Big Daddy was reminiscing about his days working as an executive chef at the Steakhouse.So he decided to put together a frenzy of dishes and drinks for his ol' steakhouse pals.
Chef started the day by preparing his rubs for his Oven-roasted Prime Rib and prepping up his potatoes for his Garlic Cheese Mashed Potatoes dish.
Once he had the potatoes boiling, Chef put his teacher's hat on and schooled his students on the different aspects of the meat and techniques for preparing it.
He then started seasoning the gorgeous loaf with his rub and dressed it with some Worcestershire sauce before he popped it on a pan to help sear the meat on several sides.
Chef then used a couple of the potatoes to help prop up the rib in the pan to help develop an even sear across all sides - gotta love all those neat little tricks the chef has up his sleeve. He then placed the seared Prime Rib into the oven.
Chef started piling up the ingredients for his Garlic Cheese Mashed potatoes dish. He developed a cream by mixing butter and heavy cream heating in pan. Removed from the flame .. chef mixed in some cheddar cheese and dropped the potatoes into the bowl. Big Daddy then started his yearly workout by getting into a mix-n-mashing session and then placed the covered bowl of mashed potatoes into the oven - since the Prime Rib was getting lonely.
Chef started prepping his Broccoli-Cheese Casserole by cutting his cheeses and blanching the broccoli in a large pot filled with water for several minutes.
Now building his casserole - chef dropped the broccoli and the cheeses into a casserole dish and topped it off with a unique blend of crushed crackers and spices and placed it into the oven.
All coming together - chef sliced the Prime Rib and started building his ultimate cocktail - the One and Done.Let the Frenzy Begin !!

So refreshing, a down to earth home cooking guy. Love your show, tape it so I can watch it many times.
You are awesome!!!
Hi Aaron all of your food looks so good and tastie so keep up the good cooking.
I appreciated very much the hints on picking up a good sear on the meat without killing the flavor with a scuzzy char.
Your hints and sharing your experience are both entertaining and engaging. I'm inspired to pick up blogging my own humbled and meager culinary journey again. Thanks for providing such a fantastic inspiration with your hard-hitting out of the park zest and in-the-trenches zeal.
PS Potatoes and that cassarole sounded slammin'--going to try to bring them to family reunion
