FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR revisited

while we are looking back at our 1st season of Cooking for the Boys LIVE, lets not forget that we did much more than cook. In fact we offered specialty shows like our FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR show, and one of my favorites was the LEMON DROP.... enjoy

Lemon Drop

The biggest show of Season 1

While we made 27 live episodes, nothing came close to our BIG THANKSGIVING SHOW. It was a full meal, eight different dishes and ran about an hour. That is with no commercial breaks and Chef Mick always moving. So while it may be the middle of August 2012, it is never too early to plan for Thanksgiving... enjoy THE BIG THANKSGIVING SHOW!!!
