Chewed UP

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. From childhood memories of digging little neck clams in Port Jefferson to stories from his restaurant days, Clinton shares the dish that connects him most to home while showing how to make a simple, briny, buttery clam sauce packed with garlic, parsley, white wine, and fresh clams.

Along the way, Michael and Carla weigh in on restaurant menus, hot sauce people, and other strong opinions before jumping into a game called Clinton or Clam. It is part comfort food, part hometown storytelling, and part total chaos in the best way.

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.

This episode brings the Chewed Up crew to Miami for a high-energy, audience-filled show packed with laughs, games, and bright, citrus-forward cooking. 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. It's a perfect blend of entertainment and practical cooking inspiration, all delivered with the crew's signature humor and chemistry.

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.
