FYI’s Jake Makes It Easy is doubling down on culinary convenience with two new episodes airing Monday, November 18, 2024. First up, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, Jake tackles a balsamic and soy-glazed brisket, paired with a seemingly simple apple honey cake. Will the brisket achieve melt-in-your-mouth perfection, or will it be tougher than a week-old bagel? And can a honey cake truly elevate itself beyond mere teatime fare? The answers, my friends, are just a short commercial break away.

At 10:30 PM ET/PT, the second helping arrives with a schnitzel sandwich featuring celery root remoulade and — because why not? — chocolate chip cookie brittle. Jake’s take on the classic fried chicken sandwich gets a European makeover, but will the celery root remoulade be a refreshing counterpoint or a root vegetable overload? As for the brittle, let’s just say my skepticism about dessert-adjacent cookie concoctions runs deep. Still, Jake’s enthusiasm is usually infectious, even when the dishes seem… questionable.

While the press materials tout Jake’s easy-to-follow instructions and dishes suitable for all occasions, I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve seen the celery root remoulade in action. One thing’s for sure: This double-header offers a chance to pick up a few new kitchen tricks — or at least marvel at Jake’s culinary ingenuity.
