Episode Description

This episode brings the Chewed Up crew to Miami for a high-energy, audience-filled show packed with laughs, games, and bright, citrus-forward cooking. Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly kick things off with their signature unfiltered banter before diving into a lively round of “Chew It or Screw It,” where the audience weighs in on wild Florida foods like iguana pizza, python sausage, and alligator ribs.

Carla Hall then takes the lead with a refreshing pineapple–lime agua fresca infused with ginger, showcasing a simple, vibrant mocktail that can easily be turned into a cocktail with rum or tequila. The drink highlights bright citrus flavors and easy batching techniques perfect for entertaining.

Clinton follows with a quick, seasonal citrus salsa that swaps tomatoes for fresh oranges, jalapeño, red onion, and herbs—proving that winter citrus can deliver bold, fresh flavor. The dish comes together in minutes and works as both a dip and a topping for proteins like grilled fish or chicken.

The episode continues with interactive audience games, giveaways, and candid conversations about cooking mistakes, kitchen confidence, and simple techniques for beginner cooks. It’s a perfect blend of entertainment and practical cooking inspiration, all delivered with the crew’s signature humor and chemistry.
