Chewed UP

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.
