Start off your Saturday off with The Kitchen to learn the cast’s summer staples like Marcela Valladolid’s Steamed Clams with Chorizo and Tequila. Plus, Damaris Phillips stops by as a special guest and shares her recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad.

Finally, end your night with Alton Brown’s evilicious challenges on Cutthroat Kitchen at 10|9c.
