Today on Chewed Up, Michael, Carla, and Clinton are joined by chef Michelle Bernstein in Miami Beach for a crispy, handheld twist on a local classic: Cuban sandwich empanadas. Filled with ham, lechón, Swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard, these take everything people love about a Cuban and turn it into a golden fried bite.

Along the way, they talk Miami Beach food culture, Latin flavors, live fire cooking, and why Michelle's version works so well: it keeps the soul of the sandwich while giving it a whole new texture and form.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon makes one of the dishes that followed him for years: a rich rotisserie chicken mac and cheese with goat cheese, fresh rosemary, and rigatoni. What started as a smart way to use leftover rotisserie chicken turned into one of his most requested recipes and a dish that stayed on the menu far longer than he expected.

It is creamy, comforting, and surprisingly simple to pull together, especially if you already have chicken in the fridge and want to turn it into something that feels a lot more special.

 For Mother's Day, Clinton Kelly is making a classic quiche Lorraine inspired by the kind of brunch dish his mom used to make. With a buttery crust, sliced onions, bacon, Gruyère, nutmeg, and a rich but delicate custard, this is the kind of recipe that feels old school in the best way. 

Along the way, the crew talks about moms, brunch, masculinity, why quiche deserves a comeback, and what makes a really good one: a tender filling, the right amount of jiggle, and no overcooked eggs.

For Hometown Week, Carla Hall brings an old school Nashville favorite to the table: the hot fish sandwich. This is not Nashville hot chicken. It is the classic version Carla grew up with: crispy fried catfish on white bread with yellow mustard, hot sauce, onions, and pickles. 

Along the way, Carla, Michael, and Clinton talk about old Nashville, hometown food memories, community, and the kind of places where you waited for your food and actually talked to people. It is a simple sandwich with a lot of history behind it, and one bite brings Carla right back to childhood.

For Hometown Week, Clinton Kelly brings a taste of Long Island to the table with one of his all time favorite dishes: spaghetti with white clam sauce.

Stacy London joins the show for a fun, chaotic, and surprisingly delicious episode filled with deviled eggs, asparagus mimosa, fashion talk, behind the scenes stories, and nonstop laughs.

We put leftover Easter eggs to good use with Clinton Kelly's creamy deviled eggs and a simple asparagus mimosa, while Stacy shares stories from the What Not to Wear days, talks about her new show with Clinton, and jumps into games, opinions, and plenty of unfiltered banter.

If you love food, personality, and the kind of chemistry that makes a show feel effortless, this one's for you.

Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly, and Michael Symon go head-to-head in a March Madness-style frozen pizza bracket challenge — tasting 8 supermarket pizzas to crown the ultimate winner. Which childhood classic holds up? Which one gets eliminated first? The trio battles nostalgia, bad crusts, and strong opinions to find out which store-bought pizza is actually worth buying.

Spring has officially entered the Chewed Up kitchen — and Carla Hall is leading the charge with a bright, fresh, and ridiculously easy Spring Pea Soup that comes together in under 20 minutes.

Built on a simple base of butter, onions, and stock, the soup gets blended with sweet peas, fresh herbs, lemon zest, and cream for a silky, vibrant finish that tastes like the season itself. It's light, elegant, and shockingly simple — the kind of dish that feels fancy but requires almost no effort.

But this is Chewed Up… so naturally, things spiral.

In between blending and seasoning, the crew dives headfirst into Peep Roulette, a chaotic tasting game featuring wildly flavored marshmallow Peeps — from cake batter to cotton candy to Dr. Pepper. Michael Symon is absolutely horrified, Clinton is thriving, and Carla is somewhere in the middle trying to keep it all together.

The episode wraps with fan mail, hot takes on condiments, and a reminder that sometimes the best palate cleanser after total chaos… is a perfect bowl of soup.

Spring has officially entered the kitchen, and the crew is leaning all the way in. Michael, Carla, and Clinton kick things off with a spirited debate—everything from whether expensive ingredients make you a better cook to whether recipes should ever be "secret."

Then things get even better when Carla introduces her culinary producer and longtime friend, Ariane Duarte, who brings serious flavor (and personality) into the mix. From Top Chef stories to behind-the-scenes realities of cooking competitions, Ariane shares how those experiences shaped her—and how food has always been about connection and joy.

In the kitchen, Ariane walks the hosts through a build-your-own crostini situation that's equal parts elevated and approachable. Starting with homemade focaccia and whipped ricotta, the group layers on bright, seasonal toppings—think smashed peas with herbs, blistered vegetables, and strawberries with balsamic and almonds. The result? A perfect spring entertaining dish that's flexible, beautiful, and packed with flavor.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a round of Chew It or Screw It, fan mail, and a few wildly off-topic (but hilarious) tangents—because on Chewed Up, the conversation is just as important as the food.

This week on Chewed Up, the crew tackles one of the biggest kitchen debates: is fresh pasta actually worth the time?

Michael Symon brings a deeply personal dish to the table — ricotta cavatelli, a pasta he grew up making with his grandmother. As he walks through the process step-by-step, what starts as a cooking demo quickly turns into something more meaningful: a conversation about food, memory, and why cooking is about connection as much as it is about technique.

Carla jumps in to help shape the pasta (with a debatable level of success), while the conversation bounces between unpredictable spring weather, fitness realities, travel stories, and what it really means to cook "well."

The dish itself is a celebration of the season — tender homemade pasta tossed in a bright, silky brown butter sauce with peas, asparagus, lemon, and fresh dill. It's simple, vibrant, and packed with flavor.

By the end, the verdict is clear: fresh pasta isn't just about the final dish — it's about the experience. And yes… it's absolutely worth it.

Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly kick things off with their signature unfiltered banter before diving into a lively round of "Chew It or Screw It," where the audience weighs in on wild Florida foods like iguana pizza, python sausage, and alligator ribs.

Carla Hall then takes the lead with a refreshing pineapple–lime agua fresca infused with ginger, showcasing a simple, vibrant mocktail that can easily be turned into a cocktail with rum or tequila. The drink highlights bright citrus flavors and easy batching techniques perfect for entertaining.

Clinton follows with a quick, seasonal citrus salsa that swaps tomatoes for fresh oranges, jalapeño, red onion, and herbs—proving that winter citrus can deliver bold, fresh flavor. The dish comes together in minutes and works as both a dip and a topping for proteins like grilled fish or chicken.

The episode continues with interactive audience games, giveaways, and candid conversations about cooking mistakes, kitchen confidence, and simple techniques for beginner cooks.

The Chewed Up crew wraps their Miami week at the W South Beach with a bold, flavor-packed finale alongside Miami-born chef and Food Network standout Mika Leon.

Mika brings the group deep into authentic Cuban cooking, skipping the tourist-famous Cuban sandwich in favor of a true local staple: pan con lechón. Built from slow-roasted pork shoulder marinated in a garlic-heavy mojo, the dish delivers rich, citrusy flavor with perfectly crisped edges and signature chicharrón.

The sandwich comes together with sautéed onions, a smoky-spicy cumin aioli, and a surprising crunch from shoestring potatoes — a combination that hits every texture and flavor note.

Along the way, Mika shares her journey from baking in her mom's garage to launching a food truck and competing on Food Network, all while staying true to her Cuban roots. The conversation moves from Miami food culture to late-night hustle, parenting, and the realities of the restaurant industry.

The episode wraps with a Cuban coffee demo (complete with espuma technique), a surprise guest appearance, and one of the most satisfying bites of the season.

This episode of Chewed Up brings bold flavor, vibrant energy, and global inspiration as Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly welcome the one and only Maneet Chauhan in Miami at the W South Beach. Known for her fearless approach to flavor, Maneet delivers a masterclass in transforming familiar dishes into something extraordinary.

The centerpiece of the episode is her Indian-inspired coconut ceviche, where fresh fish is "cooked" in citrus and layered with garlic, chili, onion, and coconut milk. But the real magic comes from the finishing touch — a sizzling tadka of toasted spices, curry leaves, and aromatics that elevates the dish into something deeply fragrant, complex, and unforgettable.

Beyond the food, the conversation dives into Maneet's culinary journey, the cultural depth of Indian cuisine, and how food connects people across languages and borders. The crew also plays a lively round of Chew It or Screw It, shares travel bucket list destinations, and wraps with a bright, effervescent Key Lime Cardamom Fizz — complete with a dramatic champagne saber moment. This episode is a celebration of fearless cooking, cultural fusion, and the joy of sharing food.

In this lively, sun-soaked episode of Chewed Up, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly welcome the hilarious and wildly creative Damaris Phillips to the kitchen. Set poolside at the W Hotel during SOBE, the group dives into a playful, Southern-inspired take on classic tea sandwiches.

Damaris introduces three nostalgic and flavor-packed spreads: pimento cheese, Benedictine (a creamy cucumber-dill spread), and ham salad. What starts as a refined "afternoon tea" concept quickly turns into a chaotic, triple-decker sandwich experiment as the hosts layer all three spreads into one outrageous creation.

Along the way, the group shares stories, debates controversial food takes in a round of "Chew It or Screw It," and leans into their signature humor and chemistry. Damaris breaks down how simple these spreads are to make (or even buy), proving that anyone can build a beautiful and delicious sandwich board without cooking.

The episode wraps with a fan giveaway featuring Damaris' iconic thrift store kitchen finds and a heartfelt moment reflecting on friendship, authenticity, and what makes their bond so strong.

From the stunning W South Beach, the Chewed Up crew welcomes acclaimed chef Scott Conant for a conversation (and cook) rooted in simplicity, technique, and deep culinary tradition.

Scott shares the story behind his now-iconic reputation (yes, including the "red onion guy" moment), while revealing the philosophy that defines his cooking: less is more — but only when done right.

In the kitchen, Scott prepares a delicate ricotta-based gnocchi packed with broccoli rabe, spinach, and basil, paired with a silky butter sauce stabilized with a clever cornstarch technique and finished with his signature Martone Street marinara. Along the way, he breaks down essential techniques — from properly salting pasta water (hint: not like the ocean) to extracting maximum flavor from simple ingredients.

The episode blends humor, heartfelt storytelling, and serious culinary insight, as Scott reflects on family, his daughters, and the inspiration behind Martone Street — a tribute to the home where his love of food began.

It's a masterclass in thoughtful simplicity — proving that the most powerful dishes often come from restraint, intention, and great ingredients.

The Chewed Up crew heads to Miami's iconic W South Beach for an episode filled with sunshine, seafood, and plenty of laughs. Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon kick things off talking about travel, St. Patrick's Day traditions, and Miami's vibrant restaurant scene before diving into a fresh Florida-inspired recipe.

Michael Symon prepares grilled shrimp with citrus mojo sauce, a bright and garlicky dish inspired by the bold flavors of Miami and Cuban cooking. The shrimp are marinated in lime juice, lime zest, chili flakes, and olive oil before being grilled quickly to keep them perfectly tender.

Meanwhile, Michael blends a vibrant mojo sauce made from sour oranges, garlic, onion, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. The citrus-forward sauce brings bold flavor and brightness to the grilled shrimp.

As the shrimp cook, the hosts chat about Miami food favorites like Cuban sandwiches and stone crab, debate beach vs. pool vacations, and share their favorite sandwiches and cheeses.

Once plated, the shrimp are served over the bright mojo sauce and shared with the audience for a taste test — creating a simple, vibrant seafood dish that captures the spirit of Miami cooking.

Today on Chewed Up, we take one of the most overhyped dishes out there and turn it into something way more fun: three different avocado toasts from three very different points of view. Michael builds his with herbs, citrus, olive oil, flaky salt, and chile. Clinton goes bright and throwback with grapefruit, red onion, honey, and poppy seeds. Carla keeps it simple and sharp with herbs and crispy shallots.

It is part taste test, part argument, and part reminder that avocado toast is only boring if you make it boring.

In this episode of Chewed Up, Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon take the show to Miami Beach during the SOBE Wine & Food Festival, where Michael has performed cooking demos for nearly 25 years.

Michael decides to cook something inspired by the location — a bright crab pasta packed with lemon, tarragon, crème fraîche, and buttery toasted breadcrumbs. The dish is designed specifically with Clinton and Carla in mind, blending flavors they love into one irresistible seafood pasta.

As the pasta cooks, the trio dives into a lively conversation about food tourism, favorite comedy movies, and what makes a restaurant truly great — even when it's a tourist destination. Michael also shares tips on how to properly cook pasta, why crème fraîche works better than butter in some sauces, and how to keep delicate crab the star of the dish.

Once the pasta is tossed together with jumbo lump crab and finished with crispy lemon-chive panko crumbs, the hosts rave about how the light sauce allows the seafood to shine.

The episode wraps with fan mail questions, a discussion about Chinese takeout orders, and a lively audience giveaway featuring Michael Symon's mustard and bourbon tasting trays.

This episode of Chewed Up finds Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon recording live from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, celebrating its 25th anniversary. The trio reflects on nearly two decades of friendship and television history while soaking in the chef-spring-break atmosphere of Miami.

Michael kicks things off with a story about his dog Norman escaping in Los Angeles and the surprising community effort that helped bring him home. The conversation quickly turns into classic Chewed Up chaos — stories about lost pets, menopause brain fog, air fryer debates, and the realities of life and marriage after decades in the food world.

In the kitchen, Carla Hall introduces a refreshing vegetarian twist on ceviche: a Watermelon–Buttermilk "Ceviche." Inspired by Miami's heat and vibrant flavors, the dish combines diced watermelon with cucumber, jalapeño, herbs, and a tangy buttermilk-lime dressing. The result is bright, cooling, sweet, spicy, and slightly creamy — perfect for warm weather or festival snacking.

Carla demonstrates her efficient watermelon-cutting technique while explaining the inspiration behind the dish and the classic principles of ceviche. The hosts taste the dish and immediately agree it's a vibrant summer appetizer that works beautifully with crispy plantain or cassava chips.

The episode also features fan mail, audience giveaways, and a celebration of the show's independent format — where the hosts can finally say whatever they want, cook what they want, and show the brands they actually love.

Chewed Up hits the road for the first time as Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon take the show to South Beach for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Instead of cooking in the kitchen, the trio kicks off their Miami week by bringing their favorite local foods and restaurants directly to the stage.

Michael Symon begins with a legendary Miami institution: Joe's Stone Crab. He shares his long history with the restaurant — which has been serving guests for over a century — and walks through his personal ordering ritual. The hosts dig into Joe's famous fried chicken starter, followed by the star of the show: stone crab claws served chilled with mustard sauce, plus classic sides like creamed spinach and crispy hashbrown potatoes.

Clinton Kelly follows with one of his own Miami comfort-food favorites from Versailles, the iconic Cuban restaurant. The table fills with ropa vieja, white rice, black beans, maduros (sweet fried plantains), and tostones (crispy green plantains). The dishes spark conversation about Miami's evolving food culture and Clinton's memories of living in Miami Beach during the Chew years.

Carla Hall brings dessert with Fireman Derek's Key Lime Pie, prompting a surprisingly serious debate about what makes the perfect key lime pie — from crust thickness to the balance of tartness and sweetness.

Along the way, the hosts share stories from the festival, spring break road trips to the Florida Keys, restaurant traditions, and the perks (and occasional chaos) of being recognizable in food towns.

The episode wraps with a fan mail cooking question, where each host reveals a cooking technique they'd love to master — including sous vide, raw bar skills, braising, and bread baking — followed by a chaotic round of live giveaways with the audience.

It's part food tour, part nostalgia trip, and a celebration of Miami's incredible food scene — all served with the signature Chewed Up humor.

31:00 Wrapping Up the Show

It's Home Alone Week on Chewed Up, and the hosts reveal what they actually cook when nobody else is around — no dinner parties, no expectations, just pure comfort food cravings.

Carla Hall shocks Clinton Kelly and Michael Symon by going all-in on her ultimate solo indulgence: spiralized hot dogs topped with a rich, bean-less chili inspired by Detroit-style Coney dogs. What starts as a simple hot dog turns into a masterclass in texture, nostalgia, and flavor engineering.

Along the way, the trio dives into the idea of "fun food" — the meals that bring joy whether you're cooking for yourself, your family, or your inner child. From pimped-out cereal creations and homemade sundaes to Nutella sandwiches and decadent cheese nights, the conversation swings between culinary technique and hilarious personal stories.

Listeners also learn surprising food history (Detroit — not Coney Island — as the home of the Coney dog), cooking recovery tricks when recipes go sideways, and why spiralizing a hot dog creates maximum crispy edges and topping distribution.

The latest episode of Chewed Up is all about cooking for yourself — no compromises, no preferences to juggle, just pure comfort food made exactly how you want it.

Michael Symon shares one of his favorite "home alone" meals: a walk-away French-style omelet, designed to deliver creamy, delicate eggs without the pressure of traditional chef techniques. Inspired by classic French omelets and legends like Jacques Pépin, Michael breaks down how to create soft curds, avoid browning, and let residual heat do the work — proving that great eggs are more about method than skill.

Along the way, Clinton Kelly and Carla Hall dive into egg nostalgia, diner breakfasts, dishwasher debates, personal style confessions, and fan mail questions that spiral into hilarious tangents. The trio also discusses why people are so passionate about how eggs should be cooked — and why there's really no wrong answer.

Using pantry staples, warming spices, and clever cooking techniques, Carla shows how vegetables can deliver deep, satisfying flavor without relying on meat.

Michael Symon, Clinton Kelly, and Carla dive into everything from chili science and cooking tips to gardening dreams, winter survival strategies, Instagram impulse buys, cold plunges, golf ambitions, and dream food destinations around the world.

In this episode of Chewed Up, lifestyle icons Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon are back in the kitchen bringing the heat — and the cheese.

This episode centers around a crave-worthy, comfort-food classic with a twist: Portobello Mushroom Parmesan Subs.

Instead of chicken, thick, meaty portobello caps are roasted until tender, layered onto hero rolls, smothered in marinara, and blanketed with mozzarella and Parmesan before being broiled to bubbly perfection. It's hearty, satisfying, and bold enough to convert even the most skeptical meat-lover.

Between roasting mushrooms and melting cheese, the trio dive into unfiltered takes on meatless cooking, sandwich superiority debates, and what really makes comfort food comforting. Expect sharp humor, kitchen chaos, strong opinions, and a lot of cheese pulls.

In this "anything goes" episode, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly ditch traditional cooking and dive into a bracket-style taste test of eight boxed brownie mixes to determine the ultimate supermarket pick.

Inspired by sports-style elimination rounds, the hosts sample brownies head-to-head, debating fudginess, cakiness, moisture, chocolate intensity, and even the eternal "center vs corner" debate.

As the competition unfolds, different styles rise and fall based on texture, flavor, and overall chocolate satisfaction. The trio compares classic, cakey brownies with dense, ultra-fudgy options while revealing how small differences in ingredients and preparation can dramatically change the final result.

With brand reveals, nostalgic reactions, and plenty of laughs along the way, the episode delivers a fun, practical guide to navigating the brownie aisle.

Today on Chewed Up, we put 8 different salsas head to head to find out which one is actually worth buying. Fresh, jarred, chunky, smooth, mild, hot. We taste them all blind and judge them on balance, texture, freshness, heat, and how well they actually work with chips. 

Along the way, we find a few surprises, argue over spice levels, and narrow the whole bracket down to the salsas we would actually buy again.

This episode is all about turning a comfort-food classic into something new. Carla Hall introduces her "spice roulette" concept—take a familiar dish and spin the flavor profile around the world. For this episode, the "wheel" lands on Mexican inspiration, transforming traditional meatloaf with cumin, chili powder, poblano peppers, and a tangy enchilada-based glaze.

Clinton Kelly and Michael Symon dive into nostalgic meatloaf memories—from Italian-style versions to Midwest family dinners—while discussing how simple flavor swaps can completely reinvent a recipe. The trio share practical cooking tips, like mixing spices separately before adding meat and keeping onions raw for moisture and tenderness.

As the loaf bakes, the conversation expands to global variations, from Greek-inspired seasoning to Thai-style flavors and beyond. The result is a juicy, flavorful meatloaf served with a bright cabbage slaw for contrast, proving that classic comfort food can be endlessly adaptable—and just as satisfying the next day in sandwich form.

This episode dives headfirst into Valentine's Week with Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon talking love, dating pressure, and how food plays into romance. Clinton cooks his "Sexy Time Chicken," a bone-in roasted chicken with a tarragon beurre blanc designed to impress on date night.

The hosts reflect on how expectations shift depending on where you are in a relationship — from early dating nerves to decades-long partnerships — and how romance evolves over time.

They're joined by relationship expert and Tinder's resident expert Devyn Simone, who shares insights from dating culture today, including the importance of communication, emotional honesty, and shared values. She breaks down modern dating behaviors like ghosting and "situationships," explaining how younger generations are increasingly prioritizing intentional relationships and clear expectations.

The conversation blends humor and honesty: from texting etiquette after hookups to whether cooking on a first date is romantic or too intimate. Meanwhile, Clinton walks viewers through making beurre blanc from scratch and plating a confident, restaurant-level meal at home.

It's a mix of comfort food, real relationship advice, and chaotic kitchen energy — all in time for Valentine's Day.

It's Super Bowl weekend, and the Chewed Up kitchen is officially in party mode. While the Big Game looms, Clinton Kelly makes a bold — and controversial — declaration: nothing says football like baked brie. To prove his point, he whips up baked brie three ways, creating an effortless, crowd-pleasing appetizer lineup designed for real hosts who don't want to spend the whole party in the kitchen.

As the cheese melts, the conversation predictably spirals. Carla Hall and Michael Symon jump in with strong opinions, hosting wisdom, and a few well-earned side-eyes as the crew spins the Chewed Up Hot Take Wheel. From overrated movies and questionable social media influencers to airplane etiquette, nutrition myths, and why convenience might be doing us more harm than good, nothing is off limits.

Between rants, laughs, and bites of melty brie, the hosts share smart entertaining tips, debate the virtues of carbs, and remind us that the best parties don't need perfection — just good food, good company, and opinions you're willing to stand by. The episode wraps with tasting notes, Super Bowl send-offs, and a fan giveaway featuring Frontgate, proving once again that comfort food and chaos are always better together.

Super Bowl week is officially underway, and the Chewed Up kitchen is standing-room-only. Michael Symon declares this his happiest week of the year, Clinton Kelly is still confused about football rules (and referee flags), and Carla Hall delivers the ultimate handheld game-day snack: Ham and Cheese Croquettes crusted in Sweet Chili Doritos.

The crew breaks down why Super Bowl food should be mobile, snackable, and fork-free, while Carla walks through the surprisingly simple science of croquettes — a rich béchamel loaded with ham, Gruyère, cheddar, Dijon, and crushed Doritos for maximum flavor. Along the way, they spiral into football fantasies, fifth-grade croquette trauma, Cool Ranch nostalgia, and one of the most unexpected moments in Chewed Up history: Josh Capon literally calling in mid-show and crashing the set.

From Doritos-as-breadcrumbs brilliance to heartfelt reflections on careers, friendship, and following through in life, this episode delivers big laughs, real emotion, and a Super Bowl snack that absolutely earns its place on the table. Handheld, make-ahead, freezer-friendly, and dangerously addictive — these croquettes are a win no matter who takes the trophy.

These Super Bowl Smash Burgers are Michael Symon's go-to game day burger — fast, crispy, and impossible to mess up.

This episode kicks off with chaos before the grill even heats up — literally. After a late-night hotel mishap involving Carla Hall, a glass door, and a perfectly timed "smash face," Michael Symon finds unexpected inspiration for the ultimate Super Bowl dish: the smash burger.

Joined by Clinton Kelly, the trio dives deep into what makes the perfect smash burger: high-fat beef, aggressive smashing, caramelized onions, American cheese, and a firm refusal to accept brioche buns or ketchup. Michael walks through his go-to smash burger method, from beef ratios and potato rolls to his long-lasting secret sauce made with mayo, relish, horseradish, mustard, Worcestershire, and Crystal hot sauce.

Along the way, the conversation veers delightfully off course — from condiment loyalties and Super Bowl habits to fashion hot takes, airport pajamas, restaurant sharing etiquette, and the underrated magic of Parmesan rinds. Clinton officially declares the Gay Soup Diet dead, Carla waxes poetic about potato rolls, and Nick earns a double smash complete with full "meat lace."

The episode wraps with Super Bowl hosting ideas, a shoutout to Taste of the NFL, sponsor love, and a fan giveaway featuring Michael's Simply Symon Suppers cookbook. Loud, delicious, and completely unfiltered — this is Chewed Up at full volume.

It's the final day of Bean Week, and Clinton Kelly is taking full responsibility for unleashing it on the internet. What started as a scrappy, high-fiber experiment ends with one of the most chaotic, joyful episodes of Chewed Up yet.

Clinton proves that beans deserve a permanent place in weeknight cooking with his lightning-fast Chickpea and Spinach Pasta—crispy chickpeas, garlicky greens, and a creamy hummus-based sauce that skips the cream without sacrificing flavor. It's cheap, fast, and unapologetically practical.

Then things take a turn.

Broadway composer and longtime friend Zina Goldrich joins the kitchen to "button up" Bean Week the only logical way possible: with perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookies and fully original musical numbers written for each host. What follows is part cooking show, part cabaret, part therapy session, and fully unhinged in the best way.

Between cookies, pasta, impromptu songs, and a brutally honest round of Chew It or Screw It, the episode celebrates creativity, failure, friendship, and the idea that sometimes the best food (and ideas) come from just showing up and trying.

Bean Week ends not with a whimper—but with jazz hands.

Bean Week rolls on with zero trends, zero gimmicks, and one of Michael Symon's all-time favorite comfort dishes: Pasta Fagioli.

In this deeply nostalgic episode, Michael walks Clinton Kelly and Carla Hall through his old-school, soul-warming version of the Italian-American classic—thick enough to blur the line between soup and stew, and absolutely designed to be eaten with bread instead of a spoon. Along the way, the trio debates how to pronounce "pasta fazool," why peasant food will always beat trendy food, and how the best family recipes are rarely written down.

As the beans simmer and the pancetta renders, the conversation drifts into family cooking traditions, immigrant kitchens, and the emotional power of food made with love. Michael shares stories of his Greek-Italian upbringing, Carla talks about cooking by feel instead of measurements, and Clinton champions simple classics over flashy plates.

The episode wraps with an unapologetically aggressive Parmesan topping, a generous glug of olive oil, crusty bread for dipping, and the collective agreement that this is the kind of dish you make when you want to take care of people.

Comfort food. No ego. No trends. Just beans, pasta, and heart.
