Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon makes a Father's Day worthy dinner that feels impressive without being overly complicated: grilled pork chops topped with a cherry, pecan, and bourbon gastrique. Along the way, he breaks down how to season pork properly, cook it to the right temperature, and build a sauce that balances sweetness, acidity, richness, and texture. It is juicy, a little smoky, a little sweet, and exactly the kind of dish that looks restaurant level but is still very doable at home.

Today on Chewed Up Bites, Carla Hall gives leftover rotisserie chicken a bold second act with buffalo chicken, a crunchy celery blue cheese slaw, and toasted cornbread underneath. It has everything you want from buffalo wings in a less messy, more buildable bite with heat, tang, crunch, and just enough sweetness from the cornbread.  It is spicy, satisfying, and exactly the kind of leftovers recipe that feels like a real meal instead of an afterthought.    🙌 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, Clinton Kelly gives leftover rotisserie chicken a real second chance with a crunchy, colorful salad packed with red cabbage, carrots, bok choy, scallions, peppers, and a simple sesame soy dressing. It is quick, fresh, satisfying, and exactly the kind of easy lunch that makes leftovers feel like a win instead of an obligation. Along the way, the conversation gets into meal routines, practical lunches, pantry staples, and why not every great salad needs lettuce to work.   🙌 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, Carla, and Clinton are joined by chef Michelle Bernstein in Miami Beach for a crispy, handheld twist on a local classic: Cuban sandwich empanadas. Filled with ham, lechón, Swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard, these take everything people love about a Cuban and turn it into a golden fried bite. Along the way, they talk Miami Beach food culture, Latin flavors, live fire cooking, and why Michelle's version works so well: it keeps the soul of the sandwich while giving it a whole new texture and form.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon makes one of the dishes that followed him for years: a rich rotisserie chicken mac and cheese with goat cheese, fresh rosemary, and rigatoni. What started as a smart way to use leftover rotisserie chicken turned into one of his most requested recipes and a dish that stayed on the menu far longer than he expected. It is creamy, comforting, and surprisingly simple to pull together, especially if you already have chicken in the fridge and want to turn it into something that feels a lot more special. 🙌 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.

With oats, oat milk, chia seeds, and a few smart topping options, this is an easy make-ahead breakfast that helps take the decision making out of busy mornings.  Along the way, the conversation turns to meal prep, portion control, breakfast habits, and the small routines that can make healthy choices feel a lot more manageable. 🙌 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, we take one of the most overhyped dishes out there and turn it into something way more fun: three different avocado toasts from three very different points of view. Michael builds his with herbs, citrus, olive oil, flaky salt, and chile. Clinton goes bright and throwback with grapefruit, red onion, honey, and poppy seeds. Carla keeps it simple and sharp with herbs and crispy shallots. It is part taste test, part argument, and part reminder that avocado toast is only boring if you make it boring.

Today on Chewed Up, we put 8 different salsas head to head to find out which one is actually worth buying. Fresh, jarred, chunky, smooth, mild, hot. We taste them all blind and judge them on balance, texture, freshness, heat, and how well they actually work with chips.  Along the way, we find a few surprises, argue over spice levels, and narrow the whole bracket down to the salsas we would actually buy again.  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, Carla Hall breaks down the biscuit techniques that can actually make your biscuits better. From grated cold butter and smart flour handling to stacking the dough for layers and using a muffin tin for more uniform drop biscuits, this episode is all about the little changes that make a big difference. She also shows how the same exact dough can turn into two completely different biscuits depending on the method, proving that technique matters just as much as the recipe.
