This episode dives headfirst into Valentine’s Week with Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon talking love, dating pressure, and how food plays into romance. Clinton cooks his “Sexy Time Chicken,” a bone-in roasted chicken with a tarragon beurre blanc designed to impress on date night.

The hosts reflect on how expectations shift depending on where you are in a relationship — from early dating nerves to decades-long partnerships — and how romance evolves over time.

They’re joined by relationship expert and Tinder’s resident expert Devyn Simone, who shares insights from dating culture today, including the importance of communication, emotional honesty, and shared values. She breaks down modern dating behaviors like ghosting and “situationships,” explaining how younger generations are increasingly prioritizing intentional relationships and clear expectations.

The conversation blends humor and honesty: from texting etiquette after hookups to whether cooking on a first date is romantic or too intimate. Meanwhile, Clinton walks viewers through making beurre blanc from scratch and plating a confident, restaurant-level meal at home.

It’s a mix of comfort food, real relationship advice, and chaotic kitchen energy — all in time for Valentine’s Day.
