Make This Tonight

Chef Monti shares her stories and recipes for the two tasty pies that literally changed the course of her life, forever. Determination and a deliciously good Apple pie gave this near homeless mom an opportunity of a lifetime. But it was her Pastelon, a Puerto Rican savory meat, cheese, and plantain -Puerto Rican style Lasagna, that made her a TV sensation.

Tonight, Cannabis Chef Holden and his sister and Co-Founder of Altered Plates are whipping up a highly addictive Smashburger with Irish nachos! Toasty English muffins, loaded with 2 juicy all-beef patties, cheese and topped with Holden’s special “infused” Thousand Island dressing, and served with bacon-y, cheese-y chips - you better believe you’ll be coming back for more. Get your mind and belly right this 4/20.

Chef Bricia takes us back in time to her childhood in Oaxaca, Mexico, for a taste of her mother’s signature meal - Pollo Enchipotlado, a smokey and tangy smothered chicken dish, that she serves with savory Mexican rice topped with sweet bananas. And a classic Horchata to wash it all down. Nothing says lovin like a home-cooked meal from Mom.

Chef Brendan is toasting his mum and grandmum tonight with an epic British Sunday Roast Dinner. On the menu, Rib-Eye Roast with Gravy, Yorkshire Pudding, and Cheesy Cauliflower. For dessert, every British kid’s favorite, Jam Roly Poly. What’s in a name?
