all over Chorizo Chili Potato Chip Nachos.
