Chewed UP

The No-Cook Burrata Appetizer You'll Make All Summer

Episode Description from the Publisher

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly welcome guest and co-host Chef Jackie "Sparkles" Bakula back to the kitchen for a summer appetizer that looks elegant without asking for much: creamy burrata topped with frozen strawberries grated into a light, icy "strawberry snow," then finished with balsamic glaze, flaky sea salt, fresh basil, black pepper, and garlicky toast.   It is cold, creamy, sweet, savory, and exactly the kind of dish to make when it is too hot to cook but you still want something beautiful on the table. Jackie also shares why she stopped chasing viral food trends, started cooking what she genuinely wanted to eat with her family, and finally found her own voice online.   Along the way, they play Crave It, Save It or Skip It with summer drinks, cocktails, and movies; debate iced coffee culture and the worst possible way to encounter a shark; revisit some of their favorite, and most questionable, dishes from The Chew; and talk about the family, restaurant, food-brand, home-renovation, and writing projects they are excited about next.   🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:   Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.com   FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.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.
