Chewed UP

It's six days before Christmas, the kitchen is freezing, the heater is broken, and somehow the Chewed Up crew thought this was the perfect moment for a cookie swap. Bold move.

Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon dive headfirst into one of the most dangerous holiday traditions known to humankind: trading cookies. Fans submitted recipes, the hosts picked their favorites, and each brought a deeply personal cookie to the table—Michael's nostalgic pignoli cookies, Carla's soft-and-chewy lemon ginger crinkle cookies, and Clinton's classic chocolate-dipped butter cookies.

What follows is a masterclass in why live cooking plus cold temperatures plus piping bags equals chaos. Clinton battles frozen dough, frozen eggs, and his own sanity. Carla calmly explains technique while finishing cookies like a professional. Michael thrives in the disorder, introduces an on-the-fly Christmas Cookie edition of Chew It or Screw It, and watches Clinton unravel in real time.

Along the way, the trio debates overrated Christmas movies, controversial cookie opinions, internet comments that should've stayed in drafts, and why cookie swaps are emotionally risky. The episode ends with a massive Goldbelly fan giveaway, proving that even when everything goes sideways, Chewed Up still delivers.

Holiday spirit: present.

Execution: questionable.

Entertainment value: extremely high.

This Chewed UP episode drops us straight into holiday mode — Carla is on a numerology bender, Clinton is still recovering from a decades-old "end cut" customer meltdown, and Michael is laser-focused on the only thing that matters this week: a perfect, deeply flavored, foolproof holiday prime rib.

Michael walks Clinton and Carla through his signature method — seasoning the rib a day ahead, removing the bones to use as the roasting rack, layering garlic, thyme, and rosemary into an "aromatic bed," and choosing between a slow roast followed by a blast of heat, or a classic high-temp roast. There's a MasterClass-level breakdown on thermometers, fat rendering, resting times, and why Prime Rib should not be served "still mooing."

Then comes the sauce segment — Clinton and Carla are downright feral over Michael's horseradish sauce, and the trio devolves into a debate about sauerkraut, gut health, and "background funk." Michael builds a glossy Pop Mustard Jus, balancing beef stock, mustard seeds, butter, and balsamic for a tangy, rich finish that the hosts cannot stop spooning over everything.

The conversation veers through holiday dining stress, French dip nostalgia, waiter PTSD, glitter-packed Christmas cards, and Clinton's theory that everyone should work in restaurants before allowed into society. Carla tries to reset the room with numerology ("It's a nine year — shed your emotional skin!"), and Michael refuses to do math.

The episode wraps with a double fan giveaway — two customized Frontgate aprons — and one very messy cutting board full of prime rib bones that Michael absolutely does not plan to share.

Carla demos her Brown Sugar–Mustard Holiday Ham, complete with pineapple-brown-sugar glaze and a clove-studded finish. Jackie shares stories from America's Got Talent, international touring, and the horrors of indifferent audiences.

The cast dives into Christmas songs, brunch arguments, airplane-clapping etiquette, and why store-bought ham glaze should be a prosecutable offense. Michael and Clinton help Jackie poach her first egg on camera, resulting in pure Chewed Up chaos.

Clinton slices five apples thinner than a therapy co-pay and builds an Invisible Apple Cake — a custardy, apple-forward dessert that defies logic and TikTok trends. Carla and Michael weigh in on viral cooking traps, emotional kitchen moments, and party-etiquette crimes while the crew spirals into holiday-season honesty.

Featured Recipe: Invisible Apple Cake — apples sliced ultra-thin, folded into a light batter, baked until the layers melt into a custard-like slab of fall flavor. Perfect for dessert fanatics, skeptics, and anyone who thinks they "don't like baking."

Carla builds a full vegetarian main from a single cauliflower — buttery roasted steaks, a velvety purée made from the leftover florets, and a deeply savory herbed gravy. Meanwhile, Clinton and Michael derail into a Christmas-movie tournament, a "bean week" pitch, emotional support celery, Dutch oven war stories, and a fan-mail debate on chain restaurants.

The result? A dish that proves cauliflower can absolutely be the star of the holiday reset menu.

Amy Sedaris joins Clinton, Carla, and Michael for an absolutely unmanageable half hour of Greek food, pine-cone crafting, and comedic gold.

Michael teaches his technique for Spanakopita Triangles—sautéing fresh spinach, mixing salty Greek feta with dill, scallions, pine nuts, and a little garlic, then folding and buttering phyllo "like little footballs" before baking.

Meanwhile, Clinton and Amy build gnome ornaments using pine cones, fabric glue, googly eyes, and sheer chaos. The group plays Chew It or Screw It, answers fan mail, and Amy picks our weekly giveaway winner.

Liz Symon crashes the kitchen and instantly takes over — in the best way. She bakes her famous Orange Olive Oil Cake, bosses around Michael, reminisces about marriage mishaps, Wordle dominance, and accidental poisoning attempts, and gets Clinton and Carla cackling. The cake? Foolproof, citrusy, incredibly moist, and easily the quietest the hosts have ever been on camera. They finish with Casamara Club sodas, fan mail, a spooky giveaway coincidence, and Liz proving she runs the Symon household wherever she goes.

It's peak Chewed Up: guests, gossip, cake, chaos, and zero filter.

Holiday Reset Week rolls on, and Clinton storms into the kitchen wielding dough, meats, and a questionable amount of confidence. Today he's making a Stromboli Wreath — a holiday showstopper straight from his seventh-grade memories working in his family's upscale pork store. Yes, Clinton has apparently been stuffing sausage casings since age 13, and Michael is personally offended he never mentioned it. Chaos ensues.

As Clinton stretches store-bought pizza dough (frozen, defrosted, zero shame), the crew spirals into flashbacks: Clinton burning himself with glue guns, Michael's Midwestern "pizza bread" heritage, and Carla's traumatic relationship with molten pizza rolls. They layer provolone, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, and oregano before rolling the whole thing into a log and dropping it — curveball — into a Bundt pan to bake into a holiday wreath.

Rossi the dog tries to steal salami. Michael insists Stromboli should be eaten naked (no marinara). Carla double-dips without remorse. Clinton throws basil at the finished wreath and calls it "decoration." It works.

After slicing into the golden, glossy Stromboli, they crack open Señorita's lime–jalapeño THC margarita for a mid-episode holiday buzz discussion: aging, hangovers, kids at Christmas, avoiding phones, surviving New York City, and why Michael once peeled grapes for a month as part of "chef hazing."

The episode wraps with a Frontgate "Chef Symon Ice Bucket" Giveaway + $100 Señorita gift card, fan mail, and a reminder that Clinton is — officially — the Stromboli King of Long Island.

Michael Symon gets voluntold into another Fan Fridge Challenge, this time raiding Jenna G's Staten Island fridge packed with feta, mortadella, olives, chili crunch, and an obscene amount of cottage cheese—his personal kryptonite. Forced to face it, he builds a cottage-cheese–based dip while the blender fights back, Clinton gives play-by-play, and Carla heckles him about lemon seeds.

As the dip slowly comes together, Michael fries potatoes, shaves carrots, toasts pita over the burner, and turns mortadella into shockingly good "meat chips." Fan questions roll in mid-chaos, covering flat cookies, dishwasher rules, and why mortadella isn't just fancy bologna.

Against all odds, the dip works—and it's delicious. The Caraway giveaway winner is announced, and Michael plates a full holiday appetizer board pulled entirely from a Fan's Fridge. Total chaos. Total Chewed Up.

The Chewed Up crew tackles Black Friday with two knockout leftover transformations.

Michael whips up a savory Leftover Stuffing & Turkey Frittata, crisping the stuffing into a crust and pouring in a rich egg mixture for the ultimate brunch rescue mission.

Carla turns leftover pecan pie into Frozen Pecan Pie Ice Cream Wedges with Chocolate Shell, slicing ice cream straight out of the carton and pouring on magic shell that hardens instantly.

The episode also detours into airplane food crimes, mayo brand loyalty, childhood ice cream memories, and a rare instance of Clinton doing the truffle shuffle.
