The Kitchen hosts celebrate a Southern culinary tradition by serving up a delicious plate of food with meat and three yummy sides. To get things started, Geoffrey Zakarian makes his porch-worthy Bourbon Peach Iced Tea, and Katie Lee Biegel uses that tea in her family's recipe for Classic Sweet Tea Oven Fried Chicken. Then, GZ makes his version of Squash Casserole with an herby breadcrumb topping, and Jeff Mauro honors his mother-in-law's Kentucky roots by sharing her recipe for Skillet Cornbread with Pepper Relish Honey Butter. Finishing off this Southern meal, Sunny Anderson puts her twist on mac and cheese with an Easy Paccheri and Cheese.
There's no better way to enjoy summer than outdoor eating and gathering, so the Kitchen hosts are serving up perfectly packable eats for the beach, park, pool or a hike! Jeff Mauro fries up an iconic Picnic Fried Chicken with Honey Giardiniera Butter, and Geoffrey Zakarian puts his Iron Chef spin on Pasta Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Grilled Green Onion-Crushed Olive Vinaigrette. Katie Lee Biegel whips up Curried Chickpea Salad Pitas to bring to the picnic, and Sunny Anderson shares tips and tricks for feasting in the great outdoors. Finally, Alex Guarnaschelli freshens up the outdoor feast with her Chilled Melon, Cucumber and Mint Salad.
