From Sea to Stage: Miami Stone Crab Pasta | Michael Symon Makes Clinton Kelly's Top 10 Dish  
Podcast: Chewed UP
Published On: Fri Mar 13 2026
Description: In this episode of Chewed Up, Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon take the show to Miami Beach during the SOBE Wine & Food Festival, where Michael has performed cooking demos for nearly 25 years. Michael decides to cook something inspired by the location — a bright crab pasta packed with lemon, tarragon, crème fraîche, and buttery toasted breadcrumbs. The dish is designed specifically with Clinton and Carla in mind, blending flavors they love into one irresistible seafood pasta. As the pasta cooks, the trio dives into a lively conversation about food tourism, favorite comedy movies, and what makes a restaurant truly great — even when it's a tourist destination. Michael also shares tips on how to properly cook pasta, why crème fraîche works better than butter in some sauces, and how to keep delicate crab the star of the dish. Once the pasta is tossed together with jumbo lump crab and finished with crispy lemon-chive panko crumbs, the hosts rave about how the light sauce allows the seafood to shine. The episode wraps with fan mail questions, a discussion about Chinese takeout orders, and a lively audience giveaway featuring Michael Symon's mustard and bourbon tasting trays. 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes Timestamps 00:00 — Michael's cooking origin story 01:00 — Live from the SOBE Wine & Food Festival in Miami 02:00 — Michael introduces the crab pasta dish 03:30 — How to properly salt pasta water 05:00 — Building the sauce with brown butter and shallots 07:00 — Toasting lemon-chive panko breadcrumbs 09:00 — Adding pasta water and developing the sauce 10:00 — Crab meat and fresh tarragon join the pan 13:00 — Why crème fraîche works for seafood sauces 15:00 — Tasting the crab pasta 16:30 — Plating with crispy lemon breadcrumbs 18:00 — Clinton and Carla rave about the dish 19:30 — Fan mail questions 21:00 — Favorite Chinese takeout orders 22:00 — Lessons about success and restaurant culture 23:00 — Frontgate sponsor mention 24:00 — Audience giveaways 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show. https://frontgate.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.
