Carla Hall’s Wild Watermelon Ceviche | Miami Heat and the Freshest Summer Dish Ever

Описание: This episode of Chewed Up finds Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon recording live from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, celebrating its 25th anniversary. The trio reflects on nearly two decades of friendship and television history while soaking in the chef-spring-break atmosphere of Miami.
Michael kicks things off with a story about his dog Norman escaping in Los Angeles and the surprising community effort that helped bring him home. The conversation quickly turns into classic Chewed Up chaos — stories about lost pets, menopause brain fog, air fryer debates, and the realities of life and marriage after decades in the food world.
In the kitchen, Carla Hall introduces a refreshing vegetarian twist on ceviche: a Watermelon–Buttermilk “Ceviche.” Inspired by Miami’s heat and vibrant flavors, the dish combines diced watermelon with cucumber, jalapeño, herbs, and a tangy buttermilk-lime dressing. The result is bright, cooling, sweet, spicy, and slightly creamy — perfect for warm weather or festival snacking.
Carla demonstrates her efficient watermelon-cutting technique while explaining the inspiration behind the dish and the classic principles of ceviche. The hosts taste the dish and immediately agree it’s a vibrant summer appetizer that works beautifully with crispy plantain or cassava chips.
The episode also features fan mail, audience giveaways, and a celebration of the show’s independent format — where the hosts can finally say whatever they want, cook what they want, and show the brands they actually love.
