Meet the Neelys: 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 Neelys’ 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 Neelys are all about good food and good times. In this,
their eagerly awaited debut cookbook, the Neelys share the
delicious food they have been cooking up for years both at
home and in their restaurants.
Pat and Gina hail from families with a boundless love of
cooking and bedrock traditions of sharing meals. At the
Neelys’, mealtime is family time, and that means no
stinting on “the sauce.” Indeed, that’s one of the Neely
secrets: the liberal application of barbeque sauce to
almost anything—spaghetti, nachos, salad, you name it. Of
course, there are other secrets as well, and you will find
them all in the pages of Down Home with the Neelys, along
with more than 120 mouthwatering recipes.
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 Neelys 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 Neelys, they bring
their heavenly inspired cooking down to earth for all to
share.
