0:02
retired football player, Kris Jenkins.
0:05
Kris is like a big teddy bear.
0:08
♪ A-bye baby. ♪ (Kris laughs)
0:09
Now we're kicking it off
0:10
with my pimento cheeseburger sliders
0:13
and Kris shows me one of his game day favorites,
0:16
the option dog
0:17
and we wrap up this meal
0:19
with a roasted potato and fennel salad.
0:21
Then it's time we grab the food y'all,
0:23
and head outside to challenge Michael,
0:25
and the rest of the bunch to a little football.
0:28
- Hike! (all laughing)
0:30
- Touchdown!
0:31
(upbeat country music)
0:42
(gentle country music)
0:45
Together- - Excuse me,
0:46
has anybody seen Paula Deen?
0:49
How are you? - I'm all right,
0:51
I'm all right. - Can I tell you
0:53
how excited we all are?
0:56
Especially my mens.
0:59
They couldn't believe it when I told 'em
1:01
I was gonna throw a game party and you were coming.
1:04
- Yes, yes. - Yes!
1:06
Kris Jenkins y'all, (upbeat country music)
1:07
is a fairly recently retired NFL player.
1:11
When you stand next to one of these guys, you realize,
1:15
gosh, these are some really, really big guys.
1:19
I mean like his hand made two of mine
1:21
and it was fabulous, I felt so petite. (chuckles)
1:25
You and I have got some cooking to do.
1:27
- Well, thank you for having me.
1:28
I'm excited to be here.
1:29
- You ready? (laughs) - Yes.
1:31
(gentle music)
1:34
- I'm gonna make you the first dish, okay?
1:36
- Okay. - So are you in it to win it?
1:39
- You're the captain.
1:40
- Show me what you look like when you get excited.
1:43
- When I get excited?
1:44
This is excited.
1:45
(Paula laughs)
1:46
I got, I'm there, I'm there. - What position?
1:49
You're there? - Defensive tackle!
1:51
Love it, best position on the football field by far.
1:54
- Since today is all about game food,
1:57
I'm gonna make us a southern pimento cheese burger.
2:02
All right so we're gonna start with some ground beef
2:04
and if you'd pass me the salt and pepper,
2:08
we're just gonna season this meat.
2:10
While I'm doing this
2:11
would you mind mincing me up some onion?
2:14
- All right. - Maybe half that onion
2:15
and when I say minced that means smaller than diced.
2:19
- Okay, so just keep cutting until I either cut myself
2:23
or the board, right? - (laughs) Yes.
2:25
- Okay.
2:27
I know I'm not gonna get any star points
2:28
for cutting this, so...
2:30
- That's all right, just dice it up, mince it up.
2:33
All right so I'm just gonna get in here with my hands.
2:36
- See this could be a quarterback.
2:37
- (laughs) Yes.
2:39
How long have you been retired?
2:41
- For a couple of months.
2:42
- Now, who was the last team you played for?
2:45
- New York Jets.
2:47
- New York Jets? - Yes.
2:50
- And who was the quarterback on that team?
2:52
- Mark Sanchez.
2:54
You would like him.
2:55
- I would? - He's a very
2:56
dashing individual.
2:57
- How old a guy is he?
2:59
- He's a baby. - I could be a cougar?
3:01
- What you know about that?
3:02
- I'm a cougar already. (imitates cougar meow)
3:06
(both laughing) (upbeat music)
3:09
You've done perfect on that.
3:14
We just gonna take that and mix it up.
3:16
So I understand that your daddy counted on you to help.
3:22
- Yes, that was how I learned to cook.
3:24
- So he was a good cook?
3:27
- Yes he was.
3:29
He's wonderful on the grill,
3:31
but I'm better in the kitchen than he is.
3:33
- Oh you are.
3:37
- It's okay if I make mine a little bigger, right?
3:39
(Paula laughs) I know, I know.
3:42
It's just habit. - I noticed,
3:44
this is your first one
3:46
and this was my first one.
3:48
There's a sizable difference.
3:50
But I understand where you're coming from.
3:54
I raised two boys.
3:57
And I'm telling you what, honey,
3:59
it was like they walked around with hollow legs.
4:02
(Kris laughs)
4:03
For so, so long .
4:06
They appreciated their mama's cooking,
4:09
I'm checking you out, so you're not married.
4:11
- Yes, I am.
4:12
I'm in the dog house right now.
4:15
I was in a rush to get here
4:16
and I left my wedding ring on the sink and-
4:20
- What is her name? - Tasiha.
4:22
- Tasiha, hey girl, this is Paula.
4:26
Don't you worry about your man being here
4:28
without his wedding ring.
4:30
I will take good care of him and you have
4:33
nothing to worry about, okay? (Kris laughing)
4:36
(Paula laughs) - You're silly.
4:39
How you gonna try to- - So see, we took care of that
4:42
(both laughing)
4:45
Now I've got our pimento cheese.
4:47
(upbeat music)
4:48
I've got it already made up.
4:50
Pimento cheese is very big in the South.
4:53
Just dip. - Okay.
4:58
That's wonderful - Yes.
5:00
And this is one of the first things that I made
5:03
for the bag lady when I started my...
5:06
Look at him, he's getting excited.
5:08
- Yeah, I dance when I eat.
5:10
- Oh, get out. (claps) - No I do.
5:12
- So I'm hoping I'm gonna get to see you dance.
5:14
- You will.
5:15
- Alright, so let's start (upbeat music)
5:17
checking some of these out.
5:24
Look at that big ole burger down there.
5:25
He's sitting in kind of a cold spot.
5:27
- It's like a jumbo slider.
5:29
- It is gonna be a jumbo slider for a jumbo guy.
5:32
- All right.
5:33
Ah! (Paula laughs)
5:34
- All right, so I'm just gonna lightly toast these buns.
5:39
I've got our lettuce that I've already washed
5:42
and it's ready here.
5:44
And if you'll slice us up some onion.
5:47
I've got Mayonnaise.
5:50
I've got a little- - Did a good job
5:51
on the first cut!
5:52
Ah yes! - Yes of course.
5:56
I got some raw eggs.
5:58
- If we cook it
6:00
I'll put it on there (Paula laughs)
6:01
Not raw. - You want a egg on yours?
6:03
- Hey, I don't mind.
6:06
- Okay I love a fried egg on my burger
6:09
(upbeat music)
6:13
So here goes everything!
6:16
Some mayo, mustard, ketchup, pimento cheese,
6:22
A little onion.
6:24
A little pickle.
6:27
(laughs) Get it, baby.
6:29
(Kris laughs)
6:32
And some tomato.
6:34
That egg is talking back to...
6:36
Oh, Kris! - Don't tell anybody.
6:39
- Oh my goodness. (Kris laughs)
6:42
- Don't tell anybody. - I am so impressed.
6:48
Alright, looky here, (upbeat jazz music)
6:49
that is the big fat burger that's medium.
6:54
This is the kind of medium-well burger for me.
7:02
You have just cooked the perfect egg
7:04
All right, looky here.
7:06
- Oh my God. (Paula laughs)
7:08
- You loving it, ain't you? - Yes.
7:12
- You ready? - Okay, yes.
7:15
(Paula chuckles)
7:16
(slow applause)
7:20
(Paula laughs)
7:22
- Is it good?
7:27
- Cheers. - Cheers.
7:28
- Cheers, bon appetit.
7:32
- There you go.
7:39
(Kris laughs)
7:43
(Kris humming happily)
7:45
- [Paula] Coming up next, Kris is the QB on this dish.
7:49
- This is the fun part.
7:50
- [Paula] And what's a game day without my roasted potato
7:53
and fennel salad, and a little football?
7:55
- [Woman] Cover Paula!
8:00
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
8:02
And if you do.
8:04
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
8:07
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
8:11
And we'll be right back after the break.
8:16
(upbeat music)
8:20
- Yay!
8:21
It's game day.
8:23
I can't wait to see how we make this
8:25
hot dog, hamburger, bacon, egg sandwich
8:29
with a sweet and spicy kick.
8:31
What am I doing here?
8:32
- [Kris] We need to put some butter on there.
8:34
- [Paula] Now you want me to chop your herbs?
8:36
- Yes my herbs.
8:38
- And what all do you want me to chop and how much?
8:43
- I'd say about a tablespoon of each.
8:45
- Okay, and we've got basil. (gentle jazz music)
8:50
We have parsley and we've got some sage.
8:54
Are you an eyeball cook? - Yes, I am.
8:57
- Some people like formula cooking.
8:59
Some people like eyeball, I actually like both.
9:03
So here we go.
9:04
And I guess you want this minced up pretty good, don't ya?
9:07
Cause we gonna mix it in the butter?
9:09
- Yes. - All right so how much
9:11
of this butter do you want me to use to mix these herbs in?
9:16
- You use however much you would like.
9:18
- Okay, well I didn't know if you liked it real strong
9:22
or kind of strong.
9:24
- I like mine real strong.
9:26
I love things to be very flavorful.
9:28
- Hey, what are you doing?
9:29
Don't tear my bun apart! - Oh, you don't have to...
9:31
I wasn't gonna tear it all the way apart.
9:34
That was just for me.
9:35
I'm sorry. - Keep your hands off my bun.
9:37
- I'm just gonna go on this side then, all right fine.
9:39
- Then you can do your bun the way you want.
9:41
- Fine, okay.
9:42
Okay, sorry. - All right, so now...
9:44
- Sorry. (Paula laughs)
9:46
- So tell me, I'm gonna take this butter
9:48
and stir those herbs in it.
9:50
Is that right?
9:51
- Honestly, I just put the butter on the griddle
9:55
and then I just drizzle the herbs over it.
9:57
Cause we gotta save those bowls
9:59
for the separation of the eggs.
10:01
- Oh I'm so sorry. - Yes.
10:04
- See you've been unclear on my instructions Kris.
10:07
- Separation of the eggs, of course, I am a novice.
10:10
Cut me some slack. - You are not a novice.
10:13
- I mean, as far as you know, instructing people,
10:15
"This is a bowl and what you're supposed to do,
10:18
is take this and you use it for..."
10:20
- I didn't know you did Julia!
10:22
(Kris laughs)
10:25
- I think that's a staple of any cook,
10:27
you have to know how to do that voice.
10:29
- All right, now you was coming over here
10:31
and kind of touching my buns.
10:34
- I'm sorry.
10:35
I sprinkle the herbs across... - Across.
10:37
- But I thought this one was my recipe!
10:39
- Oh that's right! - So can you try it my way
10:41
just once?
10:42
Man, come on Paula! (Paula laughs)
10:46
- Okay, cry baby. - Just click off.
10:47
- Oh I'm a cry baby now, okay. (Paula laughs)
10:51
- [Paula] Okay, darling.
10:54
I got you.
10:58
- I'm gonna let you do the honors
10:59
of placing the hot dogs in.
11:01
- I will put our hot dogs down into our water.
11:06
Are these all beef dogs? - Yes.
11:10
The next thing we have to do (gentle music)
11:11
now is separate the egg white with the shell
11:15
I love doing this.
11:16
- You do? - Yes I do.
11:19
- Your hands are so big! (laughs)
11:21
And that little bitty egg,
11:23
- But I do it pretty well
11:25
don't you think? - You do it very well.
11:26
- Thank you.
11:27
Okay, we need a serving platter.
11:29
- Here you go.
11:31
- I'll hold it for you.
11:31
We just have to get these off.
11:33
- Oh, okay.
11:36
These are beautiful.
11:38
I love all the herbs on 'em.
11:40
- This is the fun part. - It is?
11:43
- Yes.
11:43
We get to put peach preserves and spread them over.
11:51
- Is that enough to suit you right there?
11:54
- Yes. Yes!
11:55
- Okay, I want to please Mr. Kris Jenkins.
11:59
- I put grape seed oil in.
12:01
I love to cook with grape seed oil.
12:03
I just think that it has just a smoother consistency
12:06
than olive oil, and then I'll put-
12:08
- Absolutely! - Yes.
12:12
All right, so I don't know if you like spices,
12:14
but I love spices.
12:15
- I can take a little heat.
12:18
I mean, I don't like for it to hurt me.
12:20
- You just sprinkle however much you want-
12:21
- On the bread? - On yours.
12:24
Cause then I'll show you how much I like to put on mine.
12:27
- I'm a sissy. - Well, there you go.
12:29
- That's mine. - Okay.
12:31
- That is a lot of chili powder, Kris.
12:34
- I am a spice lover
12:37
so I have to put a little bit more on there.
12:41
We're going to put the cheese on.
12:43
(upbeat music)
12:46
- When do I need to take the bacon out of the oven?
12:48
- I think you can take the bacon out
12:50
the oven now if you would like.
12:54
- I don't know at which point.
12:58
(Paula chuckles) - That's perfect.
13:02
- So we gonna put the hot egg white-
13:04
- You can put the bacon strips on one side.
13:06
Yes, I guess the hotdogs are ready.
13:09
- [Both] Ohh!
13:12
(Kris laughs)
13:13
- [Paula] That's a big dog.
13:15
(lively jazz music)
13:17
- Well this is the final touch.
13:20
Just on the sides. - Sweet Camille.
13:23
- Yes, it's so pretty!
13:26
It's so pretty! (Paula laughs)
13:27
- You got that pretty right!
13:30
Touchdown. (laughs)
13:32
- Touchdown me, I told you.
13:33
You gotta believe in me Paula,
13:34
you gotta believe in me. - I believe in you baby.
13:37
(upbeat music) Alright, come on over here.
13:39
- More eating. - I'm going in.
13:42
You want a knife and fork?
13:45
I don't.
13:52
Mm! - So it's okay huh?
13:55
- It's sinful.
13:56
- I'm glad you like it. (claps)
13:58
- Out of this world.
13:59
You know, you'd never think...
14:01
I've never had a hamburger hotdog sandwich.
14:04
- I'm enjoying watching you eat.
14:06
(Paula laughs)
14:07
I made Paula blush on the first try.
14:10
On the first try!
14:15
Yes! (laughs)
14:18
(claps)
14:20
- That is so good
14:22
I'm glad you like.
14:23
- Mm!
14:24
Dig in!
14:26
- I'm going too.
14:30
- Great time of day, what a mouth!
14:32
(both laughing)
14:36
Look at that perfect egg. (gentle music)
14:39
We cannot eat like this every day, Kris.
14:41
- Well, this a special occasion.
14:43
I'll say once every couple of months.
14:45
- It's a Sunday food, isn't it?
14:47
- Yes, a special occasion.
14:49
- I love sweet and savory.
14:50
I adore sweet and savory.
14:52
- This is making my day. - You're so stinkin' cute!
14:55
- Thank you.
14:56
- Coming up next, Kris and I whip up
14:58
a scrumptious potato salad.
15:00
You're like an artiste.
15:02
And are ya ready for some football?
15:05
It's the glam squad versus Kris and me
15:12
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
15:14
and I want to hear from you.
15:16
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
15:19

15:22
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
15:27
(upbeat music)
15:32
♪ Rock-A-bye baby ♪ (Kris laughs)
15:34
♪ In the treetop ♪
15:37
Oh my God, I can't top that optional dog.
15:41
- I'm pretty sure you can.
15:43
I'm glad I got enough time to let my food settle.
15:47
- Well, you know what? (gentle music)
15:48
Wouldn't be a tailgate without potato salad.
15:51
So Kris, we are gonna cut our potatoes, gonna cube 'em up.
15:56
I'm gonna slice up our fennel.
15:58
We're gonna put this on a cookie sheet
16:02
and we're gonna roast 'em.
16:03
And then after they're done,
16:05
we're gonna put together a yummy potato salad.
16:07
- Okay.
16:09
- Now you said it's just been like weeks or months
16:12
since you've retired. - A couple months, yes.
16:14
- So what do you plan to do?
16:16
Are you gonna retire completely.
16:18
- I think I will do a little bit of broadcasting.
16:22
- You certainly know football. (upbeat music)
16:26
Now tell me what that smells like.
16:28
- Smells like licorice.
16:29
- Yes!
16:31
It's gonna be so good.
16:32
Now I'm just gonna slice this up.
16:34
If you would get our pan back there.
16:36
We've got it lined with tin foil.
16:39
- [Kris] Where do you want me to place it?
16:40
- Just right here, darling.
16:42
Start putting your taters on.
16:45
And you know what?
16:45
Before we do that, let me just give it a spray.
16:51
Let me just give that a quick spray
16:53
so they won't stick too bad.
16:56
Now we're just gonna spread those out.
16:58
Just like that. (chuckles)
17:02
There goes our fennel. (upbeat country music)
17:07
Now we're gonna need a little olive oil
17:09
and I'm just gonna drizzle that over there.
17:13
Then we're gonna need to salt and pepper.
17:16
Yes, thank you. (Kris laughs)
17:18
- You're welcome.
17:20
- Alright, there we go.
17:21
Now I'm just gonna kind of do it like that.
17:24
Make sure every one of those taters get a little wetness.
17:28
All right, we're just gonna lay those out in a single file.
17:31
We're gonna put this in a 425 degree oven at 25 minutes.
17:36
(low country music) So if you would do the honors
17:39
while I wash my hands.
17:41
- All right, all right. - In the oven they go.
17:44
(water rushing) There ya go!
17:50
I like that squat you just did.
17:52
- Oh my squat, I told you my knees
17:54
they still work. - Good squat.
17:55
- They still work.
17:56
- All right.
17:57

18:01

18:34
- Let's get these potatoes out.
18:37
- Taters! - Taters!
18:39
You know, a potato is my favorite food.
18:41
- It is? - What's your favorite food?
18:44
If you just had one food to choose?
18:46
- I would say pasta.
18:48
- You like macaroni and cheese?
18:49
- Oh I love it.
18:50
- All right, we need to get started on
18:51
the dressing for our potatoes.
18:53
Now I've got some chives here.
18:55
If you would give me about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
19:00
let's just scrape these potatoes
19:02
and that wonderful roasted fennel.
19:04
Put a little salt and pepper in that
19:06
and I'm gonna just cut us up, just a little parsley.
19:11
Look at the man go. - Some parsley!
19:14
- All right, now just kind of fold it in.
19:17
Let me show you what fold means.
19:19
Fold means going down and over
19:22
and your folding those ingredients together.
19:25
- Oh, so going outside and up and over,
19:29
is different than going inside and up and over?
19:31
- Yeah. - Okay, so I'm sorry.
19:33
- That's good.
19:34
I love warm potato salad.
19:37
Look at you go baby. - I'm trying to make it-
19:39
- You're like an artiste.
19:41
Well, what do you say let's go out and challenge my friends
19:45
to a little football? (upbeat music)
19:46
If you would grab the option dogs,
19:49
the pimento cheese sliders
19:53
and I'll take the potato salad.
19:55
And let's go see what our crews doing.
19:59
Football time!
20:00
You know, I was a head cheerleader in high school?
20:03
Kris, I can't wait for you to meet my boys.
20:05
(upbeat rock music) Hey guys!
20:08
- We got all the food ready!
20:10

20:14
We got up a football game in the backyard y'all.
20:16
Team glamour.
20:18

20:21
and Jamie.
20:22
And I guess that Michael was on Team glamour. (laughs)
20:29
Against team Kris and Paula.
20:32
Well yeah, I was feeling pretty cocky.
20:36
I'm gonna say hike and then I'm just hand you the ball
20:38

20:40

20:41

20:48
