This episode brings chef Amanda Freitag into the kitchen for a lively, flavor-packed session with Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon. The crew cooks a bright, buttery lemon spaghetti that proves simple ingredients can deliver big flavor, then pivots to rich, decadent chocolate truffles that feel special but are surprisingly approachable to make at home.

Along the way, the conversation moves from restaurant stories and cooking techniques to hosting, comfort food, and the joy of making meals that feel elevated without being complicated. Amanda shares insight from her years in professional kitchens while the hosts keep the energy fun, candid, and unfiltered.

The result is an episode that blends practical cooking tips with personality-driven conversation — perfect for anyone who loves approachable recipes with chef-level flavor and a side of laughter.
