Mother's Chops (2022)
Some of Michael Symon's best dishes are influenced by the women around him, so he's dedicating his meal to them. He starts with Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary Salt, inspired by his mother. A side of Grilled Halloumi and Watermelon Kabobs are his daughter-in-law's favorite dish off the grill, and Michael has a childhood memory of declaring it "squeaky cheese" with his sister. Finally, after spending many years as a vegetarian, Chickpea Salad remains one of Michael's wife Lizzie's favorite dishes, so she joins him to show him how it's done.
Chicken and Waffles Gone Greek (2022)
Inspired by his heritage, Michael Symon combines traditional Greek dishes with backyard American grilling. Utilizing the earthy flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean, Michael makes Sesame Roasted Chicken Thighs by marinating the chicken in a sesame seed sauce to add crunch before finishing on the grill. While he whips up some traditional Baba Ganoush, his wife, Liz, joins him to make Feta Waffle Chips, elevating tangy feta by transforming it into crispy waffle fries.
Grilling All Grown Up (2022)
Michael Symon gets nostalgic, and with a few extra ingredients and some simple steps, he makes childhood favorites worthy of any dinner party. Starting with mac and cheese, he adds wine and a selection of mushrooms to transform the dish into a creamy Marsala and Mushroom Pasta Bake. Making toast is a basic skill for young cooks, but Michael pumps it up with his Rosemary Bruschetta, and his wife, Lizzie, makes Boozy Frozen Cream Bars.
Memories to Grill For (2022)
Food is often the center of good times -- or for Michael Symon, the best times. He makes Grilled Swordfish with Salsa Fresca, reminding him of his last meal with his parents before he headed off for college, and his Spicy Cucumber Salad is just like his grandfather Pap made throughout Michael's childhood. For dessert, Michael's wife, Lizzie, joins him to make Ricotta Cornmeal Pound Cake, taking them back to the restaurant where they first met and worked together. It's a meal with all the makings of good memories.
Amping Up the Steaks (2022)
A cup of coffee is a typical way to start the day, but Michael Symon is using coffee throughout his whole meal! Starting with a Texas classic, his Chicken-Fried Steak with Pepper Gravy has a hint of coffee and some tobacco-tasting onions. He also makes Fresh Mushroom Salad. Michael's wife, Lizzie, who swears by a mason jar, uses one to shake up a Cold Brew Martini in a flash. Lastly, they make a foolproof dessert, Banana Espresso Pudding, with layers of flavor.
