Food is often the center of good times -- or for Michael Symon, the best times. He makes Grilled Swordfish with Salsa Fresca, reminding him of his last meal with his parents before he headed off for college, and his Spicy Cucumber Salad is just like his grandfather Pap made throughout Michael's childhood. For dessert, Michael's wife, Lizzie, joins him to make Ricotta Cornmeal Pound Cake, taking them back to the restaurant where they first met and worked together. It's a meal with all the makings of good memories.

"City Chicken" may hail from the Depression era, but this meal is anything but dreary. Michael Symon takes the now Midwestern classic and revives it as Cast Iron Pork Tenderloin. He adds asparagus to grilled, breaded pork and pairs the nutty flavors with a tangy dressing, adding horseradish to resurrect the dish and give it a new lease of life. Last but not least, Michael's wife, Lizzie, joins him to make foolproof Mason Jar Strawberry Ice Cream.
