Chewed UP

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome chef Amanda Freitag for a full-on canned tuna episode built around a blind taste test and a tuna salad sandwich that skips the mayo entirely.
 
They put four supermarket tunas head to head, comparing flavor, texture, and salt, and discover that the olive oil packed jars run away with it, including a budget pick that holds its own against tuna three times the price. Then Michael turns the winner into a tuna salad sandwich with romesco, Castelvetrano olives, scallions, flat leaf parsley, lemon zest, sherry vinegar, sliced tomato, and basil on grilled bread. It is briny, bright, and exactly the kind of pantry upgrade that proves canned fish can taste like dinner out. Along the way, they get into olive oil versus water packed tuna, childhood tuna salad traditions, teenage restaurant jobs, pasta water martinis, and a round of two truths and a lie.
 
Plus, Amanda (@chefamandaf) shares her bottled Freitag Cocktails and two fans win copies of Simply Symon Suppers.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome culinary producer Leo Galletto for a full-on ice cream sandwich episode. They start with a blind vanilla ice cream taste test to find the best option for building an ice cream sandwich, comparing flavor, texture, richness, vanilla bean, and how well each one holds up.
 
Then Leo takes things in a summer dessert direction with a chocolate-covered strawberry-inspired ice cream sandwich: double chocolate chip cookies with strawberry jam, strawberry ice cream, chocolate fudge, and freeze-dried strawberries around the edges. It is nostalgic, messy, and exactly the kind of dessert that feels made for warm weather, late nights, and people who take ice cream seriously.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome Ayesha Nurdjaja for a full-on dip episode built around party food, summer snacking, and the joy of a good rip-and-dip spread. Clinton makes a homemade tzatziki with Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon, garlic, dill, and mint, Ayesha brings a grilled corn dip with creamy, herby, sweet-summer flavor, and Michael shares a Cleveland-inspired clam dip with bacon, dill, sour cream, and clam broth.
 
It is the kind of spread that works for game day, summer parties, backyard hangs, or any time you want food that people keep coming back to. Along the way, they talk hummus debates, homemade dips, leftovers, vacation food, and why simple recipes can still feel like the life of the party.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome chef Ayesha Nurdjaja for a picnic-season recipe straight from her family: a potato and egg sandwich on semolina bread. It is simple, nostalgic, and packed with the kind of comfort that makes a beach-day meal feel unforgettable.
Ayesha walks through the Italian-American classic with potatoes, eggs, onions, cheese, parsley, and good bread, while Michael connects it back to his own family memories. Along the way, they talk picnic food, egg sandwiches, American cheese, beach chairs, overhyped foods, and why the simplest dishes are often the ones that stay with you the longest.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome guest co-host Ariane Duarte for an easy summer dinner that looks elegant without asking for much: seared scallops cooked in one pan with sweet corn, tomatoes, shallots, chilies, basil, and a splash of white wine. It is fast, fresh, and exactly the kind of meal that feels right after a long hot day when you still want something beautiful on the table.
Along the way, they get into summer produce, scallop technique, one-pan cooking, and why a simple dish can still feel special when the ingredients are doing the work.
