It's the weekend and the Deens are heading to one of their favorite places -- Ottawa Farms -- to pick berries and gather ingredients for their Sunday brunch. To kick off this morning menu, Jamie's making Steel Cut Oatmeal with Bananas and Strawberries. Next, he's putting together an easy and delectable Breakfast Bake. Then, Jamie is satisfying the family's potato craving with his Hash Brown Cakes, and he has a sweet ending to a sweet weekend with a Tropical Fruit Salad with Honey and Lime. The Deens are indeed the breakfast bunch today!
We all get busy, but sometimes you just have to slow down and take a good old fashioned Lunch Break! Pat gets comfortable at the grill when he makes his hearty Grilled Vegetable Hero sure to satisfy even the biggest of appetites. And what's a sandwich without some Spicy Sweet Potato Chips. Add a little Orzo Salad on the side and you've got yourself a deliciously satisfying lunch! But this is the South, so lunch is not complete without a little "house wine"- Gina breaks the rules with her Spiked Sweet Tea!
The Kitchen is snowed in, so it's the perfect time to cook up a storm, starting with Sunny Anderson's triple-decker E.A.B.L.T. Geoffrey Zakarian warms things up with a hearty Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder, and Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee whip up sweet desserts in mugs. Jeff raids the freezer to make Crispy Cajun Popcorn Shrimp and Cheesy Grits. The hosts get creative with delicious snow-inspired crafts, and in honor of the Winter Olympics, figure skater Sasha Cohen stops by for Geoffrey's Gold Medal Hot Tequila Toddy and a Winter Warm-Up game.
Noah Cappe takes his taste buds on an international tour. First, Noah heads to the center of the country at the Taste of Omaha for a taste of the Elote Corn Dog that tops a chorizo corn dog with corn salsa and Banh Mi Fries loaded with juicy marinated steak and tangy pickled vegetables. Then at the Rochester Lilac Festival in New York, Noah samples Birria Torta -- a Mexican sandwich stacked with delicious layers upon layers of slow-braised beef, Oaxaca cheese and avocado -- and Korean Tacos that pile soy-braised pork and gochujang crema on top of wonton nachos. For something closer to home, Noah tries a riff on a local Rochester delicacy, Garbage Rolls, that fries hamburger meat, meat sauce, macaroni salad and fries in an eggroll. Finally, it's strawberry season at the West Virginia Strawberry Festival, where Brody's BBQ Lasagna grills up a Southern take on a classic lasagna with layers of noodles, barbecue sauce, cheese, pulled pork and chicken. Plus, there's the Strawberry Cheesecake Calzone for dessert, fried fresh and loaded with local strawberries and sweet cream cheese.
Jeff Mauro is putting The Kitchen's best summer side dishes front and center, and he reveals a new recipe for his Potato Chip Potato Salad, too. Geoffrey Zakarian mixes up zesty Fusilli with Arugula Pesto and Crispy Pancetta, and Jeff and Katie Lee Biegel team up for fast and sweet bruschettas, topping one with Peaches and Goat Cheese and the other with Strawberry and Ricotta. Then Sunny Anderson and Jeff serve up Sambal Mayo and Crunch Ranch Grilled Corn, Katie impresses with a colorful Peach and Cornbread Panzanella, and guest chef Fabio Viviani whips up his Fresh Bean Salad with Roasted Chickpeas, Crispy Mortadella Bites and Mustard Vinaigrette.
Bobby Flay takes a "stay-cation" to the tropics with this Island-inspired brunch. He uses the brightest and boldest flavors in his Jerk Pork Belly and Sweet Potato Hash with Fried Eggs, Coconut Waffles with Chocolate Maple Syrup and Bananas and a Tropical Fruit Salad with Ginger Syrup. And to make it really feel like a tropical vacation, he'll shake up some Grapefruit Mojitos.
Guy Fieri is hitting the road and taking a detour to find some out-of-the-ordinary eats. In Chico, Calif., a Hawaiian-Asian fusion spot serving up righteous ramen and a fried chicken bao. In Vancouver, British Columbia, a funky joint putting their spin on lamb and pork belly. And in Richland, Wash., a bakery-gone-savory firin' up duck banh mi and sweet potato lasagna.
