Chris is joined by Rachel Khong and John deBary to discuss watermelon. Do seeded ones taste better? How do you pick a good one? This episode’s recipe is for a delightful drink called mohabbat ka sharbat—a refreshing floral concoction of watermelon juice, rose syrup, and whole milk. Rachel had to make it in less than 20 minutes. John, completely in his wheelhouse, made a luxe version (the ice cubes he made were $4 each, and it gets crazier). Chris had to tackle the “Double Taxation” challenge by making one of the ingredients completely by hand and also fusing it with Mexican flavors.

From plant-based meat to broccoli to seaweed, Chang and friends are determined to cut through the noise. Each week, they cook one dish, debate it, and ultimately figure out a few ways to make it tastier, too.

Dave and Chris are joined by special guest Dave Arnold to run up the score on his very own Game Day Pork Chili recipe! This is one of those recipes that you can make a huge batch of and be everyone's favorite tailgate buddy. But, as usual, the Recipe Club isn't going to take the easy way out. Dave does a Caribbean-inspired spin based on the true story of Jamaican oxtail, Chris tried an Italian-style fusion, and the guys—kind as ever—insisted that Dave Arnold turn this pork chili dish into a cocktail.
