Chewed UP

It's the day before Thanksgiving, which means half the country is stress-sweating into casseroles—but Carla Hall is here to save everyone's sanity with a dish that doesn't require wrestling a 17-pound bird. Instead, she unveils Turkey Scallopini with Cranberry Gastrique, a fast, elegant, wildly flavorful alternative that tastes like the holiday without hijacking your entire day.

While Carla reduces cranberries with vinegar, honey, and orange zest (with the occasional "boom"), Michael reminisces about Thanksgiving chaos, football traditions, and his deeply emotional relationship with stuffing and corn pudding. Clinton shares his mantra for the holiday: "As long as the gravy is hot, everything's fine." The trio swap their favorite sides, least favorite sides (box potatoes get dragged), and the kitchen-buddy debate escalates into a full-blown philosophical divide.

Fan Mail brings questions about measuring cups vs. scoops, how to toast nuts without burning them (Carla: "Microwave." Michael: "Absolutely not."), and Thanksgiving prep tricks. Clinton also tells a Martha Stewart story so on-brand it practically spritzes linen spray.

Carla pan-sears the turkey cutlets, builds a sage brown butter that has Michael swooning, and finishes the dish like she's plating at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The hosts dive in, declare it perfect, discuss gout for an unreasonably long time, and pull the episode giveaway winner: a Caraway Cutting Board.

They wrap with heartfelt thanks, reminding everyone that whether you're cooking for two or twelve, the point of Thanksgiving is the people… and the sides.

It's Thanksgiving Week on Chewed Up, and Clinton shows up with the one thing Michael Symon never thinks about on a holiday table: a salad. But not just any salad — the salad. The same one Clinton took to The Drew Barrymore Show where Drew declared it her "new favorite." Clinton, in full Salad Prophet mode, walks Michael and Carla through his roasted delicata squash, toasted pepitas, and pumpkin-spice-kissed croutons — or as the crew insists on calling them, "fat breakers."

What follows is peak Chewed Up energy: Carla crunches croutons into the mic until Clinton gets strangely excited, Michael goes on a tirade about why restaurants should toss salads for you, and the trio accidentally rename Thanksgiving greens forever. They also drop hard-earned Thanksgiving prep wisdom — thawing your turkey on time, making stock early, mapping out your oven like a battlefield, and why brining is basically a trap if you want good gravy.

The episode finishes with their Monday giveaway: The Frontgate Stay-Chill Bowl from Michael Symon's Collection, pulled straight from the set and heading to one lucky fan. It's loud, it's unhinged, it's practical, and somehow yes — it's still about salad.

Clinton closes out Pre-Thanksgiving Week with a guest who practically brings a bakery with her: Danielle Sepsy, the legendary "Scone Queen" and owner of The Hungry Gnome. After showing up with six boxes of baked goods (naturally), Danielle jumps straight into teaching the gang how to make her Honey Corn Muffins — the hybrid cupcake-cornbread creation that her cookbook will soon unleash on the world.

The crew dives deep into muffin science, the importance of cake flour, sour cream, and the extremely controversial word moist, all while Danielle drops tip after tip (including why oven temperature shock therapy creates a perfect dome). The episode goes gloriously off-track as Clinton and Danielle reminisce about Long Island culture, Michael reveals a crippling cookie addiction, and Carla unsuccessfully attempts a Long Island accent.

They also play a chaotic round of Chew It or Screw It, debate canned versus homemade cranberry sauce, argue pie vs. cake, and end up deep in Thanksgiving hosting dilemmas. The group answers fan questions, shares the horrors of cursed Jell-O salads, and swaps stories about reheating turkey without destroying it.

And in true Chewed Up fashion, the episode ends with laughs, crumbs everywhere, a Wicked Part 2 tangent, and a massive giveaway: a $75 Hungry Gnome Gift Card. It's carbs, comedy, and pure pre-holiday mania.

On this pre-Thanksgiving Wednesday, the Chewed Up crew dives headfirst into a Fan Fridge from Tammy M. in Chicago — and it's pure chaos in the best way. After some high-level TV and movie debates (Chicago, Pretty Woman, Taskmaster, Landman — they hit everything), Michael finally rolls up his sleeves and faces the fridge: chicken thighs, Italian sausage, peppers, bacon grease, pickled jalapeños, tomato sauce, frozen kale, and about 30 other "what exactly is this doing here?" items.

What follows is a masterclass in improvisation and ratio-based cooking. Michael browns chicken thighs in bacon fat, busts up Italian sausage for a quick sauce, throws in sweet and spicy peppers, splashes in water to lift the fond, and finishes with tomato sauce, butter, basil, and a little fish sauce for umami. It's fast, deeply flavorful, and exactly the kind of dish you make when Thanksgiving collapses in real time.

Along the way, they tackle posture issues, bad luck superstitions, restless legs, tattoo meanings, Browns trauma, the psychology of reframing, and why some people should absolutely not stretch their shirts from Season One. Carla and Clinton heckle, encourage, and philosophize in equal measure — and yes, Clinton sings "Brandy" at the end because Denise from New Jersey demanded it.

The episode ends with a generous Fan Giveaway from Carla: her cookbook, her nesting baking pans, and her okra-flower measuring cups. Chaos, comfort, therapy, and a skillet dinner that actually slaps.

This pre-Thanksgiving episode marks Chewed Up's 25th installment, and the trio arrives in peak form: Michael's stomach is questionable, Clinton is fighting with his glasses, and Carla is unbothered as usual. Once the banter settles, Carla kicks off the week with a fully elevated Green Bean Casserole—a recipe crafted by lifestyle expert and longtime friend Chadwick Boyd, who joins the episode to bring technique, history, and a truckload of caramelized onions.

Chadwick walks through building the dish from scratch: a silky béchamel, Gruyère cheese, French-cut green beans, and the move that takes this dish from retro to remarkable—French Onion Drop Biscuits baked on top. Along the way, the crew dives into the surprisingly emotional backstory of green bean casserole, mashed potato debates, Campbell's Soup nostalgia, and a Meta AI fiasco that falsely announced Michael's divorce.

The episode ends with a bubbling, golden casserole that stops everyone mid-sentence, a fan giveaway reveal featuring a Caraway cast-iron duo plus Chadwick's e-book and T-shirt, and a reminder that sometimes the most comforting dish is the one reinvented with heart.

Fan Fridge Week wraps up with a sweet bang as Carla Hall raids the fridge of Eryca from Glen Burnie, Maryland, and turns a random mix of ingredients — banana bread, berries, cottage cheese, and lemonade — into a brunch-ready masterpiece: Banana Bread French Toast with Lemonade-Berry Compote and Chocolate Greek Yogurt.

It's classic Carla: a little Southern soul, a little improv, and a lot of heart. She whips cottage cheese into a smooth custard with eggs, oat milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon for a high-protein French toast base, then tops it with fresh berries tossed in reduced lemonade syrup. Michael and Clinton can't resist heckling (and taste-testing), especially as Clinton tells a childhood story involving blackberries and an apology to "Laura Stratton."

Between the laughter, the blending, and the slow-mo whipped cream finale, the trio closes out Fan Fridge Week with warmth, wit, and a reminder that even leftovers can become something special. The result: a dish that tastes like banana bread pudding's classier cousin — and the perfect sweet ending to a wild week.

In the second installment of Fan Fridge Week, it's Michael Symon's turn to take the Fan Fridge Challenge. The lucky fan this round is Pat from Peoria, Arizona, whose fridge is stocked with salmon, feta, avocado, carrots, celery, and a few wildcards like red curry paste.

Michael takes the challenge head-on, transforming Pat's fridge into a Mediterranean feast — complete with crispy-skin salmon, lemon egg sauce (avgolemono-style), and a feta–avocado–cucumber salad kissed with curry paste and olives. While he cooks, Carla offers her "Chef MacGyver" commentary, Clinton warns against ER-level avocado injuries, and everyone weighs in on fridge organization, panic meals, and how to save face when the salmon skin sticks.

The dish ends up a knockout: buttery, lemony, bright, and fresh. It's proof that with a little skill (and maybe a few Greek instincts), you can turn a random fan's fridge into a showstopper meal — and a perfectly cooked salmon that even Clinton admits is "better than expected."

It's Fan Fridge Week, and things get unhinged fast when Clinton Kelly is forced to cook using ingredients from a real viewer's fridge — with a surprise assist from chef Leah Cohen (Pig & Khao). What starts as Clinton's worst nightmare turns into a masterclass in improvisation and Southeast Asian flavor. Leah helps Clinton whip up sweet-and-spicy teriyaki-style chicken wraps using leftover thighs, soy, maple syrup, and sriracha — transforming fridge chaos into something legitimately delicious.

Along the way, the crew dives into Leah's restaurant stories, her Top Chef memories, and her hilarious parenting confessions about picky eaters and dinosaur nuggets. Carla brings the laughs, Michael brings the fire (literally, by toasting tortillas on the burner), and Clinton finally learns to trust the process — with butter. The result? A quick, craveable wrap that everyone devours before they can even clean up.

Carla Hall brings the week home with a dessert mashup so good it sparks chaos: Peach Cobbler + Pound Cake. While she caramelizes peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of almond extract, Clinton and Michael spiral into debates over lime-burn rash, butter temperature, and the eternal introvert–extrovert struggle. Carla schools them on baking science — from fake cake flour hacks to slow-rise pound cakes that bake straight from a cold oven. The gang gets nostalgic about grandmas, cookie memories, and the world's worst cookies (sorry, black-and-white fans). By the end, Clinton's threatening to throw the mixer off the balcony, Michael's covered in crumble, and everyone agrees: Carla's Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is pure holiday comfort.

It's Wednesday, which means Main Dish Day, and things get spicy fast—though not for the reasons you'd think. Clinton, Carla, and Michael start with a debate about fashion, self-expression, and elastic waistbands, before spiraling into the kind of conversation only Chewed Up could have: Clinton explaining the meaning of "top," "bottom," and "versatile" to a very curious Michael.

Between laughs, Clinton whips up a Butternut Squash, Spinach & Blue Cheese Pie, a rich and comforting vegetarian dish perfect for Thanksgiving—or any cozy night in. Carla brings her love of color and texture (in both clothes and cooking), while Michael reveals he's passing the Thanksgiving torch to his son for the first time in decades.

By the time the pie comes out of the oven, they've covered everything from body confidence and fashion phases to gravy temperature anxiety. The episode wraps with Michael giving away his actual golf putter—the one that "beat Bobby Flay"—as this week's fan giveaway. Chaos, comfort, and carbs: all in a day's work for Chewed Up.
