Who remembers watching Happy Together nearly a decade ago and trying to copy the recipes they used to make? This wonderful corner was when guests would bring their childhood easy-to-make nighttime recipes and compete in a "late-night restaurant" (since the show aired late-night) for the best recipe! Celebrities would bring in their stories of eating these recipes when they were young or trainees, so these recipes aren't only tasty, but they're also meaningful. 

Let's bring it back and see some of the stuff that we can make in our own kitchen! Easy and delicious recipes that anyone can make at their home! Let's take a trip down memory lane these next few weeks and see some of the delicious recipes that we can whip up easily in our own kitchen! (Drop the "Happy Together~~ OST! #iykyk)
