Ah, the classic Wedge Salad, made famous at steakhouses worldwide. There’s a reason why it’s classic too. The marriage of crisp iceberg lettuce and creamy blue cheese dressing topped with smokey bacon is downright drool-inducing. Add some avocado and this salad might be darn near perfect.

There’s not a whole lot that can go wrong with the rich taste of bacon perfumed by a bubbling New Castle ale. Throw in some fresh mussels and you’ve got yourself a party. Sam gives you a few tips on how to check for bad ones and how to clean them too. And trust me, once you smell this dish, you’ll be wondering why they don’t make mussels, bacon, & beer air fresheners for your house.

It’s been another fun week of livecasts everyone. Thanks for tuning in and making us the greatest live cooking show on earth. Tonight Sam makes an dense and flavor-packed frittata featuring our friend “ready bacon”. You owe it to yourself to try it out on dishes like this where it saves you time and a messy pan too. Top this frittata with sour cream and salsa and you got yourself a killer breakfast.

What happens when you ask your fans what they want to see in the dish tonight? We asked the Livecast nation to pick and we ended up with pizza dough, mushrooms, cheetos, shrimp, and bacon. If you’re scratching your head about what good could possibly come out of that, Sam did too. Tune in to see what he ended up with.

Its our Friday (your Thursday) and things were back to normal in the Livecast world. Steve was gone for the night so we had Shannon (who shoots Sam’s TV show) fill in and she did a great job. After starting the show with a cocktail we dove right into some talk about the crew. We then took a whole bunch of viewer questions, saw a crazy dude on the internet eat a live scorpion, and finally closed with Sam’s bacon-wrapped scallops. We’re back on Monday with more fun so have a great weekend, cook something new, and tell your friends about the show! Later people.
