Supermarket Brownie Taste Test—The Best One Is…
Supermarket Brownie Taste Test—The Best One Is…  
Podcast: Chewed UP
Published On: Fri Feb 20 2026
Description: In this "anything goes" episode, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly ditch traditional cooking and dive into a bracket-style taste test of eight boxed brownie mixes to determine the ultimate supermarket pick. Inspired by sports-style elimination rounds, the hosts sample brownies head-to-head, debating fudginess, cakiness, moisture, chocolate intensity, and even the eternal "center vs corner" debate. As the competition unfolds, different styles rise and fall based on texture, flavor, and overall chocolate satisfaction. The trio compares classic, cakey brownies with dense, ultra-fudgy options while revealing how small differences in ingredients and preparation can dramatically change the final result. With brand reveals, nostalgic reactions, and plenty of laughs along the way, the episode delivers a fun, practical guide to navigating the brownie aisle. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Intro + "Anything Goes" week explained 01:30 – Brownie bracket rules + center vs corner debate 03:30 – Round 1: A vs B 06:00 – Round 1: C vs D 07:30 – Round 1: E vs F 09:30 – Round 1: G vs H 11:30 – Semi-finals begin 12:00 – B vs D 13:30 – F vs H 15:00 – Final showdown: D vs H 20:00 – Brand reveals 23:00 – Winner announced 24:00 – Fan giveaway details 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door https://www.freshdirect.com 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.
