Episode Eight
French Onion Soup… as a Sandwich?!
Clinton serves up French Onion Tartines — all the cozy, cheesy comfort of soup, no spoon required. The crew debates open-faced sandwiches, fancy ingredients, and the fine line between a bro hug and a hair hug.

Premieres: Wednesday Oct. 8th
In This Episode:​
-
Clinton transforms classic French onion soup into Open-Faced French Onion Tartines—a toasty, melty twist loaded with caramelized onions, Boursin, and Gruyère.
-
The trio debates whether an “open-faced sandwich” really counts as a sandwich—or if calling it a tartine just adds $12 to the price tag.
-
Carla declares the dish “so perfect” and confesses she’s burning her mouth because she can’t wait to eat it.
-
Michael crowns it one of Clinton’s best creations, reminisces about French bistros in New York, and sparks a tangent about food that smells amazing vs. food that smells awful as a candle.
-
The crew swaps hilarious first-time food stories from The Chew—including Clinton learning what a Grandma Slice is, Michael defending the “hot dog is a sandwich” argument, and Carla’s “hair hug” revelation that turns into a heartfelt talk about personal boundaries and Black women’s hair.
-
Plus, Michael gives away a signed copy of his cookbook Symon’s Dinners Cooking Out to one lucky fan from Brooklyn—unless, of course, it’s the woman who once called Clinton “fatter in person.”
