The whole family is pitching in for a big party to celebrate Ree's father-in-law, Chuck's, birthday. Everyone is gathering at the lodge for a Cajun Surf and Turf feast, with rare beef tenderloin and juicy jumbo shrimp, and Cajun Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Butter Dinner Rolls on the side. The girls are helping Ree make a delicious Strawberry Shortcake Cake, while her sister-in-law makes Salad and her mother-in-law takes the boys shopping. It's one birthday Chuck will never forget.
Bonjour! The Kitchen crew celebrates one of the greatest food cities in the world as they serve up flavorful French bistro classics.

Top it all off with delicious Onion Gravy, and you can expect "the holiday hang at your house" to become an annual tradition.
Guy doesn't mess around when it comes to his chops: today he's got a whole bone-in pork rack smothered in two kinds of mustard, rolled in bread crumbs, and roasted to juicy perfection. This centerpiece deserves two sides: a cool, crisp Green Bean, Walnut and Feta salad and a steaming pot of Adams Apple Mashed Potatoes, creamy and crunchy with chunks of fresh Granny Smiths. To drink, Lemonation Creation blends whiskey with fresh lemonade and a dash of sour apple schnapps for an extra tart bite.
