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.   Special Guest - Christina Miros https://christinamiros.com/ Instagram: @christinamiros   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show. https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door. https://www.freshdirect.com   Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

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.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Feeding America → Help fight hunger in communities across America by donating, volunteering, or taking action during Hunger Action Month. https://www.feedingamerica.org/hungeractionmonth     Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Carla Hall are exploring unexpected flavor combinations that sound unusual at first - and then somehow make perfect sense. Carla puts that idea into practice with a peach galette made with a savory curry crust, ripe peaches, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, lemon, almond, and a little jam to boost the fruit when it needs extra sweetness.   As she builds the galette, Carla and Michael break down why recipes should be treated as guides instead of rigid rules, how to adjust fruit depending on sweetness and acidity, and how one solid dough technique can be adapted into endless sweet or savory variations. The finished galette gets a crisp crust, juicy peaches, and just enough warm curry spice to make the combination unexpected without overpowering the dessert.   Then Michael and Carla turn the theme into a game, pulling random sweet and savory ingredients and improvising dishes on the spot - from sun-dried tomatoes with hot honey to caramelized onions, maple syrup, bourbon, cherries, and pork. Along the way, they also talk favorite cookbooks, underrated ingredients, mixed prints, and why sometimes the best combinations are the ones you never would have thought of yourself.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Carla Hall are joined by legendary pitmaster Myron Mixon for a full masterclass in championship-worthy ribs. Myron breaks down the process from start to finish using ingredients you can actually find at the grocery store, proving that great barbecue doesn't have to be complicated - or require a competition rig in your backyard.   He shares the small techniques that make a huge difference: removing the membrane, trimming St. Louis ribs properly, injecting between the bones, using a neutral oil to hold the rub, tightening the rack before it cooks, spritzing during the smoke, wrapping with apple juice, and heating your sauce before it ever touches the meat. He also explains how to adapt the same method for an oven if you don't have access to a smoker.   Along the way, Myron talks about decades of barbecue competitions, the mentors who taught him how to win, the difference between competition barbecue and cooking at home, and why losing is part of getting better. When the finished ribs finally hit the table, Michael and Carla get a lesson in what truly tender barbecue should look and taste like - and why Myron has earned his reputation as one of the great characters and champions of the barbecue world.   Special Guest- Myron Mixon  https://myronmixon.com/   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Feeding America → Help fight hunger in communities across America by donating, volunteering, or taking action during Hunger Action Month. https://www.feedingamerica.org/hungeractionmonth     Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly put breakfast to the test with a chaotic bagel episode that starts with a viral recipe and quickly goes completely off the rails. Clinton attempts jalapeño popper stuffed bagels filled with cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, jalapeños, and garlic powder, then topped with butter, more cheese, and pickled jalapeños. The concept is simple. Following the instructions is another story.   Once the bagels make it into the oven, the trio turns to a blind tasting of frozen and supermarket bagels to see which ones come closest to the chew, texture, and flavor of a true New York bagel. They compare everything from sesame and onion varieties to plain and egg-style bagels, debating doughiness, salt, richness, chew, and which ones work best with cream cheese versus a full breakfast sandwich. Their surprise favorite for classic bagel texture is Utopia, while a richer challah-style option earns praise as the best vehicle for bacon, egg, and cheese.   Then comes the real test: the stuffed bagels emerge from the oven molten, cheesy, crispy, and somehow much better than expected. Clinton immediately burns his mouth - continuing a tradition Michael says dates back through seven seasons of The Chew - but everyone agrees the recipe works. They decide it makes the most sense as a pull-apart party food or game-day snack rather than a normal weekday breakfast.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Vinted → Buy and sell pre-loved fashion and more on the online secondhand marketplace. https://www.vinted.com   Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome Chef Ari back for a celebration of classic summer sides. Clinton shares two of his most requested recipes: a crunchy homemade coleslaw and his "award-winning" potato salad, both built for backyard barbecues, burgers, hot dogs, and everything else summer has to offer. His recipes are decidedly unscientific - think generous splats of mayonnaise, glugs of apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper with "reckless abandon" - but the results speak for themselves. For the coleslaw, Clinton combines green and purple cabbage, shredded carrots, jalapeño, Dijon, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and plenty of celery seed for a crisp, tangy side that only gets better as it sits. Then he moves on to potato salad made with smashed new potatoes, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, scallions, fresh corn, mustard, mayonnaise, and vinegar - finished with extra toppings so everyone knows exactly what they're getting into. Michael quickly declares it good enough to eat by the bucketful. Once the sides are handled, the conversation turns into a full round of summer hot takes. Clinton goes off on people who reserve hotel pool chairs with towels for hours, Michael argues that parents still need to watch their kids at restaurants and beaches, and the group debates summer fashion, flip-flops, pedicures, bad feet, lobster rolls, Jersey tomatoes, and the summer foods they refuse to go without. During fan mail, Michael and Clinton share the shows and podcasts they recommend constantly, including The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and How Did This Get Made? Michael also reflects on the career he almost pursued before food: coaching wrestling, something he still hopes to return to someday.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com   Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/   About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
