Rating: Explicit Published On: Wed Mar 04 2026
Description: It’s Home Alone Week on Chewed Up, and the hosts reveal what they actually cook when nobody else is around — no dinner parties, no expectations, just pure comfort food cravings.Carla Hall shocks Clinton Kelly and Michael Symon by going all-in on her ultimate solo indulgence: spiralized hot dogs topped with a rich, bean-less chili inspired by Detroit-style Coney dogs. What starts as a simple hot dog turns into a masterclass in texture, nostalgia, and flavor engineering.Along the way, the trio dives into the idea of “fun food” — the meals that bring joy whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or your inner child. From pimped-out cereal creations and homemade sundaes to Nutella sandwiches and decadent cheese nights, the conversation swings between culinary technique and hilarious personal stories.Listeners also learn surprising food history (Detroit — not Coney Island — as the home of the Coney dog), cooking recovery tricks when recipes go sideways, and why spiralizing a hot dog creates maximum crispy edges and topping distribution.Grab the full recipe + more at:https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to Chewed Up01:00 – Home Alone Week theme revealed02:00 – Carla’s hot dog obsession explained03:00 – What is a Detroit Coney Dog?06:30 – How to spiralize a hot dog10:00 – “Fun food” confessions begin12:00 – Pimp-My-Cereal stories15:00 – Chili techniques & flavor building17:00 – Roller coaster debate18:30 – Cooking the spiral dogs20:00 – Why spiral cuts change the texture22:00 – Dubai COVID story chaos24:00 – Finishing the chili with butter25:00 – Ready to eat🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the showhttps://frontgate.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/🍽️ About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
