Cookbook author Siri Daly joins the fun with a tray of her Greek Nachos, and Katie Lee serves up a bite-sized treat, Ice Cream Sundae Bon Bons. The hosts open the Kitchen Helpline with Scott Conant from the Food Network Fantasy Kitchen, tackling questions about cooking family-friendly sides, and Geoffrey Zakarian tops off the evening with two twists on a Shirley Temple: a Dirty Shirley cocktail and a Don't Call It Shirley mocktail.
