Oprah's Block Party

A bowl of pretzels and a 6-foot submarine sandwich isn't what Scott and Adrianne have in mind for their indoor block party. So Oprah calls in the couple's favorite chef, world-renowned restaurateur Rick Bayless, to spice up the night with a flavorful Mexican menu.

After living in Mexico for years perfecting regional recipes, Rick opened Chicago's Frontera Grill, which was recently named the nation's best restaurant by the James Beard Foundation.

As a former Iron Chef America competitor, this chef isn't afraid to mix things up. He says the key to a mouthwatering menu is variety. To please all palates, Rick suggests his authentic Mexican tapas for Scott and Adrianne's party.

"I think your guests are just going to love it!" he says.
