- Hey, y'all. You're in for a rocking good time,
0:03
because my friend, American Idol winner Taylor Hicks
0:07
is stopping by.
0:08
Taylor Hicks is the cutest boy I had ever seen.
0:12
And he's all about roadhouse tunes.
0:16
- ♪ Sinking down on the delta... ♪
0:20
- And roadhouse food.
0:22
So I'm going to be making him a ham and cheese turnover,
0:25
a loaded cheeseburger pizza,
0:27
and Taylor is frying up
0:29
his restaurant signature crawfish rolls.
0:32
And what's more roadhouse than a little poker game?
0:36
I'm so going to try to take that little sucker's money.
0:39
So I'm inviting my friends
0:40
over for some five card draw, y'all.
0:43
- ♪ She's not mean, she's Miss Paula Deen. ♪
0:46
(Paula laughs)
0:48
(theme music playing)
0:58
(acoustic guitar strumming)
1:03
(knocks on door)
1:04
- Come in.
1:07
- Hey, Paula.
1:08
- Taylor.
1:11
How're you doing?
1:12
- I hear you're having a party.
1:14
- I am having a party.
1:15
- Am I invited?
1:16
- You're so invited.
1:18
I met Taylor in Birmingham, Alabama.
1:21
I was there to bring food to the food bank.
1:25
And Taylor was one of the guests.
1:27
So I had the opportunity at that point to directly say,
1:32
"Taylor, would you come be on my show with me?"
1:34
You brought your guitar.
1:36
- I brought my guitar, I brought some harmonicas.
1:37
We're going to have fun.
1:38
- Then why don't we go on to the kitchen
1:40
and start making music with our food?
1:43
Because I've got so much to talk to you about.
1:46
When he first came on American Idol, oh my goodness,
1:51
I just prayed that he would dance.
1:53
I didn't miss a show just to watch Taylor.
1:57
- What are you making? Let's make something.
1:59
- I'm going to make us just a quick little appetizer,
2:02
little ham and cheese turnovers.
2:04
And if you would,
2:06
I need about a third of a cup of onions
2:09
and we're going to saute them in a little butter.
2:12
So if you don't mind doing that for me.
2:15
- I'm going to come down here
2:16
and I'm going to cut the cheese.
2:18
- Okay.
2:19
(Paula laughs)
2:20
I'm just wanted to see if you was awake.
2:24
No, I'm going to grate the cheese.
2:27
- All right, let's do that.
2:28
- And I'm going to take out
2:30
some refrigerated pie crust right here.
2:33
I've got Gruyère cheese and I've got mozzarella.
2:38
- Paula Deen's ham and cheese turnovers.
2:40
I'm so excited to be here.
2:43
There's not a lot of times
2:45
when you're on a tour bus,
2:47
and you're out on the road,
2:48
you don't get that same kind of love
2:52
as you do when you're in a kitchen.
2:55
You put a lot of love into it.
2:57
And I like to do that with my music.
2:59
- I'm so glad. And let me tell you something.
3:02
It showed honey.
3:03
- Well, I appreciate that.
3:05
(upbeat music playing)
3:09
- Okay, if you throw those in the pan
3:11
with a tablespoon of butter.
3:14
So my confession to you is:
3:16
Michael and I got hooked on American Idol.
3:20
So I told Michael, "We have got to vote for Taylor."
3:24
- People said, "Well, I voted for you."
3:27
And I look at them, and I say,
3:28
"You never know, you could have been my one swing vote."
3:32
Because it was close.
3:34
- American Idol is what you see is what you get, right?
3:37
- It made me have to really work hard
3:39
at singing and performing.
3:43
What's that?
3:43
What did you say that was, again?
3:44
- This is just a refrigerated pie crust.
3:47
If you don't have time to make you a pie crust.
3:50
- Yeah, what do you think about those?
3:51
- It's always good, tender.
3:53
- Because, you know my grandmother tried to make pie crust
3:56
for Thanksgiving, and Christmas and stuff.
3:58
We'd have to just break the news to her
4:00
that sometimes her pie crust just didn't turn out right.
4:04
- It wasn't all that great?
4:06
I don't feel guilty at all using this.
4:09
I think they're delicious.
4:10
Now I'm going to take these two,
4:12
I'm going to make a double crust.
4:14
Before I do that, I've got us a little ham,
4:17
and I'm just using a deli ham.
4:21
I'm going to chop that.
4:22
(grooving music playing)
4:27
Taylor, how old were you
4:28
when you started singing and performing?
4:30
- Three or four I started singing.
4:32
- Yes. Who was your audience at that age?
4:35
- Probably grandparents.
4:37
- [Paula] Okay, so family.
4:38
- Family. Then it started in school talent shows
4:42
then it became bars and clubs.
4:46
I played pretty good blues harmonica back then.
4:49
I got it.
4:50
(Taylor plays harmonica)
4:58
It's a handy... I tell you, this instrument,
5:00
you can take it any...
5:01
- How many chicks has that picked you up, baby?
5:03
(drum beat playing)
5:08
Just beat me up an egg right in there, baby.
5:11
All right, now we're going put half the cheese there.
5:16
A little ham.
5:17
- So these are like little pigs in blankets,
5:21
but with pie crust.
5:25
- Kind of. They're more like ham and cheese biscuits.
5:29
- There you go.
5:30
Whatever it is, I'm going to eat it.
5:33
- I promise you'll like it.
5:35
And just a few onions.
5:37
All right, now what we're going to do with that egg
5:39
is we're going to come around here just like that.
5:42
And we're going to make a seal so it will stick,
5:45
so none of our goodness will come out of it.
5:49
Just like everything else I do, I overstuff it.
5:53
That's all right, we're just going to poke it back in there.
5:55
And then what I'd like for you to do
5:57
is take the tine of this fork,
6:01
stick it in your flour,
6:03
and just come around just like that.
6:05
(blues music playing)
6:12
When we were in Birmingham,
6:13
you were just starting to tell me.
6:15
You looked at me with those beautiful eyes, and you said,
6:19
"Paula, I want to be in the restaurant business."
6:23
- The place that I open is called Ore...
6:26
- Ore?
6:27
- Drink and Dine.
6:29
- O-R-E. Like iron ore.
6:30
- Oh, okay.
6:31
- Because the city, Birmingham, where I'm from
6:33
was founded upon iron ore.
6:35
And a lot of the steel industry
6:37
was in Birmingham, Alabama.
6:39
So I used to play in this little place,
6:41
in a little strip mall.
6:43
- There in Birmingham.
6:44
- In Birmingham, Alabama.
6:45
And I just thought to myself, "One day if I make it,
6:48
I'm going to own this little restaurant.
6:49
And then I'm going to make some great food
6:51
and I'm going to serve some great drinks."
6:52
And look what happened.
6:54
I got blessed with the opportunity to go back in there
6:57
and open a restaurant.
6:58
- You do not mean it.
6:59
You have opened a restaurant where you played as a kid?
7:02
- Yep. Where I used to play for years.
7:06
- I think we've got enough turnovers.
7:08
- I don't think we ought to... Did you just...
7:10
- Are you eating that raw?
7:14
Great time of day.
7:15
I got to get this boy fed.
7:17
All right, let's put those in the oven. Please hon.
7:20
We're going to put them in a 375 oven
7:22
for about 12 to 15 minutes.
7:27
Coming up next:
7:28
I'm fixing Taylor my loaded cheeseburger pizza.
7:32
And then he's sharing his signature crawfish rolls.
7:36
Just perfect, my hand of poker.
7:38
- ♪ Cook it up, we're going to have some crawfish rolls. ♪
7:43

7:59
(theme music playing)
8:04
- Bring your cute little tater patch over here,
8:07
and get out our little turnovers.
8:09
- Now let me ask you something.
8:11
What do you consider a potato patch?
8:14
- Tater patch?
8:15
- Tater patch.
8:16
- It's just like your whole body.
8:17
- Mm-hmm (affirmative)
8:19
- Your whole body, tater patch.
8:21
It can be your hiney, too.
8:23
- That's what I was thinking you were saying.
8:24
- Oh, you thought I was calling you hiney?
8:26
I'm going to give you a plate,
8:30
and let you be munching on these.
8:33
Whoa, now hot.
8:35
- I'm hungry.
8:36
- I'm going to let them cool a little bit.
8:38
We got a pie crust in the oven over there.
8:41
I've cooked it at 450 for five minutes.
8:45
I'm going to cut on our heat.
8:49
Right over there, baby. I put it in the big oven.
8:53
So I'm going to slice us some onions,
8:56
because I'm making us a cheeseburger pizza.
8:59
All right, if you would take a red bell pepper
9:02
and a green bell pepper, just give me rings, please.
9:05
Whoa. Excuse me, Taylor.
9:09
Taylor. All right, come on, you fess up to me.
9:13
- I'm not the greatest...
9:14
- No, you look me in the eye.
9:16
How much cooking do you really do?
9:19
- None.
9:20
(Paula laughs)
9:23
How do you cut a ring?
9:26
- Well, we're just going to cut those tips off,
9:29
and get it deep enough where we can get that ring.
9:33
Can Taylor Hicks cook?
9:36
Sorry, Taylor. You cook in other ways, baby.
9:40
(Paula laughs)
9:43
So we're just going to saute our vegetables.
9:46
All right, so how long have you had the restaurant now?
9:49
- Well, Ore's been open for about a year or so,
9:52
and I've enjoyed creating a menu, too.
9:55
- All right, that's what I want to hear about.
9:57
I want to hear about your menu.
9:58
- Well, we have a southern eclectic menu
10:02
where we do fresh seafood from the gulf.
10:06
- Do you ever perform there?
10:07
- I do. I do.
10:09
I show up with a guitar,
10:10
and I set up and play in the corner.
10:12
- No.
10:13
- And that's something that I could do...
10:15
- That thrills people out of their gourd, right?
10:18
- They do. Yeah, they enjoy that surprise aspect.
10:22
(guitar riff playing)
10:29
- All right, so Taylor,
10:31
we're going to take these out of our skillet.
10:35
If you would grate us some cheese, please.
10:39
I'm going to put you to work.
10:42
All right, here we go.
10:44
So, while you're grating the mozzarella,
10:46
I'm going to crumble up the ground beef.
10:49
(upbeat acoustic music playing)
10:57
Now Taylor, we're doing a cheeseburger pizza.
11:03
- How much cheese do I...?
11:05
- Well, I like a lot of cheese on my pizza.
11:07
How about you, dumpling?
11:09
Now look at that nice mustard base on that pizza.
11:15
All right, look over here.
11:16
Now, I'm not going to cook this totally done,
11:20
because this'll finish cooking on that pizza in the oven.
11:26
Taylor, look. I ain't even made the dipping sauce,
11:30
and we're down to four.
11:32
- We're going to be down to zero and a little bit.
11:35
- See, if I don't quit talking and hurry.
11:37
- If you don't quit talking and cooking,
11:39
I'm going to eat all those things.
11:41
- All right, Taylor, I'm going to lay down
11:43
a layer of provolone cheese,
11:45
and a layer of our sauteed veggies.
11:48
Come on over here.
11:49
Just help me put these rings out.
11:53
Want to evenly distribute the colors, right?
11:58
- Yeah.
11:59
- [Paula] Yeah.
12:00
- Yes ma'am. I am hungry, by the way.
12:04
- I kind of noticed that, too.
12:07
(upbeat acoustic music playing)
12:17
Let's put that in the oven.
12:19
The big oven. 450 for about 10 minutes.
12:23
- I get nervous in this kitchen.
12:24
(Paula laughing)
12:27
- Coming up next:
12:29
Taylor serenades me with a signature recipe
12:32
from his restaurant, crawfish rolls.
12:35
- ♪ Put that in a bowl and cool it. ♪
12:38
- But can he make it?
12:39
What have you done?
12:46
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
12:48
and I want to hear from you.
12:50
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
12:53
make by just leaving a short comment below.
12:57
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
13:01
(theme music playing)
13:05
You want to get the pizza out of the oven?
13:07
- Yep.
13:07
- Because I know you're starving.
13:09
- Yes ma'am.
13:11
- [Paula] I know that you're starving.
13:12
Where are we going to put it?
13:16
You want to put it right here?
13:17
What do you think?
13:19
Put it right there, Taylor.
13:21
You want to try it?
13:21
- [Taylor] Yeah, I would love to. Give me the mitt.
13:24
- Here you go.
13:26
Come on up here, and I'll get in the light so I can see it.
13:32
Okay, yeah. Help me baby. Help me.
13:39
Why did I bother getting a plate out?
13:42
- You knew I was going to go.
13:45
- Why did I bother with the plate?
13:48
- Mm-hmm (affirmative).
13:55
- Isn't that yummy?
13:58
You get it?
14:00
What do you think of the mustard?
14:02
- I think it ties everything together.
14:04
- It makes it taste like a cheeseburger, doesn't it?
14:06
- Mm-hmm (affirmative).
14:07
- All right, now I've been waiting.
14:08
This is one of those signature items at your restaurant Ore.
14:13
- Handmade, fresh daily crawfish rolls.
14:16
- I cannot wait to taste.
14:18
I see you got a pepper up here.
14:20
- Pepper.
14:21
- I see you got a scallion.
14:22
See you got some garlic.
14:23
- Start chopping.
14:25
- Okay. You are going to put me to work.
14:29
- Well, cooking for Paula Deen is going to be very tough.
14:32
I mean, that's a very scary thing to do.
14:35
So I am pretty nervous about it,
14:37
but I think hopefully she'll like
14:38
the spring roll I'm cooking.
14:40
- Oh my goodness, he's going to use the butter, y'all.
14:42
- You know if I'm here at Paula Deen's house...
14:44
- Hallelujah.
14:45
- I'm going to do some butter.
14:46
- Hallelujah.
14:51
Now I'm going to cut that fire down,
14:53
because you're going to get hot
14:55
quicker than I can get chopped.
14:58
I tell you what, I know you got to have that egg.
15:01
So why don't you crack that,
15:05
and kind of beat that.
15:06
- People eat these things up at Ore.
15:08
Paula, I'm going to get you to chop some of these crawfish.
15:10
- Okay. All right, I'm about to get caught up.
15:14
So all I need to do is dice up your shallot,
15:19
and I'll have that ready in a second.
15:23
(upbeat acoustic music playing)
15:29
I got a couple of cloves of garlic.
15:32
So there's your garlic.
15:33
- [Taylor] Garlic. Some chopped garlic.
15:34
- Do you know, I almost like crawfish
15:37
equally as well as I like shrimp? Almost a little better.
15:40
They've got such a hard hitting flavor.
15:45
- Once you start getting this going,
15:46
obviously you want to have some...
15:48
- Oh yeah. About a tablespoon of that crab boil seasoning.
15:54
(Taylor begins strumming guitar)
15:55
Oh my god.
15:57

17:02
Does it get any better? No.
17:05
All right, now you showed me that you can rock.
17:08
You want to show me that you can roll?
17:11
- Rock and roll is my middle name, baby.
17:13
- Oh my god, you sounded like Elvis when you said that.
17:16
All right, now I kind of packed mine in good, Taylor.
17:19
- [Taylor] Now this is going to be funny.
17:21
- Oh, it is?
17:22
- Yeah.
17:22
- Real funny?
17:24
Now see, I took that...
17:25
- I might be creative and make my own.
17:27
- Well, good. You do whatever makes you feel good.
17:30
I packed mine down, and now I'm going to take my eggs...
17:35
- That does keep everything...
17:37
- Yes. And we're go use our little rolls,
17:40
our little Asian...
17:41
- We're going to use our little spring rolls, here.
17:43
- Spring rolls.
17:44
All right. Do yours look anything like that
17:47
at the restaurant?
17:48
- [Taylor] They do.
17:49
- All right, let me see this, honey.
17:51
- Let me think about this here.
17:56
- What have you done?
18:00
- Look.
18:02
- It's beautiful.
18:04
Now we can let them cook for about five to six minutes.
18:11
Do you know what I got planned for us?
18:12
- What's that?
18:14
- A little poker game.
18:15
- Okay.
18:16
- Will you sing to me?
18:17
Taylor, please tell me you're going to dance for me.
18:19
- ♪ Your cheating heart... ♪
18:22
- I ain't cheating on you, baby.
18:24
Coming up next:
18:24
We finish up Taylor's delicious crawfish rolls.
18:27
And then the gang arrives for a little roadhouse poker.
18:30
Trips win.
18:31
(Corrie cheering)
18:35

18:38

(theme music playing)
18:55
All right, tell me what you think of these.
18:57
- [Taylor] That's perfect.
18:57
- [Paula] I mean that's dark enough to suit you?
18:59
- Yes, sir. Yes ma'am.
19:00
- That looks just like...
19:02
Yeah, don't call me "sir".
19:04
- No ma'am.
19:08
- All right. It looks just like an Asian egg roll.
19:12
Taylor honey, I hope you're ready for some poker.
19:17
So I had a reason for selecting
19:20
the dishes that we were going to prepare
19:21
because I had made plans for us
19:24
to all sit down and play poker.
19:27
Y'all we're going to play five card draw.
19:30
So a pair of deuces is good.
19:33
An Ace/King is good.
19:35
- What's a deuce?
19:36
- Okay. A deuce is a two...
19:38
- I didn't know what a deuce was, either.
19:40
- That's why we did things that you could eat
19:42
with one hand, because I needed to spread my cards
19:47
with the other.
19:50
Corrie bets five.
19:52
$10 to you, Jimmy Cribs
19:55
- I'm going to bet, and then raise one.
19:57
- I will take the raise, and then raise a 10.
20:00
- So 20 to you, baby.
20:02
- I'm going to fold
20:02
and eat one of those ham and cheese turnovers.
20:05
- I never doubted that.
20:06
(Paula laughs)
20:10
- They're so flaky.
20:11
(group speaks at once)
20:13
You like those the best?
20:15
- Hey, easy. Don't eat those...
20:18
What are you doing?
20:19
- Yum.
20:20
- Those are good.
20:21
- What did y'all have?
20:22
- [Brandon] I had two twos,
20:23
a five, a six, and an eight. And a queen.
20:26
- Well, I'm just ace high.
20:27
- She's got three of kind, she...
20:29
- Almost a straight.
20:30
Way to go, Corrie. Trips win.
20:33
(Corrie cheers)
20:36
- Give money. Show me the money.
20:40
- [Male Poker Player] Come and get it, Corrie.
20:41
- Y'all, I am having so much fun.
20:45
- [Joe] Might be in Colorado.
20:46
- I'm having so much fun, but Taylor...
20:49
Oh my god. I've got to hear him sing.
20:51
Please dance for me.
20:54
- ♪ Well, sometimes I get lonely. ♪
20:57
♪ And that's a hard thing to say, yeah. ♪
21:01
♪ Well, to wind up in the wrong side of Mississippi, ♪
21:06
♪ A little more than a getaway. ♪
21:09
- Taylor Hicks can sing like you wouldn't believe.
21:14
- ♪ I hope someone is there to care about me. ♪
21:22
♪ I'm going to tear this whole place down ♪
21:24
♪ and I'll be on my way. ♪
21:28
- Please dance.
21:29
(group cheers)
21:31
- Dance, come on. Do it, Taylor. Do it.
21:33
Get over there and do that dance.
21:37
