A small but mighty snack! Celebrity chef Jason Santos has the perfect recipe to step up your appetizer game — his flavorful jalapeño, cheddar and bacon hush puppies.
“I love them because they’re so easy to make,” the Hell’s Kitchen star, 46, exclusively shares of his dish — which is featured in his new cookbook Simple Fancy — in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “They can be used as a passed canapé, plated appetizer or even as a side dish.”
A hush puppy is a savory bite-sized delight that typically consists of deep-fried cornmeal batter. As a staple in Southern cooking, they are usually served as a side dish that can be paired with seafood and other fried treats. What makes the sous chef’s recipe so special is its versatility.
“Use my recipe as a base and flavor them however you see fit!” the Boston-based restaurateur explains to Us.
Santos was the runner-up on the seventh season of Gordon Ramsay’s cooking competition series. He later returned to the reality show as a sous chef for seasons 19, 20 and 21. He is best known for his Buttermilk & Bourbon restaurants, which serve New Orleans-inspired cuisine.

Colin Jost and Michael Che returned to Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” and took several swipes at George Santos and Donald Trump.
It has been said that success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. Evidently, Congressman George Santos didn’t understand the memo. He once claimed he was a producer on the troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark Broadway musical, which was notorious for its many troubles and is considered one of Broadway’s biggest flops.
Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has gained a national profile for lies about his background, told Republican colleagues that he will step down from committee assignments until ethics issues are resolved.
It appears the question of who would land the lead role in Antoine Fuqua’s recently announced Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled “Michael,” isn’t a mystery anymore. Not only that, the filmmaker didn’t have to look too far to find his star, as Michael Jackson’s nephew landed the job.
EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson will be played by the late icon’s 26-year old nephew Jaafar Jackson in the Antoine Fuqua-directed film biopic for Lionsgate. Fuqua just posted a confirmation on Instagram. The singer and songwriter is the son of Jermaine Jackson, who is the brother of Michael and member of The Jackson 5. Jaafar has been singing and dancing since age 12, and has showcased himself singing tunes from Sam Cooke to Marvin Gaye, along with originals.

Passing down the silver spoon! Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ massive Hollywood success is trickling down to her children.
George Santos has been having quite the year so far as the embattled congressman’s credentials have come into question. Late-night television has impersonated him and the U.S. representative is not impressed by any of them.
FX has rounded out the series regular cast for its hourlong pilot The Answers, the network’s adaptation of Catherine Lacey’s novel. Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) is set to star alongside Raul Esparza (Retreat), Krys Marshall (For All Mankind), Melanie Field ( A League Of Their Own), Pallavi Sharda (Wedding Season) and Kineta Kunutu (Citadel) in the project from Sorry for Your Loss creator Kit Steinkellner, Dopesick creator Danny Strong, Requiem for a Dream director Darren Aronofsky and 20th Television. They join previously announced male lead David Corenswet.
Coming off a holiday break, Saturday Night Live went with congressman George Santos’ fabulist past claims while also spoofing his alleged past as a drag performer.
This is getting absurd! If all this is true, George Santos isn’t just a conman, he’s like a villain from a Saturday morning cartoon!
