Chef Michael Symon — star of 24 in 24 and Chewed Up — is back where he's always been at his best: outside by the grill, apron on, cooking for the people he loves. Simply Symons brings Michael, his wife and restaurant partner Liz, and their family friend Olivia together for the kind of relaxed cooking that only happens with family and friends — sometimes in the backyard, sometimes in the kitchen, always without a rulebook. Each episode, Michael brings the food and Liz brings the drink, and together they nail the pairing every time. Real recipes, real flavors, and the unscripted moments that only happen when great cooks welcome you into their home.
