Change Season
Season 1, Episode 1

Mama Mia, What a Meatball!

Inspired by his mom's cooking, Michael Symon masters Chicken Parmesan Meatballs on the grill. As one cheese is never enough, Michael adds smooth ricotta to the meat and makes a quick and easy Sweet Red Sauce while his wife, Liz, joins him to cook Soft Polenta over their fire pit. Then, Liz whips up a simple Vinegar and Cream Dressing to accompany Michael's mom's favorite garden salad before they relax in the sunshine together, enjoying every tasty bite.

Season 1, Episode 2

Comfort Classics and Fruity Cocktails

Proving you can make any dish outside on a grill, Michael Symon prepares a rich Mac and Cheese loaded with Smoked Ham with Cream Cheese, Gouda and Pecorino. Plus, even desserts can come together over live fire, so Michael creates a Grilled Apple Crisp while his wife, Liz, joins him to concoct a Vodka Punch, her favorite summertime cocktail.

Season 1, Episode 3

Dad's Sticky Ribs and Decadent Cookies

Michael Symon and his dad have always shared a passion for outdoor cooking, so Michael turns the backyard grill into a smoker to make his dad's favorite Sticky Ribs. Then, Michael kicks a classic side dish up a notch with Grilled Potato Salad as his wife, Liz, joins Michael to turn his dad's obsession with chocolate into giant cookies infused with tons of chocolate, crunchy pretzel and sea salt. The incredible aromas from all three dishes bring their puppy Norman into the backyard for a surprise appearance!

Season 1, Episode 4

Nothing Beats Barbecue Chicken

Michael Symon grills up a feast of summertime staples, starting with juicy Barbecue Chicken slathered in a Kansas City-style sauce. Then, he gives fresh coleslaw a twist by adding pickles, mint leaves and poppy seed. Plus, Liz puts a spin on a summery cocktail by replacing the vodka from a Moscow Mule with sweet bourbon to make a refreshing Kentucky Mule -- perfect for washing down a delicious meal outdoors.

Season 1, Episode 5

Grilled Steak and Potatoes the Symon Way

Cooking steak on a grill can be intimidating, so Michael Symon demonstrates simple techniques for grilling skirt steak to tender, medium-rare perfection. Then, he complements the steak with Sticky Barbecue Onions fired up in a cast-iron skillet with brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cayenne and cumin. To round out his outdoor edition of meat and potatoes, Michael uses a second grill for Cheesy Hash Brown Potatoes that feature grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter and garlic.

Season 1, Episode 6

Two Grills and One Mother-In-Law Inspired Meal

Michael Symon believes any dish can be mastered on an outdoor grill, and to prove it, he creates a decadent entree with Creamy Chicken and Dumplings. Michael's wife, Liz, joins in to make Drop Biscuits from her mom's recipe to serve as the dumplings while Michael picks fresh herbs from the garden for the filling. Finally, Michael works the grill for his favorite dessert -- Bananas Foster.

Season 1, Episode 7

The Thrill of Pizza on a Grill

Cooking outdoors inspires Italian pizza magic as Michael Symon turns a standard grill into a pizza oven. He uses coals and cast iron pans to cook his homemade dough and produce the perfect crust for his Grilled White Pizza and a gooey Three Cheese Calzone. Michael's wife, Liz, joins him at the grill and makes sweet, crunchy Italian Florentine Cookies to top off the feast.

Season 1, Episode 8

All Greek to Me

It's a burger gift from the Greek gods! Michael Symon's Greek heritage is on full display as he makes a grilled Lamb Burger with Tzatziki. His wife, Liz, concocts an Ouzo Spritz with pickled watermelon rind that pairs perfectly with Michael's burger and side of sweet-and-salty Watermelon and Feta Salad.

Season 1, Episode 9

Meats and Sweets Feel the Heat

Only Michael Symon would think to make Moussaka on the Grill, taking the Mediterranean casserole layered with meat, veggies and cheese sauce outside to show just how simple the cooking technique can be. His wife, Liz, joins him to create a light, complimentary side dish of Grilled and Steamed Artichokes. They keep the grill firing for a sweet dessert of Red Wine Poached Fruit and creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Season 1, Episode 10

Italian Feast on Fire

Paying respect to his Italian roots, Michael Symon creates an entire Italian feast over coals using his outdoor grill, beginning with smoking fresh tomatoes for his Fettuccine with Smoked Tomato Sauce. His wife, Liz, mixes up creamy ricotta, lemon and herbs for Stuffed Squash Blossoms from their garden and fries them over the grill. For dessert, a decadent Lemon Upside-Down Cake is a sweet way to finish off the meal.

Season 1, Episode 11

Family-Style Fish Fry

Flame on! Michael Symon's outdoor, family-friendly meal starts with a Fish Fry with Lime Aioli, where he fries fresh fluke in a pot over coals on the grill. It's not a fish fry without taters, so he uses the grill again to make crispy, creamy Smashed Potatoes. Michael's wife, Liz, joins him to help balance out the meal with a Quick Pickled Zucchini Salad.

Season 1, Episode 12

Parm and Polenta Cake Make Everything Better

Michael Symon is determined to make his friend Olivia love eggplant Parmesan, and the only way to do it is to reinvent it the Symon way. He makes his Grilled Eggplant Parmesan outdoors on the grill, topping fresh eggplant slices with garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and salty Parmesan. He also whips up a classic accompaniment with salami and provolone, Antipasti Salad with Campfire Dressing. For dessert, Michael's wife, Liz, helps out by making a simple, seasonal Cherry Polenta Cake with Michael's favorite Michigan cherries.

Season 1, Episode 13

Clambake on the Grill

Michael Symon makes a summertime seafood meal that's all about the prep and then letting the foil and grill do the work. He starts with foil packets of Clams with Sausage and Peppers, which steam to perfection over coals. His wife, Liz, helps him use the same technique for a dessert of Peaches with Mascarpone and Honey, and she concocts a refreshing, summertime beverage to bring it all together, Rose Sangria.

Season 1, Episode 14

Ranching Out with Ribs and Corn

One of the few things Michael Symon often doesn't like is ranch dressing, so he challenges himself to rethink the flavors as a rub and transforms his standard coal grill into a smoker for tender and juicy Ranch-Rubbed Pork Ribs. Thrilled with the rub, he also uses it in Baked Sweet Potatoes with Charred Onion Ranch Dip. Michael's wife, Liz, makes Grilled Corn with Ranchovy Butter, featuring the rub yet again.

Season 1, Episode 15

Italian Made Easy

Michael Symon is back in his home kitchen to make Carbonara-"ish" pasta, Tomato Garlic Bread and Classic Caesar Salad.

Season 1, Episode 16

Peppers Make a Meal

Michael Symon uses peppers to showcase the treats of early fall with Stuffed Peppers with Eggplant and Cheesy Rice, Fennel Salad with Citrus and The Red Bell cocktail.

Season 1, Episode 17

Breakfast Favorites
