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.

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.

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.
