About this episode
It’s Dessert Day and Carla Hall is serving up nostalgia in a jar with her Banana Pudding Trifles — creamy pastry cream, fresh banana, and shortbread cookies layered to perfection. As she whisks, folds, and schools the guys on salt (“I call it compliments!”), Clinton and Michael derail into a series of chaotic tangents about Halloween costumes, road rage, and kitchen gadgets they’re ashamed to own. Michael defends his anti-air-fryer stance, Carla fights for her Samsung phone sponsorship dreams, and Clinton admits he flips people off on the highway. Along the way, they trade cooking wisdom — from tempering eggs to the myth of “sealing in juices” — before Carla reveals her secret ingredient obsession: malted milk powder. The episode wraps with the reveal of a rare Carla Hall apron giveaway (complete with pink corn fabric), proving once again that in this kitchen, the laughter is as thick as the pudding. 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes Keywords banana pudding trifle, Carla Hall dessert, banana pudding recipe, viral recipes, pudding jars, shortbread cookies, Halloween baking, Michael Symon, Clinton Kelly, air fryer debate, comfort food podcast, cooking show YouTube Timestamps 0:00 Halloween costumes & Carla’s 3-hour prosthetics 3:00 Childhood memories & why Clinton hates Halloween 6:00 Carla introduces Banana Pudding Trifles 8:00 “Compliments = Salt” and kitchen prep banter 10:00 Michael’s frozen banana hack 12:00 Sponsor shoutouts: Frontgate & All-Clad 13:00 Fan Mail & Air Fryer Wars 16:00 Cooking school lessons and the reverse-sear myth 18:00 Clinton’s road-rage confessions 22:00 Carla finishes the custard and adds butter + vanilla 25:00 Folding whipped cream, layering trifles 28:00 Brûléed banana topping & taste test 30:00 Fan Giveaway: Carla’s limited-edition apron 31:00 Wrap-up & teaser for Monday’s “Cheese Spread” episode 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Frontgate → Stylish serveware and home décor that make our kitchen shine. frontgate.com All-Clad → Premium American-made cookware trusted by chefs since the 1970s. allclad.com Hedley & Bennett → Professional-grade aprons and kitchen tools built for durability and style. hedleyandbennett.com Blues Hog → Champion-level sauces and rubs — “Stay Saucy.” blueshog.com Kitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → anthonycarrino.com Produced by Simple Alien → simplealien.com Camera, Audio & Crew by TV Boy → tvboynyc.com About Chewed Up Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
