Michael Symon reveals the secret to perfect bratwurst every single time—and it's not what you think. In this episode of Michael's 101, the hosts discover why poaching before grilling is the game-changer for juicy, perfectly cooked sausages that never split.

Michael Symon joins Clinton Kelly and Carla Hall to break down bratwurst and Eastern European sausage techniques. Learn the two-step cooking method (poaching in beer, stock, or sauerkraut, then finishing on the grill), why this prevents dry, mealy results, and how to build flavor with different poaching liquids. Plus, Michael settles the great condiment debate once and for all: mustard only—never ketchup.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Carla Hall welcome Christina Miros back to the kitchen to squeeze in one last taste of summer with her Greek-inspired feta-stuffed squash blossoms. Instead of the traditional ricotta filling, Christina puts a Greek spin on them with feta, mozzarella, fresh dill, mint, pickled cherry peppers, and lemon zest, then fries them in an incredibly light tempura batter and finishes them with lemon and a drizzle of honey.

As Christina cooks, she breaks down the tricks to making great tempura at home: keeping your liquids ice cold, using vodka and club soda for a light, airy coating, resisting the urge to overmix, and frying at the right temperature. She also explains why feta packed in brine is worth buying, while Michael shares one of his favorite ways to repurpose that leftover feta brine.

Then Christina sticks around for a round of Chew It or Screw It, weighing in on BYOB, shoes in the house, assigned dinner-party seating, pulling an all-nighter to cook, and the very real phenomenon of "Greek time." Along the way, Michael, Carla, and Christina talk favorite fried foods, kitchen icks, the one food they could eat forever, childhood cookout traditions, and the dishes they love that everyone else thinks are weird.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly are back for a second frozen pizza taste test, putting six frozen pizzas to the test to find out which ones are actually worth keeping in your freezer. They compare crust, chew, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, fresh versus dried herbs, and whether any of them can come close to the kind of pizza they actually want to eat.

As they work through the lineup, some pizzas are too doughy, too sweet, under-seasoned, or overloaded with dried herbs, while others surprise them with a crisp, properly blistered crust and fresh mozzarella. By the end, the group debates whether better dough or better toppings matter more when choosing the winner.

Then Clinton makes his go-to homemade Caesar salad dressing with garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon, Worcestershire, lemon, olive oil, Parmesan, and plenty of black pepper - the perfect side for pizza night. Along the way, they talk favorite New York slices, tableside dining, nostalgic snacks, pantry staples, and why pizza and salad will always beat doubling down on starch.
