In this lively, sun-soaked episode of Chewed Up, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly welcome the hilarious and wildly creative Damaris Phillips to the kitchen. Set poolside at the W Hotel during SOBE, the group dives into a playful, Southern-inspired take on classic tea sandwiches.

Damaris introduces three nostalgic and flavor-packed spreads: pimento cheese, Benedictine (a creamy cucumber-dill spread), and ham salad. What starts as a refined “afternoon tea” concept quickly turns into a chaotic, triple-decker sandwich experiment as the hosts layer all three spreads into one outrageous creation.

Along the way, the group shares stories, debates controversial food takes in a round of “Chew It or Screw It,” and leans into their signature humor and chemistry. Damaris breaks down how simple these spreads are to make (or even buy), proving that anyone can build a beautiful and delicious sandwich board without cooking.

The episode wraps with a fan giveaway featuring Damaris’ iconic thrift store kitchen finds and a heartfelt moment reflecting on friendship, authenticity, and what makes their bond so strong.
