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.
Guy invites Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives friend Vickie Ochoa over for a Southwestern spread. Vickie shares her famous Carne Asada Torta recipe, and Guy makes a pot of Grilled Chicken Tortilla Soup with Tequila Cream. They finish the meal sharing a giant Grilled Watermelon-Jalapeno Bowla.
Bobby Flay takes some inspiration from California Wine Country to create a menu that's perfect for cooking and drinking with your favorite red or white variety. Pour a glass and sip alongside Bobby as he grills Ribeye with Goat Cheese, Meyer Lemon-Honey Mustard and Watercress and a Grilled Chicken Salad with Apricot Glaze, Homemade Mustard Seed Dressing and Grape-Almonds-Fresno Chiles. Another Wine Country staple, Fresh Figs take center stage on Bobby's Flatbread with Monterey Jack, Blue Cheese and of course, Red Wine Reduced Vinaigrette.
Growing up, Trisha Yearwood's mom would wake up Trisha and her sister, Beth, in the middle of the night to stargaze in their cow pasture. With this memory in mind, Trisha and Beth spend the afternoon making a quick and easy dinner of Bacon Wrapped Dried Apricots, Grilled Garlic Caesar Salad and Grilled Summer Veggie Pasta. After a little Lemon Blackberry Cheesecake Parfait for dessert, they head outside to watch Mother Nature's stunning spectacle.
In Mary Berg's world, when life gives you lemons, you put them in everything! Lemons are her absolute main squeeze in the kitchen, and she can never get enough. Using her all-time favorite ingredient as the star, Mary starts with sweets by baking Lemon Raspberry Loaf topped with a bright pink glaze, sure to satisfy her inner old lady at tea time. Moving on to mains, Mary whips up Lemon Parmesan Chicken that's fancy enough for guests but quick enough for any night of the week. Then, she shows off a zesty take on carbonara: Creamy Lemon Crab Pasta with a nutty sesame topping. To finish it off, she obviously has to make Lemonade infused with seasonal berries and fresh mint.
