Sup Livecasters. Today we make a gin and grapefruit cocktail, talk food and behind-the-scenes NFL stuff with our very own #83 Vincent Jackson. Learn about Vincent’s favorite foods, his on-the-road eats, and what he likes to cook. Then to end our segment, we make artichokes with two awesome dipping sauces: a mayo/mustard/curry sauce and a chipotle butter sauce.

Here’s our Memorial Day show folks. Everyone at The Sam Livecast would like to thank those who serve our great country on a daily basis. Your tireless efforts ensure our freedom and we are in awe of your sacrifice.

Tonight’s show we have Don Smith, head of product development at the Crestone Group. You want to know what it takes to bake thousands of items for big name restaurant chains everywhere? Don’t miss this. Also Sam starts the livecast with a crazy good Tequila Sunrise cocktail and finishes up with a simple and light (but really tasty) tomato-basil pasta. You have no idea how great the kitchen smelled when the garlic and tomatoes were in the oven.

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow (Tuesday, May 31, 2011) because we have the San Diego Chargers’ #83: Vincent Jackson. Wow, we can’t wait. Are you going to be here?
