While Valerie Bertinelli's husband, Tom, and his brother, Dave, compete over their home brews, Valerie makes a beer-centric meal. The menu includes Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Fried Shallots and Fresno Chile slices, Potato Skins stuffed with Beer Cheese, Scallions and Bacon, and Pan-Roasted Tomatoes with Quick Balsamic Jam. For dessert, Valerie submits a Stout and Caramel Milkshake to the competition.
Bobby Flay's exploring the flavors that first inspired him, and he is giving some unlikely ingredients the Southwestern treatment! First, Grilled Oysters christened with a tart and spicy Jalapeno-Cilantro Mignonette; then some meaty Lobster Tails hit the grill brushed with savory Lemon and Red Fresno Chile Butter. Yet, it is not all seafood on this tour. Taking inspiration from his favorite fried chicken, Chef Flay makes Red Chile Buttermilk Brined Chicken that he takes to Taos with a Spicy Mango Honey Glaze. Paired with a Napa Cabbage Cole Slaw with Creamy Cumin Vinaigrette and a refreshing Lime Ricky Margarita Float, the desert heat has never been cooler.
