CARLA MAKES SHEPHERD'S PIE | A Fan Fridge Comfort Food Challenge

This episode marks a milestone moment for Chewed Up as Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon celebrate the show’s momentum with a full-blown Fan Fridge for the 50th episode—and this one delivers. Pulled from a viewer’s fridge in Ohio, the ingredients scream Midwest practicality: ground beef, mashed potatoes, cheese, vegetables, and condiments galore.Carla takes the reins, steering the chaos toward comfort by building a Shepherd’s Pie–inspired casserole, layering deeply browned beef, aromatic vegetables, herbs, and creamy mashed potatoes finished under the broiler. Along the way, the hosts spiral (productively) into conversations about road rage, kindness, kitchen discipline, mise en place, appliance overload, and why not every trend belongs on your countertop.The episode balances sharp humor with genuine warmth, landing on what Chewed Up does best: turning everyday food into something satisfying, approachable, and deeply human. It’s messy, funny, oddly philosophical—and one of the strongest Fan Fridge wins yet.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTimestamps (YouTube & Spotify)00:00 — Episode 150 celebration + Fan Fridge setup02:10 — What’s in the Ohio fridge04:30 — Carla commits to comfort food06:00 — Road rage, kindness, and public etiquette12:40 — Mise en place explained (and defended)17:00 — Building the beef base + seasoning22:30 — Mashed potatoes get upgraded28:40 — Broiler finish + plating31:00 — Tasting and verdict37:00 — Final thoughts + sign-off🙌 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 show.https://frontgate.comCaraway → Non-toxic cookware, even heating, easy cleanup, up to 20% off for the holidays.https://carawayhome.com/chewedupCanopy by Hilton → A lifestyle hotel brand by Hilton that aims to provide a local experience.https://www.hilton.com/en/canopyProduction CreditsKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.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.
