The Davises Eat is our weekly live cooking show where we make approachable meals using Southern Illinois ingredients. We keep the pace easy, so you feel like you’re in the kitchen with us.

Tonight, we start a Backyard Barbeque four-episode series of our favorite grill and smoker recipes.

In the first episode, we grill hot dogs and top them with our favorite combinations.

Chili’s “Almost Chicago‑style” dog is made to his taste buds and built with local flavors.

Niki’s dog is topped with sauerkraut salad from a 1976 Southern Illinois community cookbook and a good German mustard.

A Colombian‑inspired dog with homemade pineapple sauce piques our interest.

The sauerkraut salad and the Colombian pineapple sauce are made from scratch, so you can see how simple they are to pull together.

� Cocktail of the Week

Chili blends a Batida, a popular Brazilian drink. Our version is made with cherry juice, coconut milk, sugar, and cachaça. We’re adding a sour cherry syrup from Glacier’s End to amp up the cherry flavor. It’s cold and creamy; great for a backyard cookout on a hot summer day.

� About The Davises Eat

We broadcast live on the Rooted in Foods channel every week to show you how to cook dinner in about an hour. We use Southern Illinois and other regional ingredients whenever possible and hope you find ways to support your local food industry wherever you are.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, papas, uncles, steps, foster, and anyone filling a dad role for someone. ❤️

Thanks to Aimee Wigfall Photography for the awesome photo of Chili and Noodle 🤣🫣. It definitely captures this family.

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday looking for an old salad dressing recipe in community cookbooks. I found it. I also found so many dishes from my childhood that I’m now down another 🐰 hole! I’m remaking this one slightly (mostly with clearer directions). It’ll be in an upcoming newsletter.

We’re smoking wings for Father’s Day. What’s your go-to wing rub or sauce? My favorite is a crispy, sticky teriyaki wing.

If you’re in Carbondale, swing into Stillwoods for their Performance Review. It’s coffee liqueur, vanilla vodka and coconut liqueur. It tastes like a grown up mounds bar with coffee! Yum!

Is a hot dog a sandwich? 🌭🥪
