Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome The Big Brunch finalist, Hungry Gnome founder, and bestselling cookbook author Danielle Sepsy for a full-on summer baking episode. Danielle makes an ultra-moist strawberry lemonade loaf with bright lemon flavor, a soft pound cake-like crumb, and a thick pink glaze made with freeze-dried strawberries. It is sweet, tart, colorful, and exactly the kind of snack cake that works with morning coffee, afternoon tea, or whenever you need a little taste of summer. Along the way, Danielle shares the professional techniques she has learned from producing more than 15,000 baked goods a day, including rubbing lemon zest into sugar to release its oils, combining butter and oil for both flavor and moisture, adding extracts directly to the fat, using room-temperature eggs, choosing cake flour for a softer crumb, and baking the loaf low and slow to keep it evenly tender. She also attempts to break Clinton's infamous baking curse while Michael discovers that "fat carries flavor" may be the perfect excuse for gaining weight. The conversation goes far beyond the loaf as Michael recounts his nightmare trip through New York traffic, the group debates whether everyone in Scooby-Doo was high, and Clinton and Danielle revisit childhood television, old-school Entenmann's cakes, and the lost tradition of neighbors stopping by unannounced for coffee. During fan mail, they discuss Clinton's alleged three-minute ab routine, Broadway, why people who do not care about food may be untrustworthy, and the pressure to either eat too much or feel guilty for eating at all. Their conclusion is simple: life is too short not to have the strawberry lemonade loaf. 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/ About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome guest and co-host Chef Jackie "Sparkles" Bakula back to the kitchen for a summer appetizer that looks elegant without asking for much: creamy burrata topped with frozen strawberries grated into a light, icy "strawberry snow," then finished with balsamic glaze, flaky sea salt, fresh basil, black pepper, and garlicky toast. It is cold, creamy, sweet, savory, and exactly the kind of dish to make when it is too hot to cook but you still want something beautiful on the table. Jackie also shares why she stopped chasing viral food trends, started cooking what she genuinely wanted to eat with her family, and finally found her own voice online. Along the way, they play Crave It, Save It or Skip It with summer drinks, cocktails, and movies; debate iced coffee culture and the worst possible way to encounter a shark; revisit some of their favorite, and most questionable, dishes from The Chew; and talk about the family, restaurant, food-brand, home-renovation, and writing projects they are excited about next. 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.com Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/ About Chewed Up: Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

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.
