Big Daddy – Love

Food Network On Demand

Aaron McCargo, a Food Network Star winner (these things I know!) is making something for his lady love (um, okay Lou Rawls) so that sounds like a perfect place to poach a recipe. Parsnips? Hmm...mashed parsnips with marscapone cheese. Why wouldn't you just mash potatoes? Parsnips are ugly and they don't sound like they'd go over well with the very particular BF who goes way back with potatoes. Way back. Let's move on to the veal chops.

He's chopping some peppers telling us a special story about his great mom (aww) and then I realize he's cooking this for his mom who is his lady love? I'm confused but then I have an AHA! moment and when I recover I realize he's mixing prosciutto and cheese together for the veal. I've already gotta modify or cancel as I don't eat pork but I feel like I've gone too far to stop watching now. I like that he's not as chatty as that Sunny and he's not repeating himself either. You know why? Because the judges have already put him through the ringer from the Next Food Network Star contest. I watched. I'm proud.
