For Hometown Week, Carla Hall brings an old school Nashville favorite to the table: the hot fish sandwich. This is not Nashville hot chicken. It is the classic version Carla grew up with: crispy fried catfish on white bread with yellow mustard, hot sauce, onions, and pickles.

Along the way, Carla, Michael, and Clinton talk about old Nashville, hometown food memories, community, and the kind of places where you waited for your food and actually talked to people. It is a simple sandwich with a lot of history behind it, and one bite brings Carla right back to childhood.

For Hometown Week, Clinton Kelly brings a taste of Long Island to the table with one of his all time favorite dishes: spaghetti with white clam sauce. From childhood memories of digging little neck clams in Port Jefferson to stories from his restaurant days, Clinton shares the dish that connects him most to home while showing how to make a simple, briny, buttery clam sauce packed with garlic, parsley, white wine, and fresh clams.

Along the way, Michael and Carla weigh in on restaurant menus, hot sauce people, and other strong opinions before jumping into a game called Clinton or Clam. It is part comfort food, part hometown storytelling, and part total chaos in the best way.

Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly, and Michael Symon go head-to-head in a March Madness-style frozen pizza bracket challenge — tasting 8 supermarket pizzas to crown the ultimate winner. Which childhood classic holds up? Which one gets eliminated first? The trio battles nostalgia, bad crusts, and strong opinions to find out which store-bought pizza is actually worth buying.

Spring has officially entered the kitchen, and the crew is leaning all the way in. Michael, Carla, and Clinton kick things off with a spirited debate—everything from whether expensive ingredients make you a better cook to whether recipes should ever be “secret.”

Then things get even better when Carla introduces her culinary producer and longtime friend, Ariane Duarte, who brings serious flavor (and personality) into the mix. From Top Chef stories to behind-the-scenes realities of cooking competitions, Ariane shares how those experiences shaped her—and how food has always been about connection and joy.

In the kitchen, Ariane walks the hosts through a build-your-own crostini situation that’s equal parts elevated and approachable. Starting with homemade focaccia and whipped ricotta, the group layers on bright, seasonal toppings—think smashed peas with herbs, blistered vegetables, and strawberries with balsamic and almonds. The result? A perfect spring entertaining dish that’s flexible, beautiful, and packed with flavor.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a round of Chew It or Screw It, fan mail, and a few wildly off-topic (but hilarious) tangents—because on Chewed Up, the conversation is just as important as the food.

Featuring guest Ariane Duarte
