Classic Southern food is one of this country's most beloved regional cuisines, but a new style of cooking is rising out of Dixie, and Bobby Flay thinks it works beautifully on the hot grates! Light Smoked Trout Lettuce Wraps take us about as far from barbecue as you can get, topped with Sliced Carrots and a creamy Meyer Lemon Dressing. Then, a classic Southern cracker spread makes a surprising and tangy appearance on Chef Flay's juicy Pimento Cheese Bacon Burger. Next, Southern curry makes an appearance on his Curry-Rubbed Smoked Chicken Thighs with Sorghum-Chile Glaze. And finally, Bobby whips up a Sparkling Bourbon Lemonade, a heat-beater that just might unseat the Mint Julep as the go-to Southern cooler. It'll be delicious, y'all!
Small plates are a great way to show off big flavor and a fun way to entertain a large group of people. Kelsey will show the viewer some of her favorite twists on classic hors d'oeuvres. Pickled Shrimp is paired with a refreshing Lemon and Chive Aioli and the classic Deviled Eggs is topped with homemade Candied Bacon. And for a quick no nonsense small plate, she'll take favorite Antipasto and wrap them up in crisp Cups of Lettuce. Then, fresh Stone Fruit gets chopped up and combined into delicious Salsa, paired with Cinnamon Chips. She'll top everything off with sweet and refreshing Vanilla Bean Lemonade. It's a small plate party that will prove that good things do come in small packages.
Guy Fieri's chef friends visit his ranch to cook, and he challenges them to create healthy dishes instead of the epic, decadent meals they usually make. Eric Greenspan keeps the crunch but cuts the oil in a baked Middle Eastern falafel, and he uses the natural sweetness of berries and stone fruit to make a mouthwatering crumble. G. Garvin roasts crunchy cauliflower with Greek spices and harnesses the health benefits of ancient grains in a quinoa shrimp bowl. Aarti Sequeira boosts baked chicken wings with exotic African piri piri spices and cuts carbs with Korean ground beef lettuce wraps. Finally, Richard Blais uses molecular gastronomy to reinvent salmon poke and elevates the simple boiled potato with Greek yogurt and bonito.
