Premiering July 3, the special features decorated U.S. Army veteran and celebrity chef Andre Rush alongside chef David Burke, with appearances by chef Robert Irvine, as they showcase classic American cooking and Fourth of July favorites.

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S 1757 BEER RECIPE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE AHEAD OF AMERICA’S 250TH BIRTHDAY

Below are nine recipes featured in the special, offering everything from classic barbecue favorites to regional dishes inspired by communities across the country.

1. Live-Fire Oak-Smoked Salmon on Cedar & Banana Leaf

A rustic, open-fire method that layers salmon over banana leaf and cedar plank, allowing gentle oak smoke to flavor the fish while keeping it exceptionally moist over live coals. 

The banana leaf acts as a protective barrier, preventing the salmon from sticking or drying out during the slow roast. (Yields: 6–8)

Prep & Cook Time

• Prep Time: 40 minutes
• Cook Time: 35–45 minutes

Ingredients

For the Salmon

1 side salmon fillet (3–4 lbs), skin-on, pin bones removed

1 untreated cedar plank (large enough to fit fillet)

1 large banana leaf

4–6 food-safe stainless steel nails or metal skewers

Chunk oak firewood, burned down to glowing coals

Spray bottle filled with water

Herb & Garlic Marinade

8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

Shallots, roughly chopped

1 cup olive oil

1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped

1 bunch dill, roughly chopped

½ cup capers, drained

1 bunch basil

Zest and juice of 2 lemons

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Buttermilk Herb Sauce

1½ cups buttermilk

¾ cup mayonnaise

¾ cup sour cream

½ bunch basil

2 tbsp chopped dill

2 tbsp chopped parsley

2 tbsp capers

2 hard-boiled eggs

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

‘AMERICAN KITCHEN’ CHEF SERVES CREAMY ACORN SQUASH SOUP IN EDIBLE BOWLS ‘THAT EVERYONE WILL LOVE’

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cedar Plank & Banana Leaf

Submerge the cedar plank in water for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight if possible. This prevents the wood from burning too quickly over the fire.

Run the banana leaf under warm water or briefly pass it over a flame for several seconds until pliable. Trim to fit the plank.

2. Build the Fire

Use chunk oak firewood to build a live fire. Allow the wood to burn down until you have a steady bed of glowing coals with low, controlled flames. The goal is gentle smoke and indirect heat rather than aggressive flames.

3. Make the Marinade

In a food processor or blender, combine garlic, shallots, olive oil, parsley, dill, capers, basil, lemon zest and juice.

Blend until rustic but spoonable. Season with salt and black pepper.

Spread the mixture generously over the salmon fillet. Let marinate at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.

4. Assemble the Plank

Lay the banana leaf over the soaked cedar plank.

Place the salmon skin-side down on top of the leaf. Secure the salmon, banana leaf and plank together using stainless steel nails or skewers.

The banana leaf protects the fish while allowing the cedar and oak smoke to gently perfume the salmon.

5. Cook the Salmon

Place the planked salmon near — not directly over — the oak coals.

Cook slowly for 35–45 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches approximately 140°F.

Keep the spray bottle nearby to control any flare-ups from the cedar plank.

6. Make the Buttermilk Herb Sauce

Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise and sour cream.

Finely chop the basil, dill, parsley, capers and hard-boiled eggs. Fold into the dressing mixture and season with salt and pepper.

Chill until ready to serve.

7. Serve

Carefully remove the plank from the fire using heat-resistant gloves.

Lift the salmon from the banana leaf and serve directly from the cedar plank alongside the chilled buttermilk herb sauce.

Serve with grilled lemons, charred vegetables, roasted potatoes or fire-toasted bread.

2. Smoked Bulgogi-Glazed St. Louis Ribs

Slow-smoked until deeply tender and finished with a glossy Korean-inspired bulgogi glaze, these St. Louis ribs balance smoke, sweetness, heat and umami. The combination of soy, garlic, ginger, sesame and gochujang creates a lacquered finish that caramelizes beautifully during the final stage of cooking.

‘AMERICAN KITCHEN’ CELEBRITY CHEF SHARES SECRET OF MAKING RESTAURANT-QUALITY PRIME RIB AT HOME

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ribs

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip.

Lightly coat both sides of the ribs with yellow mustard.

In a bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients and season the ribs generously on all sides.

Allow the ribs to rest at room temperature while preparing the smoker.

2. Make the Bulgogi Glaze

Combine all bulgogi marinade ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and cool completely.

Reserve 1 cup of the glaze for basting and finishing later.

3. Prepare the Smoker

Preheat the smoker to 250°F.

Use applewood, hickory, oak or a combination for balanced smoke flavor.

Once the smoker is stable and producing clean smoke, place the ribs bone-side down directly on the grates.

4. Smoke the Ribs

Smoke the ribs uncovered for approximately 3 hours.

During this stage, the ribs will develop color, bark, and smoke flavor.

Lightly brush the ribs with bulgogi glaze during the final hour if desired.

5. Wrap the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the smoker.

Brush generously with bulgogi glaze, then wrap each rack tightly in heavy-duty foil with 2 tbsp butter and an extra splash of bulgogi glaze.

Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker and continue cooking for 1½–2 hours, until tender.

The ribs should bend easily and the meat should begin pulling back from the bones.

6. Finish & Caramelize

Carefully unwrap the ribs and return them to the smoker uncovered.

Combine the barbecue sauce, reserved bulgogi glaze and butter to make the finishing sauce.

Brush the ribs generously with the finishing sauce.

Smoke uncovered for an additional 30–45 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize into a sticky, lacquered finish.

7. Rest & Serve

Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Finish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, pickled vegetables and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Serve warm with additional glaze alongside steamed rice, grilled vegetables or crisp slaw.

3. Grilled Clambake Foil Packets

A grill-friendly version of a classic coastal clambake, cooked in foil packets over indirect heat until the clams steam open and the butter, wine, lemon and smoky sausage create a rich broth inside the packet.

This recipe can be made as individual foil packets for each guest or one large foil packet served family-style.

FROM YELLOWSTONE TO YOSEMITE, NEW COOKBOOK REVEALS RECIPES INSPIRED BY AMERICA’S MOST ICONIC PARKS

Serve with additional melted or drawn butter on the side, if desired. (Yields: 6–8)

Prep & Cook Time

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 30–40 minutes

Ingredients

• 60 littleneck clams, scrubbed clean
• 6 ears corn, cut into halves or thirds
• 1¼ lbs smoked sausage, sliced into thick rounds
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1¼ lbs unsalted butter, cubed and divided
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• ¾ lb pee wee potatoes (or baby potatoes), halved if needed
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 1 small handful pea shoots
• ½ cup sliced peppadew peppers
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• Fresh parsley, pea shoots, or lemon wedges for serving
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F.

For charcoal grills, arrange coals to one side for indirect cooking. For gas grills, leave one burner on low or off to create an indirect heat zone.

Close the lid and allow the grill to fully preheat.

2. Par-Cook the Potatoes & Corn

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Add the corn during the final 3–4 minutes of cooking. Drain well.

3. Assemble the Foil Packets

Tear large sheets of heavy-duty foil.

For individual packets, divide all ingredients evenly among 6–8 packets. For one large packet, use a double layer of foil and pile everything into the center.

Layer potatoes, corn, sausage, cherry tomatoes, peppadew peppers and clams.

Pour the white wine and lemon juice evenly over the mixture.

Distribute the cubed butter throughout the packets. As the packets cook, the butter combines with the wine, clam juices and lemon to create the broth.

Season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.

Top with pea shoots.

Seal the packets tightly, crimping all edges securely to trap the steam.

4. Grill the Clambake

Place the packets on the indirect heat side of the grill.

Close the lid and cook for 30–40 minutes, depending on packet size and grill temperature.

Rotate the packets once during cooking for even heat distribution.

The clambake is ready when the clams have fully opened, the potatoes are tender, the broth is bubbling and the sausage is heated through.

Discard any clams that remain closed after cooking.

5. Serve

Carefully open the foil packets — hot steam will escape immediately.

Serve directly from the packets or transfer to a large serving platter with plenty of the buttery broth spooned over the top.

Finish with fresh lemon wedges, parsley, or additional pea shoots.

Serve additional melted or drawn butter on the side, if desired.

4. Fire Pit Clambake Foil Packets

A rustic, fire-cooked clambake designed for cooking directly over hot coals in a fire pit. Clams, sausage, potatoes, sweet corn, tomatoes, butter, white wine and bright lemon steam together inside foil packets until smoky, briny and deeply flavorful.

This recipe can be prepared as individual foil packets for each guest or one large shared foil packet for serving family-style.

Prep & Cook Time

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 35–45 minutes

Ingredients

60 littleneck clams, scrubbed clean

6 ears corn, cut in halves or thirds

1¼ lbs smoked sausage, sliced into thick rounds

1 cup dry white wine

1¼ lbs unsalted butter, divided

½ cup fresh lemon juice

¾ lb pee wee potatoes (or small baby potatoes), halved if needed

½ cup sliced peppadew peppers (estimated amount)

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Fresh parsley or additional pea shoots, for garnish

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

‘AMERICAN KITCHEN’ CHEF’S POPOVERS RISE TO THE OCCASION

Instructions

1. Build the Fire

Prepare a wood fire in a fire pit and allow it to burn down to a steady bed of hot coals with moderate heat.

You want enough residual heat to steadily steam and roast the packets without scorching them.

2. Par-Cook the Potatoes & Corn

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes until just beginning to soften.

Add the corn during the final 3–4 minutes. Drain well.

This ensures everything finishes cooking evenly inside the packets.

3. Assemble the Packets

Tear large sheets of heavy-duty foil.

For individual packets, divide ingredients evenly among 6–8 packets. For one large packet, double-layer the foil and pile everything in the center.

Layer in potatoes, corn, sausage, cherry tomatoes, peppadew peppers and clams.

Pour the wine and lemon juice evenly over everything.

Cut the butter into cubes and distribute throughout the packets. The butter melts into the seafood broth as the clambake cooks.

Season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.

Top with pea shoots.

Seal the foil tightly, crimping all edges well to trap the steam.

4. Cook Over the Fire

Place the foil packets directly over the hot coals or on a grill grate positioned above the fire.

Cook for 35–45 minutes, rotating occasionally if needed for even heat.

The clambake is ready when the clams have opened, the potatoes are tender, the sausage is heated through and the broth is bubbling and fragrant.

Discard any clams that remain closed after cooking.

5. Serve

Carefully open the packets — hot steam will escape immediately.

Serve directly from the foil with crusty bread and additional melted or drawn butter on the side, if desired.

Finish with extra lemon, parsley or fresh pea shoots before serving.

5. Oak-Smoked Cedar Plank Salmon on the Grill

This grill-friendly version captures the same wood-fired character and slow-roasted texture of traditional plank salmon without the banana leaf or nailed presentation. 

Cooking the salmon directly on a soaked cedar plank allows the fish to absorb gentle oak smoke while staying tender and moist over indirect heat. (Yields: 6-8)

8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

4 shallots, roughly chopped

1 cup olive oil

1 bunch parsley, roughly chopped

1 bunch dill, roughly chopped

¾ cup mayonnaise

¾ cup sour cream

½ bunch basil

2 tbsp chopped dill

2 tbsp chopped parsley

2 tbsp capers

2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Soak the Cedar Plank

Submerge the cedar plank in water for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight if possible. This helps prevent the plank from burning too quickly on the grill.

If desired, lightly brush the top of the soaked plank with neutral oil to further reduce sticking.

2. Prepare the Grill

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat, approximately 350–375°F.

For charcoal grills, push the coals to one side for indirect cooking. Add chunk oak firewood or oak smoking chunks directly onto the hot coals.

For gas grills, use indirect heat by leaving one burner off or lowering one side of the grill. Add oak chunks in a smoker box or foil packet with ventilation holes.

Close the lid and allow smoke to develop.

3. Make the Marinade

In a food processor or blender, combine garlic, shallots, olive oil, parsley, dill, capers, basil, lemon zest and juice.

Pulse until rustic but spreadable. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Spread the marinade evenly over the salmon fillet and let sit for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.

4. Grill the Salmon

Place the marinated salmon skin-side down directly onto the soaked cedar plank.

Transfer the plank to the indirect heat side of the grill and close the lid.

Cook for 30–40 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, the internal temperature reaches approximately 140°F and the edges are lightly caramelized and smoky.

If the plank begins to smolder aggressively, lightly mist the edges with water.

5. Make the Buttermilk Herb Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise and sour cream.

Fold in basil, dill, parsley, capers and chopped hard-boiled eggs.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

6. Serve

Carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill using heat-resistant gloves.

Serve the salmon directly from the plank with the chilled buttermilk herb sauce alongside grilled lemons, charred vegetables, roasted potatoes, or toasted rustic bread.
