Spike Mendelsohn's unique holiday recipes
Celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn talks cooking, holidays, life after Top Chef and more. Find out what he's been up to since becoming a fan favorite.
You probably remember Spike Mendelsohn from Top Chef, but he's been very busy since his season 4 appearance. You can now find him starring in Bravo's Life After Top Chef. He was a recent competitor on Food Network's Next Iron Chef.
And if multiple television shows aren't enough, he's also opening a new restaurant, Bearnaise, in Washington D.C. Still, Spike had time to talk to us about all this and more, sharing some holiday cooking advice and a few one-of-a-kind recipes, featuring Captain Morgan Rum that are sure to impress your holiday guests.
SheKnows: How is life different after Top Chef? What's changed?Spike Mendelsohn: Life after Top Chef has been a complete turnaround for me. Before I went on the show, I was cooking in a New York City kitchen, running from one restaurant to the next. Going on the show gave me the opportunity to gain some notoriety and be able to have some marketing with my name. It opened the gates to so many opportunities. Now I own my own restaurants, and I'm opening a new one soon. I get to travel the world, participate in food festivals and do all sorts of charity events. It truly made my career, and when you're presented with an opportunity, you just have to take it and run with it. Top Chef gave me that opportunity, not only for me, but for everyone around me. It helped support my entire family, my friends. It's something truly unique.
SK: When you're busy filming, what do you miss most about being in the restaurant?"I come from a classic French background, where the importance of really delicious sauces is at the forefront of food."SM: When I'm busy filming, I miss yelling at people in the kitchen (laughs). I miss the hustle, the rush of service and burning myself and having to put food out on time. Being on the line is an adrenaline rush and is something you wouldn't understand unless you were a chef. That's part of the reason why I'm opening a new restaurant. It allows me to be in the kitchen a lot more, as opposed to the fast casual restaurants I've been doing. I've been in the kitchen since I was 13 years old, so having a break these past three years from the everyday kitchen life has been really unique and a great learning experience. I've gotten to learn the business a lot more and how to build a restaurant. I enjoy both sides now.
SK: What is the concept for Bearnaise?SM: Bearnaise is a classical steak frites restaurant out of Paris. It's a prix fixe menu that really takes the essence of a Parisian-style steak frites restaurant and replicates it in the United States. We're changing it up a little bit to provide more options and do a couple different things, but for the most part it's going to stay pretty classic. For instance, we're going to have French onion soup, classic walnut salad, different types of steak frites with all sorts of sauces. It'll be a steak frites place with my take on it, so I'm pretty excited about it.
SK: What tips would you give home cooks for making holiday dinners less stressful?SM: My biggest tip is that you don't have to do it all by yourself. Ask your guests to bring something to eliminate some of the items off your prep list. If you want a sweet potato casserole or some mashed potatoes, ask someone to make it and bring it with them. I think that makes it a little more interactive and fun too, when people get to bring their sides and their sauces. Also, don't wait until the last minute to prep everything. Think about leftovers and how great those taste. Making things a day or two ahead always helps, and that food will only get better with time. Throw the stuffing together the day before and have it already made, so when you wake up in the morning you can just reheat it.
SK: What are your favorite holiday dishes to prepare?SM: My favorite holiday dish to prepare is stuffing. I think they're so delicious, and I also love to make sauces. I'm known for my holiday sauces, like the gravy, red wine sauces and reductions. I come from a classic French background, where the importance of really delicious sauces is at the forefront of food.

Tips for planning the perfect block party menu
The biggest challenge to a block party menu is organization. Who's bringing what? For how many? Take a breather and follow these tips for easy summer party planning with a little help from some familiar web services.
Planning a block party can be daunting. Perhaps one of the most challenging parts is feeding the hungry crowd. How do you make sure there's enough food for all and that everything (including incidentals) is taken care of? How about a little help from an online sharing service like Clipboard or Pinterest?
Organizing the menuYou may be tempted to just ask everyone to bring their favorite foods, but remember that means that you'll have a lot of disjointed dishes, and you could easily end up with six potato salads and no veggies.
Set up a board on Clipboard or Pinterest just for your party planning and invite one member of each household to join. While Pinterest works for this, we prefer Clipboard because it has a few features that make it especially useful for party planning (like tagging, the ability to @-reply to bring a note to someone's attention and the ability to create notes without special clips from the web).
Have a single small committee decide on the menu or theme. For example, if you decide to do barbecue, you'll want one or two people in charge of the main dish and everyone else in charge of extras. Either assign each household a dish to bring or ask them to submit ideas by pinning or clipping them to the main board. Then everyone can see at a glance if there's a duplicate and those things can be worked out in advance.
Once the menu is set, make sure you keep people informed of how many people they'll need to serve and other information they'll need. For example, if someone is supposed to bring baked beans, add a note to their clip letting them know how many people they're serving, what serving utensils to bring, if any, and whether they should bring optional add-ins (like cheese, green onions, etc.).
Make it easy! Try our block party grilling menu
Drinks A variety of sodas (make sure you have diet and caffeine-free options and lemon-lime for the kids)Mocktails for the kidsWatermelon & jalapeño margaritasPlenty of waterA variety of beer (we recommend asking guests to BYOB)Appetizers Grilled stuffed jalapeños with fresh cilantro lime sauceAdorably cheesy animal appetizersVodka-infused tomatoes with dipping salts (Vegetarian, vegan if made with Imperial brand or other vegan-approved sugar)Crackers and several cheese spreadsVegetable platterEntrees Mexican-spiced baby back ribs with chipotle honey glazeFavorite burger recipes from football legendsQuinoa veggie burger (Vegetarian, vegan if egg white substitute is used; make sure they aren't cooked on the same grill as meat)Sides Honey barbecue beans with applewood smoked baconGrilled sweet potato and mango salad (Vegetarian, vegan if made with Imperial brand or other vegan-approved sugar) French friesGrilled vegetables (Vegan if not grilled using animal fat)Homestyle coleslaw (Vegetarian, vegan if made using mayonnaise substitute)Cactus fries with avocado dipping sauce (Vegetarian, vegan if made using vegan sour cream and mayonnaise substitutes)Desserts S'mores dessert pizzaPiñata cookiesVegan coconut chocolate puddingCake batter browniesStore-bought candy and fruit (watermelon is always popular)Other important stuffThe menu isn't the only thing people need to know about, though. Use the notes feature to add party details, like the time and date, where they should bring the food and any other important info.
It's also helpful to post a note or link containing food safety tips (how to keep it warm or cold, etc.). Basically, it's helpful to have a central location with details that apply to everyone.
And don't forget the utensils and plates! Make sure someone's in charge of bringing the right kind of plates (for barbecue or messy food, you'll need heavy-duty plates, preferably with dividers), spoons, forks, serving utensils, cups (do you need special glasses for a cocktail?), drinks (especially plenty of water) and napkins. If you want these things to match, make sure you post and assign the exact type or color you need.
You should also suggest special disposable containers guests can buy for their dishes instead of bringing their own. You may also need ice, ice chests, tables, chairs and other incidentals. If you can't find it online, you can post a note and assign it.
tipDon't forget to send a reminder about a week before the event. Even if you can set up emails to for notifications when things on your board change, one last reminder helps ensure no one misses something important.
