Symon's Dinners Cooking Out Season 1 Episode 2: Comfort Classics and Cocktails

In this episode of Symon's Dinners Cooking Out, chef Michael Symon prepares some of his favorite comfort classics and shows viewers how to whip up some delicious cocktails to go with them.

Symon starts by grilling up some juicy burgers, topped with crispy bacon and melty cheese. He also shows how to make a tangy, homemade ketchup and mustard to take the burgers to the next level.

Next up, Symon moves on to a classic mac and cheese recipe, but with a twist. He adds savory duck confit to the cheesy pasta, giving it an extra rich and decadent flavor.

For a side dish, Symon makes a crisp and refreshing summer salad with grilled peaches, shaved fennel, and salty prosciutto.

And what would comfort classics be without a dessert? Symon brings out his childhood favorite, a bourbon-infused cherry cobbler. He tops it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for the perfect end to the meal.

But of course, no meal is complete without a cocktail to wash it down. Symon shows viewers how to make two different summer drinks – a refreshing watermelon margarita and a sweet and smoky bourbon lemonade.

Throughout the episode, Symon shares cooking tips and tricks, as well as personal stories and memories that make these comfort classics even more special. With his easy-going personality and expertise in the kitchen, Symon's Dinners Cooking Out is the perfect show for anyone who loves great food and good company.
