Today Show: Ericka Burke Salmon Sliders Recipe with Sriracha Mayo

Today Show: Tailgating Recipe

Ericka Burke from Seattle’s Volunteer Park Cafe faced off in a friendly rivalry on Today Show with some tailgating recipes. She made Salmon Sliders and Pigs in a Blanket. Her competition included Pork BLTs and Fried Chicken Sliders.

Al Roker and Natalie Morales had a hard time after taste testing all the competitors. They could not seem to come to an agreement on the winner. Eventually, Al Roker deferred to Natalie and Ericka was declared the winner. I can see why, based on her Salmon Sliders alone. Do you think you would try this recipe?
