About this episode
It’s Fan Fridge Week , and things get unhinged fast when Clinton Kelly is forced to cook using ingredients from a real viewer’s fridge — with a surprise assist from chef Leah Cohen ( Pig & Khao ). What starts as Clinton’s worst nightmare turns into a masterclass in improvisation and Southeast Asian flavor. Leah helps Clinton whip up sweet-and-spicy teriyaki-style chicken wraps using leftover thighs, soy, maple syrup, and sriracha — transforming fridge chaos into something legitimately delicious. Along the way, the crew dives into Leah’s restaurant stories, her Top Chef memories, and her hilarious parenting confessions about picky eaters and dinosaur nuggets. Carla brings the laughs, Michael brings the fire (literally, by toasting tortillas on the burner), and Clinton finally learns to trust the process — with butter. The result? A quick, craveable wrap that everyone devours before they can even clean up. 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes Keywords Leah Cohen, Pig and Khao, Clinton Kelly, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Chewed Up podcast, teriyaki chicken wraps, fan fridge challenge, Asian sauce recipe, sriracha mayo, quick chicken recipes, leftover chicken ideas, maple soy glaze, lettuce wraps, cooking show podcast, comfort food, Southeast Asian flavors, kitchen chaos Timestamps 0:00 – Cold open: Carla admits she eats stranger’s food 1:00 – Welcome to Fan Fridge Week 3:00 – Clinton’s worst nightmare: cooking blind from a fan’s fridge 4:00 – Surprise guest reveal: Leah Cohen joins the chaos 6:00 – Pig & Khao stories + Top Chef flashbacks 8:00 – Building the sauce: soy, maple syrup, sriracha, garlic, ginger 11:00 – The philosophy of cooking from your fridge 13:00 – Leah and Clinton cook and glaze the chicken 16:00 – Sponsor shoutouts (Frontgate, Blues Hog, Casamara Club) 18:00 – Lettuce wraps morph into toasted tortilla wraps 21:00 – Sriracha mayo magic and final plating 25:00 – Leah’s Asian-inspired Thanksgiving sides 30:00 – Judging food, honesty, and constructive criticism 37:00 – Carla’s lemon pound cake story 39:00 – Michael’s emotional fan giveaway: the Lola & Lolita hook rack 41:00 – Closing banter + outro 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Frontgate → Elevated furniture and entertaining essentials that make every spread look stunning. https://www.frontgate.com Blues Hog → Award-winning sauces and rubs from the Champions’ Choice. https://www.blueshog.com Casamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze. https://www.casamraclub.com All-Clad → Premium cookware crafted in the USA and trusted by chefs everywhere. https://www.allclad.com Hedley & Bennett → Professional-grade aprons and kitchen gear built for pros and passionate cooks alike. https://www.hedleyandbennett.com Kitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.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.
