David Garrard on the Rachael Ray Show: Buffalo Chicken Dip!

by River City Rage on Jan 28, 2009 10:03 AM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars Off-Topic

Things I never thought I'd post on Big Cat Country...

David Garrard, our embattled quarterback, will be a guest on the Rachael Ray show on Thursday. No, the producers of the show did not pay me to promote his apperance. In fact, if you made a list of things that I never expected to post on BCC, Rachael Ray is probably in the top five, if not number one overall. David is going on for an NFL players cooking segment, where he makes his "Buffalo Chicken Dip"

Notice the MVP spelled out in red peppers.

Anyhow, I thought this apperance was absurd enough to merit being posted, though I can't tell you exactly how to make this dip. You see, the show's website has the recipies, but won't post the whole thing until after they air the show. So if you're sitting at home today with a hankering for David's dip, you'll have to wait.

Here's what you'll need to make it though:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese
2 cups cooked chicken (a store-bought rotisserie chicken works best), shredded
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, recommended brand Texas Pete
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (eyeball it)
1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (eyeball it

I'd be willing to bet that you take the components, put them in a pyrex oven safe pan, and bake it until it's melted and brown. I can't imagine this being anymore complicated than that.

How about you, do you have any special recipies for tailgating food?

That's what I love about this site - if it involves football in any way - we get it.

I just don’t know how I made this far without a Rachel Ray fix on BCC.

Top shelf Chris :-) :-)!

Just curious.......

why do you refer to Garrard as “embattled”. The decline with the Jags this past year had nothing to do with the qb. How do you think Kurt Warner would have performed behind our decimated offensive line? Using adjectives such as “embattled” only perpetuates a negative mindset that seems to be very prevalent amongst some Jag fans.

"Embattled" simply means that he has come under fire or critism.

Rightly or wrongly – Garrard has come under critism this year – so Chris’ use of the word is spot on.

I agree with OGN's assessments of my comments

Embattled does not mean something critical about David, but rather the circumstances surrounding his play. There’s not a pundit or journalist who covered the Jaguars who questioned the 60 million dollar contract during the awful season.

Doesn't sound half bad

Except the Texas Pete can gtfo, also head scratchy on why so much butter. As for some good tailgate eating, Cincinnati Chili can’t be beat

2 large onion chopped
2 pound extra-lean ground beef
2 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon red (cayenne) pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa or 1/2 ounce grated unsweetened chocolate
2 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 cup water

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, saute onion, ground beef, garlic, and chili powder until ground beef is slightly cooked. Add allspice, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, unsweetened cocoa or chocolate, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat.

Thanks...

Normally, I would pass up a chili recipe, but
1). A real chili must be beanless
2). Interesting Spice combo going on there
3). Gotta go with the diced chuck over ground beef

Gracias

It’s best either with spaghetti as a sub for sauce or liberally applied on top of a hot dog

Good stuff!

A guy at work made something similar for our Christmas pot luck lunch, except he leaves out the blue cheese. It was yummy!

You must have Skyline chili from Cincinnati. Best on earth

Mmmm skyline

Whenever I see family in Cincinnati, a trip to Skyline is pretty much mandatory ;)

I have this Tevo'd so I haven't seen him yet...

but did anyone watch Garrard on the show today?

by jagsfanbrunell on Jan 29, 2009 11:10 AM EST reply actions

I missed it

I was going to set an alarm to remind me, but I realized that I’d be planning my day around the Rachael Ray show and decided against it. No offense to Rachael or anything, but if she’s not going to exotic cities on 40 dollars a day and trolloping around trolling for free drinks, I’m not interested.
