The Chew Raiders Of the Lost Fridge & Michael Symon Seared Strip Steak

The Chew: Raiders Of the Lost Fridge

Clinton Kelly was the host of a competition called Raiders of the Lost Fridge, where two audience members competed against each other for the chance to cook alongside Michael Symon. Clinton Kelly and the contestants were all dressed like Indiana Jones and Clinton snapped his whip every once in a while.

Contestants were asked questions about food and the answers were in a refrigerator they had to run to. Contestants were supposed to take the correct food out of the fridge and run back with the food. All of the food the contestants grabbed were used for Michael’s meal. A woman named Bobbie was the winner of Raiders of the Lost Fridge.

She cooked alongside Michael and seemed to be having a great time. She told Michael she had two children in their 20’s who didn’t like the food she cooked when she was young, but were grateful for a good meal now. Michael Symon said she should try cooking this meal for them.
