Booksigning with Pat & Gina Neely from Food Network May 29, 2009

Meet the Neely’s: Pat and Gina, husband-and-wife team, hosts of their own television show, and proprietors of the celebrated Memphis and Nashville eateries, Neely’s Bar-B-Que. The Neely’s down-home approach to cooking has earned them the highest accolades from coast to coast. It has also won them millions of viewers on The Food Network. Simply put, the Neely’s are all about good food and good times. In this, their eagerly awaited debut cookbook, the Neely’s share the delicious food they have been cooking up for years both at home and in their restaurants. Here are the tried-and-true southern recipes that have been passed down from one Neely generation to the next, including many of their signature dishes, such as Barbeque Deviled Eggs, Florida Coast Pickled Shrimp, Pat’s Wings of Fire, Gina’s Collard Greens, Grandma Jean’s Potato Salad, Nana’s Southern Gumbo, Memphis-sized Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Slaw, Get Yo’ Man Chicken, and Sock-It-to-Me Cake. Certainly, no self-respecting southerner would dream of offering a meal to a guest without a proper drink, so Pat and Gina have included some of their favorite libations here, too. The Neely’s work, laugh, love, and play harder than any family you’ll ever meet. Their love for good food is infectious, and in Down Home with the Neely’s, they bring their heavenly inspired cooking down to earth for all to share.
