0:00
(upbeat music plays) - Huh?
0:04
- Need somethin'? - As usual.
0:05
Hey, y'all, welcome back.
0:06
Welcome to The Chicken Box.
0:08
Jo, tell the people hey. - Hey, y'all.
0:10
Welcome to The Chicken Box.
0:11
- [Jamie] Come on in; I got somethin'
0:12
I'm gonna show you today.
0:16
Yes, it's Halloweenish.
0:18
Yes, there's college football.
0:21
But I don't care; I love the taste of summer,
0:23
and you can enjoy the taste of summer all year long.
0:26
Today, where we're gonna find our summer,
0:30
Look at these cute little cucumbers.
0:32
So, I've got everything put together
0:33
for you here in the bowl.
0:35
Here, The Bag Lady and I run side salads
0:36
pretty much every day.
0:37
I just did potato salad.
0:39
Today, I'm doing broccoli salad.
0:42
I made coleslaw for today,
0:45
and I'm doing this, so I have three side salads today
0:47
that I'm offering to The Bag Lady.
0:49
Yeah, we do all different kinds.
0:50
But like I said, summer is a long season in Savannah,
0:54
so it's still in the 80 degrees,
0:55
so I'm still eating cucumber salad.
0:57
Look, y'all, it's so simple.
0:59
I got my little English cukes that I love to use,
1:02
and I buy the tri-colored tomatoes.
1:05
You know me, I love color.
1:06
Look, yellow, orange, red, gorgeous.
1:09
This deep maroon color, purple onions, and sweet peppers.
1:13
This is not anything that's too spicy that you can't eat.
1:17
It gives crunch, and it also gives
1:19
such a awesome texture and flavor.
1:22
Look how easy this is.
1:24
I'm gonna go right in here with all
1:26
of our ingredients. (ingredients clink in bowl)
1:28
It's important that I find things here
1:30
that not only people like to eat,
1:32
but production-wise, it's not completely uphill for me.
1:36
We do everything fresh made every single morning.
1:40
So, by the time my wife and I get our three kids off,
1:43
and I get down here, sometimes I only have an hour
1:45
to get my cooler full.
1:47
So, this is a perfect salad for me.
1:50
I've got some white wine vinegar.
1:53
(lid creaks) This is just like the salads
1:55
that my aunt Peggy and
1:56
my mother always made. (vinegar sloshes)
1:59
The only thing I'm gonna do different,
2:01
I really don't want a bunch of oil in mine,
2:04
and great-great would do vinegar and oil in hers,
2:06
(bowl scrapes counter) but this little bit of vinegar
2:09
on these summer vegetables, oh, so good.
2:12
Add a little bit of black pepper,
2:14
just exactly what I like
2:15
to eat on my tomatoes. (salt whooshes)
2:17
A little bit of black pepper. (grinder clicks)
2:22
And I've got a little bit of Jane's Krazy Salt
2:26
that I'm gonna put on here.
2:28
I tell ya, mama makes a good seasoning salt,
2:30
but I've been using that for a very long time.
2:34
All you need is just enough
2:37
liquid to cover these. (spatula clicks against bowl)
2:40
It's gonna permeate all this flavor,
2:42
and I'll make sure and get 'em--
2:43
(spatula clangs on bowl) - Ooh, that's strong vinegar.
2:44
- [Jamie] It is strong, isn't it?
2:46
Well, that's why you use it for picklin'.
2:49
Cooking's not for the faint of heart, Theresa.
2:51
(spatula clangs on bowl)
2:53
If you can't stand the smell of the vinegar,
2:55
then get outta my kitchen. (Theresa laughs)
2:57
I want you to see how pretty this is.
3:06
- Beautiful, right? (plastic lid clicks)
3:08
It took me about maybe 10 minutes to prep this up.
3:14
The simple flavors sometimes are the best flavors.
3:21
turn off your computer, get in your car,
3:22
drive down here to The Chicken Box,
3:24
and eat some cucumber salad.
3:27
Yeah, this is The Chicken Box.
3:28
I'll see y'all around the kitchen.
3:33
