- Welcome back to our Halloween Hour.
I am here with Megan Trainor,
McKenna Grace, Ernie Hudson, and Jennifer Garner.
(crowd cheering)
Alright so we talked about earlier,
Megan hosts Top Chef: Family style on Peacock.
So we brought in the unofficial,
although I think it is official,
chef of the Trainor family
to show us an easy and tasty dish to serve
at your Halloween gathering tonight.
It smells delicious.
Let's welcome Megan's dad, Gary everybody!
(crowd clapping and cheering)
[Host] First of all you look amazing
- Thank you.
- What was his name in the film again?
What's your character's name?
- Louis Tully!
- [Host] Oh my God, the key, yes!
- The brains of the outfit.
- [Host] Obviously,
- The key!
- [Host] The key!
- The good cooking.
(host laughing)
I like the tie-in Gary. What are we making?
It smells delicious. And I smell garlic.
- [Gary] Is it?
That's fabulous. We're making a Fettuccine
as actually today we're making a Spinach Fettuccine
with chicken, broccoli,
and garlic, chopped up garlic, about four or five cloves.
We put a little butter in there to brown up our
garlic.
- Garlic.
Then,
(Gary laughing)
we pour it in
(host laughing)
the heavy cream, and I like to use a lighter cream,
like a half and half.
I want to think it's gonna be healthy.
(host laughing)
- What do we do?
- Oh, I'm sorry well,
(host laughing)
- [Host] She's like 'Dad!' (laughing)
(group laughs)
- We put it in a little, you know, a little,
- What do we put in?
- [Megan] Cheese.
- [Host] Oh, cheese! I love cheese.
- [Gary] And you stir. Now you got to stay with us,
this is the hardest thing to do right here.
You got to stay with it because you can't get it too thick.
You can't let it boil curdle. Can't do any of that.
- Okay. Oh, you have to pay attention.
- [Gary] Can you focus on that,
where you stirring that cheese right in there
and it's looking good.
- [Host] Whatever, I like cheese.
(crowd laughs)
- I'm just going to keep putting cheese.
- [Gary] How're you doing over there?
- I'm doing great. What?
(crowd laughs)
- [Gary] Once you get your consistency, correct?
Which it looks pretty good. You got your grilled chicken,
which I grilled on the outdoor grill,
but put it in the fry pan as well.
- [Host] Okay.
- [Gary] And we're going to add the chicken
and the mushrooms.
- Chicken. So we just toss it in there?
- Just dump it in.
- Just dump it in?
- I'm dumping it in.
- [Gary] Just dump it right in and stir it up.
- [Megan] Wow.
- [Host] Okay.
(group chattering)
- [Gary] And our mushrooms and our broccoli
go right into pot.
- Okay, okay.
- [Gary] Oh, it's looking too good.
(group chattering and laughing)
- Now we're going to add our pasta.
- [Host] Okay.
- Whoo!
- I'm just gonna like grab it man.
- [Megan] Just get in there.
- [Host] My hands are clean.
- [Megan] Just get in there. You can't do it wrong. Dump it.
(group chattering)
- My hands are totally clean. It's great.
- [Gary] Oh, okay.
- In this environment, are you kidding?
COVID, all of our hands are clean.
(host laughs)
- [Host] It's like sanitizer everywhere.
- [Gary] And then you kind of mix it all together.
- Okay. So we didn't even mix it up and every,
how are y'all doing down there?
- [Gary] Yeah, how's the students doing down there?
- Great! (laughs)
- Yeah!
- [Megan] Ernie, yours looks good.
Oh, McKenna, yours looks good too.
- [Gary] Stir it up baby. Stir it up.
- [Host] Yes! Okay, okay.
Okay, wait. Do y'all cook?
Ernie, do you cook?
- [Ernie] No.
(group laughing)
- [Host] Jennifer, do you cook?
- [Jennifer] Yes!
- [Host] Yes! Okay, okay.
McKenna, how about you? You're 15, but whatever you might.
- [McKenna] I like to bake.
I like to bake cakes that look like frogs.
- [Host] Oh my God.
You are so awesome. What?
- Is it okay that I keep adding cheese?
- [Megan] Yes, please.
(group chattering)
- You know you gotta do it the way you love to do it.
You can put a little salt and pepper on it.
- Oh!
- Oh, that's a good idea.
- What do you do with the eyeballs?
- Well, the last stop.
The last step, not the stop.
Here we go. We're going to do some festive.
I love these cherry tomatoes,
but these are orange ones would go with the green. Right?
- [Host] Okay. Okay.
- [Gary] And you just pop those right on the top.
I don't like to cook them because they stay nice
and crunchy if you put them right in there, right?
- Oh, and these are cute.
The little eyeballs with the olives.
- Now, we do.
- Horrible.
I love olives too.
- [Gary] Look at the mozzarella eyeballs.
- [Megan] So it's spooky. Okay. Now, eat it.
(group chattering)
- I'm going to eat it.
(group chattering)
- [Host] Trust your skills. I'm trying it.
Where's the olive? There we go. Oh, that's a little much.
Okay.
- [Megan] Get in there.
- [Jennifer] Am I eating it right out of the pan?
(group chattering)
- I wanna eat it out of the pan.
- Oh my God.
I also notice there's like toaster
and I don't want to be rude so,
- [Jennifer] That's so good.
So I'm just going to try some here at the break.
(group laughing)
This is on the plan too, Megan. Thank you so much, Gary.
- [Gary] Oh yeah. There's garlic bread. I forgot that.
- I didn't forget it. I can sniff bread out.
(crowd laughing)
- [Host] Don't you worry. Well, thank you so much, Gary.
I love y'all as family.
I love your whole connection, how great y'all are together.
- You gotta sit down at dinner today and you know,
- [Host] We do, I do with my kids.
