This show should have been called, “My whole world has been turned upside-down by Art Bovino (of the dailymeal.com). Today on our little chat with our NYC representative, we discovered the wonderful (or wonderfully disgusting) world of McMashups. You’ll just have to watch to see what kind of creations that people have come up with using only McDonalds products. My personal favorite of the night being the “McWichCameFirst”. Brilliant. We also had Sam give some tips about buying knives. If you are thinking about spending money on that knife block set you’ve always wanted, tune in first and listen to some good advice. Finally, Sam busts out another easy and tasty Asian-inspired recipe with a tomato & egg stirfry with steamed rice. So satisfying.

On today’s episode of the livecast, we get a firsthand story about one of Sam’s failed auditions as a television host in New York City. We also go through lots of random bits from around the web including a Black Metal Vegan, sea monkeys, and San Diego Beer Week. Was it completely random? Yes. But there was lots to talk about today and lots of fans to interact with. With football season in full swing, Sam ends the show by appropriately making the ultimate weekend sports day snack: Chili-Frito Bags. Stupid simple and amazingly delicious.

You know what’s weird? Sam wearing a scarf to cover up his unusually blotchy red neck. You know what’s NOT weird? A delicious and super fast cheesesteak style sandwich using thin slices of sirloin, peppers, onions, provolone cheese, a splash of Worcestershire, and a dash of Montreal Steak Seasoning (I just got hungry typing that out). Well lucky for you, tonight’s livecast contains the weird and non-weird alike. Sam also rants about the pathetic publicity stunt that is Kim Kardashian and finds out just how dumb a recipe can be on the Food Network’s website. It was a good week livecasters, thanks for participating via Facebook (www.facebook.com/samthecookingguy) and Twitter (@thecookingguy). And don’t forget people, join us LIVE at 6PM every M, W, TH at www.thesamlivecast.com.

Today we had a fun little show with the legendary Art Bovino from www.thedailymeal.com. We talked about some best sandwiches around the country and Art also enlightened us about a joint in El Paso, TX that makes his knees knock every time. We were also joined by Kelly from The Feast (www.thefeast.com/sandiego) as a special guest on the couch. But the star of the show had to have been the amazing pizza that Sam made with zesty Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, blue cheese dressing, bubbly Monterey Jack cheese, and shredded rotisserie chicken. You HAVE to try it.

PS: Sam is pissed at Kim Kardashian for that whole marriage fiasco. You should be too.

Livecast nation, is it cold where you are at? If so, you’re going to need to make this freaking delicious chili recipe to warm things up. Like all of Sam’s recipes, it is simple and quick–perfect for your next dinner at home when you’re pressed for time or have unexpected guests drop by. Also, in today’s episode, we talk about some interesting food-related news like Heinz’s new ketchup flavor and dipping packets. We also talk about our “favorite” Food Network personality: Guy Fieri. Our week is done but you should definitely tune in on Monday for a special Halloween episode.
