Cheeseburgers with Chimichurri Slaw

Now let's get started on that chimichurri slaw for our burger

Do you know how to peel a garlic, honey? Put it under the blade of your knife and pop down

There you go. And then that helps you get that skin off because it's going into the blender

So for this chimichurri sauce, we've got three cloves of garlic, one shallot

And then, smell that. What is that? Smells like a lemon. It's cilantro

It smells like a lemon. Now this is parsley. We only used about a quarter of a cup of the cilantro

but I want you to put all of this parsley into the blender. And we're going to need a half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Three tablespoons of white wine vinegar. One, two, three. Very good

What's up? Very good. What's up? Oh, a little extra. Okay, how much of this

Three tablespoons, equal amount. One. Jinx, show me a Coke

Two. Three. Three. I think that's perfect. All right, now we're going to put on our lid, and we're just going to pulsate that until it's nice and chopped up

Let's see. I wasn ready Paula I wasn either There now it going Lauren Look So tell me Lauren about your audition for American Idol

I tried out for Idol when I was 15, and... You tried out for..

What are you saying? Idol. American Idol. Oh, Idol. I thought you said auto

Okay. You talk just like I do. Give me a break. Come on. Ah

Anyway, so. You were 15 when you tried out. And I was the last person to go, which I didn't think was a good thing because it's higher

Yeah, but I would think that that would be a good thing. I walked into the room and I saw Randy Jackson, who's been on the show since season one

Right. And am we just going to dump this in there? Yes. Just go on and toss it in with this shredded cabbage

There you go. So you walk in and you see Randy. Me and Jennifer Lopez

Oh, my gosh. When you just intimidated like you wouldn't believe. And Stephen Tyler

All right, now just stir that up good. I was last, so I said to them, since I'm last, can my family come in here

And they said yes. I remember that. I sang my mom and dad's song, which is I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Stephen

All right, give us like two lines. Okay. I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

Oh my goodness. Is that it? Well, no, we're just done with this

You know you go home and you tell Mama I let you make the chimichurri Step aside Mama Step aside I got a really good boyfriend right now so I decided that I was going to cook him Valentine dinner

And I made hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, and broccoli with cheese in them

And I did really good on the macaroni, the mashed potatoes, and the broccoli, and I burnt the meat pretty bad

You burnt the meat. How'd you burn it? See, I'm actually a really talented cook when it comes to meat because I didn't burn the outside

I burnt the inside. How did you burn the inside? Because I'm a terrible cook

But you got to learn some, Tom. Yes. Let me do this. I don't

Yes. I don't understand how you can burn something from the inside out

How'd you cook it? Well, he ate it and he said he liked it. Whether he did or not

Well, you know what? He was lucky to have you cook for him to start with

I tried. It's the thought that counts. It is certainly the thought that counts

And how was your boyfriend? He's 18. Did he give you a good Valentine's gift

He did. Is this good? Yes, that's beautiful. All right, so we're going to let those cook for about five to six minutes on each side, y'all

I just seasoned it very simply with salt, pepper, and a little Worcestershire sauce

So show me what he gave you, or do you have it with you? My daddy actually bought me this bracelet for Christmas and he got me this heart Oh I recognize that heart It like half a heart It says keep your heart open and love will find its way in Yes

He said that it meant something different to him because he had to push his way in there into my heart

Oh. How sweet. It sounds like he's a romantic. He is a super sweetheart

Go ahead and dip up our soup, Lauren. Look at these beautiful burgers

All right. So let's fix our burgers with whatever you want on it

Now, I always put mayonnaise on my burgers. Okay. And I'm going to let you fix yours the way you want to

I'm going to put some coleslaw on my burger. I like my burgers with mayonnaise and tomato

With mayonnaise and tomato. Okay. And I've also got a special sauce

Thank you. And some onion. So, what's in the special sauce? Well, it's, you know, that special sauce

It's a secret. No, special sauce is usually made up of mayonnaise

Thank you. And a little ketchup. All right, there you go. Have a big old bite

It's hard to get your mouth around. Look at that, y'all. Layers of coleslaw and that good old burger and that onion and tomato

and butter lettuce in a special sauce. Oh, my goodness. Mmm, mmm, mmm
