• 2 tablespoons brown spicy mustard
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 4 portobello mushroom caps
• 4 slices Gouda cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 4 leaves butter lettuce
• 1 tomato, sliced

Combine marinade ingredients. Place caps into a baking dish and pour marinade over top. Use a brush to make sure all caps are covered with the marinade. Set aside and let marinate up to 2 hours.

Remove the portobellos from marinade (do not discard marinade) and place gill side down on a preheated gas, electric or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each cap with cheese 2 minutes to melt before they are finished grilling.

In a medium bowl combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of the marinade.

Spread the flavored mayonnaise onto each bun and top with portobellos. Serve with sliced onion, lettuce and tomato.

First, let’s start with the appetizers… Yummy Grilled Stuffed Jalapeno Chiles with Grilled Red Pepper-Tomato Sauce… MMMMM!  The cheese soothes the jalapeno’s spicy kick and unlike deep-fried jalapeno poppers the first bite will not scorch the roof of your mouth (unless you are impatient).  To help ease the heat, try pairing this delicious appetizer with a Duvel beer.  

Let’s move on to some protein.  What better way to add protein in your diet than Chicken Wings with Red Hot Honey Glaze and Blue Cheese-Celery Dipping Sauce.  The sweetness of the honey glazed wings can be enjoyed alone or dipped in sauce.  Flay prepares the wings on a BBQ grill which adds extra flavor to the savory chicken.  Your Duvel beer works well here, too.  But, if you are looking for something a little different, try a Schloss Eggenberg Urbock 23.   

Lastly, you gotta have MORE meat and potatoes!  Sliders with Chipotle Mayonnaise and Vinegar and Salt Grilled Potatoes!  Yum Yum!   The sliders are tender and moist and the chipotle mayo adds a dash of smokiness to the mini-burgers.  The potatoes are not your typically french fries!  Like salt and vinegar potato chips, they are tangy and crunchy.  Oh, will your mouth tingle!  To add ying to the sliders and potatoes’ yang, try pairing these tasty treats with Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale.  This beer will stand up to the assortment of flavors in your mouth as the inner Brit in you enjoys your pub-themed party food.
