The Chew: Chewer Vs Viewer Carla Hall Rhurbarb Berry Slab Pie Recipe

The Chew: Chewer Vs Viewer Day 3 Carla Hall Vs Mimi Kozma

It’s day three of Chewer Vs Viewer on the Chew and Carla Hall took on Mimi Kozma. Carla’s dish of choice for the challenge was her delicious Rhubarb Berry Slab Pie.

The three judges for the challenge were founder of Jacques Torres Chocolate, Jacques Torres, as well as two audience members Korbi and Crystal. Jacque thought that Carla should have to make her pie with one hand behind her back in order to make it more even.

So what did the judges think after tasting Carla’s slab pie? Korbi thought it was great and said that she had never had rhubarb so it was a great experience. Jacque said that he liked the crust and the acidity that he got from the rhubarb and the strawberry. He said “this is also something delicious.” Crystal said she liked the crust as well and really liked the “chocolate surprise” at the bottom. But was it enough to win?

All three judges voted Mimi the winner! The “chewer” lost once again!

The Chew: Carla Hall Rhubarb Berry Slab Pie Recipe

Unlike most other pies, this pie is made in a sheet pan. She suggested that in order to keep the crust from getting soggy, spread the chocolate chips on the dough in the bottom of the pan and then add the berries on top second. She also suggested finishing the top of the pie with egg wash and sugar to make the crust even crunchier.

This pie is definitely unique in that by using a sheet pan you end with square pieces. It doesn’t look as much like a pie in my opinion because it lacks the signature triangle shape, but it still sure sounded delicious!
