Frozen Cherry Bellini

We dressed a classic margarita for the red carpet just in time for your award show viewing parties. Wether you're into the Grammys or the Oscars, this is the perfect awards season cocktail. A little gold and some bubbles are the perfect accessories this year.

For this episode of Take 5, we head to Hollywood where the food and drink scene is often mistakenly overlooked. Our host Joey takes us to five spots that are perfect for anyone in search of a good bite or drink in Tinseltown.

Take 5 is a video series that explores a city’s thriving dining scene, hosted by our very own Joey Skladany. We feature five restaurants in five different categories, hand-picked by five local celebrities and influencers. In this episode, we head to Atlanta for restaurant picks from reality TV star Ms. Juicy, CBS Sports writer Barrett Sallee, TV and Broadway star Merle Dandridge, CNN/HLN journalist Henna Bakshi, and Joey’s first grade teacher Freda Hubbard Pittard. Our list includes: MetroFresh, Irby’s Tavern, Yebo Ski/Beach Haus, R. Thomas’ Deluxe Grill, and Sublime Donuts.

Our trick to lighter, homemade ice cream: 2% Greek yogurt. It’s a refrigerator staple, and it “churns” into a rich, creamy confection when blended with a little honey and vanilla bean. Bonus: You don’t even need an ice-cream machine.

Serendipity, a New York City restaurant featured in the romantic comedy of the same name, introduced us to the magic that is frozen hot chocolate. For a tasty twist, we used malted milk powder to make it even more irresistible.

We visit The Starlight in Brooklyn to learn how to make a frozen negroni at home. Read more.
