Ep 2. Burger-Rama

Not My Mama’s Meals is a show hosted by Bobby Deen, the son of cooking icon Paula Deen. In this fourth season of the show, Bobby is back with more twists on classic comfort foods. In episode 2, Bobby celebrates Burger-Rama by creating healthier versions of some popular burger favorites.

As the episode begins, Bobby visits a local burger joint to get some inspiration and learn some tips from the experts. He takes notes on how to properly cook patties and perfect toppings. Back in the kitchen, Bobby starts by creating a turkey burger with a twist. Instead of using a bun, he opts for a lettuce wrap and adds a spicy aioli sauce for an extra kick. The turkey patty is juicy and flavorful, and the lettuce wrap adds a refreshing crunch.

Next up, Bobby tackles a classic burger joint favorite: chili cheese fries. Instead of using beef chili, Bobby makes a vegetarian version using lentils. He also swaps out the traditional cheese sauce for a healthier Greek yogurt-based topping. The fries are crispy and satisfying without being too heavy, and the lentil chili adds a spicy and satisfying kick.

For his final burger creation, Bobby takes on the ultimate challenge: a burger stuffed with cheese. But instead of using a traditional beef patty, Bobby opts for a chicken patty for a healthier twist. He stuffs the patty with a mix of cheddar and cream cheese, before grilling it to perfection. The cheese oozes out of the chicken patty, making for a deliciously indulgent burger without being too heavy.

Throughout the episode, Bobby emphasizes the importance of making healthy choices when it comes to comfort foods. By swapping out traditional ingredients for healthier alternatives, Bobby shows that you can still enjoy your favorite comfort foods without sacrificing taste or nutrition.

Overall, Burger-Rama is a fun and satisfying episode of Not My Mama’s Meals that celebrates the beloved burger in all its delicious forms. Bobby’s creative twists on classic recipes show that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring, and that you can still indulge in your favorite foods without feeling guilty. Whether you’re a burger fanatic or just looking for some tasty meal inspiration, this episode is definitely worth a watch.
