In The Chew season 5 episode 105, titled "Delicious Disco Brunch," the hosts take viewers on a culinary journey to create a Sunday brunch that's out of this world. The theme for the episode is inspired by the disco era, and the hosts don their best disco gear as they dance and cook up a storm.
The show kicks off with Clinton Kelly showcasing his disco dance moves, setting the tone for the rest of the episode. He then moves on to whipping up a delicious brunch cocktail called the Bee's Knees, which is made with gin, honey, lemon juice, and orange blossom water. Viewers looking for a non-alcoholic option can try Daphne Oz's strawberry and mint iced tea.
Next up, Carla Hall shares her recipe for disco biscuits, which are smothered in a homemade sausage gravy. She also makes a side of garlic and herb roasted potatoes, perfect for soaking up the gravy. Michael Symon follows with his take on French toast, which he calls the "disco inferno French toast." He makes the dish with brioche bread, a custard mixture, and his secret ingredient: Nutella.
The hosts then take a break from cooking to play a game called "Sing It to Win It." One of the hosts sings a song, and the others have to guess the name of the song and artist. The winner gets to sample a special dish made by the chefs.
Back in the kitchen, Clinton is back with his main dish: a disco fried chicken and waffles. He uses a spicy seasoning mix to give the chicken some heat and drizzles a sweet honey mustard glaze over the top. Daphne follows with a dish that's both healthy and satisfying: a tomato and feta salad with a side of quinoa and Greek yogurt.
Carla then takes center stage once again with her famous sweet potato pie. She shows viewers how to make a homemade crust and filling, and even shares a few tips on how to make the perfect pie every time. Finally, Michael wraps things up with his healthy and flavorful disco-inspired smoothie bowl. He combines frozen berries, almond milk, and protein powder to create a quick and easy breakfast that's full of nutrients.
Throughout the episode, the hosts joke, dance, and tease each other, making for a fun and entertaining watch. They also share their personal tips and tricks for making brunch more enjoyable, such as hosting a disco-themed brunch party or using fresh herbs to add flavor to dishes. Overall, "Delicious Disco Brunch" is a must-watch for anyone looking to up their brunch game or inject some fun into their cooking routine.
