Chewed UP

It’s Christmas week, emotions are high, and Clinton Kelly is on a personal mission: redemption. After last week’s cookie chaos, Clinton returns to the kitchen with the dish that defines love in his family — rolled lasagna. This is not a weeknight meal. This is a full-commitment, clear-your-schedule, cook-with-intention holiday classic.Inspired by Don Angie in New York City but rooted firmly in Clinton’s Italian-American upbringing, this lasagna features slow-cooked bolognese, creamy béchamel, fresh pasta sheets, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a simple butter-onion tomato sauce based on Marcella Hazan’s iconic method. Everything is layered, rolled, sliced, and baked into individual spirals that deliver perfect balance in every bite.Along the way, Clinton, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon dig into why lasagna is reserved for the people you actually love, the cultural difference between baked ziti and holiday lasagna, and why some dishes are meant to take time. There’s also plenty of side conversation — holiday traditions worth keeping (and retiring), the best sandwiches they’ve ever eaten, ugly sweater debates, and a reminder not to be a “DRIP” at holiday parties.The result? A deeply satisfying dish, a fully redeemed Clinton, and one of the coziest episodes of Chewed Up yet.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at:https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes⏱ Timestamps00:00 – Holiday chaos, cookie trauma, and Clinton’s redemption arc02:15 – Why lasagna is a “love dish” in Italian-American families04:45 – Don Angie inspiration and rolled lasagna method08:30 – Building the bolognese (and why it takes hours)10:45 – Béchamel, nutmeg, and the butter-onion tomato sauce12:30 – Rolling, slicing, and assembling the lasagna15:00 – Baking tips, make-ahead tricks, and freezing options18:00 – Taste test and final verdict20:00 – Holiday traditions worth keeping (and retiring)25:00 – Best sandwiches ever debate35:00 – Fan giveaway winner🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.comSeñorita → Non-alcoholic, full-flavored THC margarita made with real juice and organic agave.https://www.senoritadrinks.com/discount/CHEWEDUP20Canopy by Hilton → A lifestyle hotel brand by Hilton focused on local experiences.https://www.hilton.com/en/canopyCasamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze.https://www.casamraclub.com🔗 Production CreditsKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

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.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Cold open chaos & cat-on-the-counter accusations01:00 – Cookie swap explained (and immediately regretted)03:30 – Fan cookie submissions + holiday food nostalgia06:30 – Clinton starts butter cookies (mistakes begin)08:30 – Frozen egg yolk incident11:00 – Frontgate sponsor callout14:00 – Christmas Cookie Chew It or Screw It18:00 – Carla finishes lemon ginger crinkle cookies22:00 – Clinton pipes cookies under extreme stress24:00 – Chocolate dipping, sprinkles, and betrayal26:00 – Cookie tasting & swap reactions28:00 – Controversial Christmas cookie opinions30:30 – Overrated Christmas movies debate31:30 – Goldbelly fan giveaway winners33:00 – Wrap-up and holiday sendoff🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://www.frontgate.comCasamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze.https://www.casamaraclub.comFreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comCanopy by Hilton → A lifestyle hotel brand by Hilton that delivers a local-first experience.https://www.hilton.com/en/canopy🏡 Production CreditsKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/🎙️ About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.

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.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Carla opens with numerology & holiday pressure01:00 – Michael introduces his prime rib technique02:00 – Removing the bones & using them as the roasting rack03:00 – Seasoning method + aromatics bed04:00 – Slow roast vs. hot roast method05:00 – Thermometers, resting, and perfect holiday timing06:00 – Building the horseradish sauce (Carla is thrilled)07:30 – Sauerkraut, gut health, and Michael’s grandfather09:00 – Clinton + Carla discuss dining… and digestion10:00 – Korean steakhouse trip + beef overload11:00 – Pop Mustard Jus build12:00 – Slicing prime rib + French dip nostalgia13:00 – Clinton’s traumatizing “end cut” experience14:00 – Holiday grace, restaurant etiquette16:00 – Glitter Christmas cards & hoarding confessions18:00 – Michael’s backwards jogging story20:00 – Tasting the prime rib33:00 – Fan Giveaway: Two Customized Frontgate Aprons34:00 – Outro + cookie swap teaseSPECIAL THANKS Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection seen on the show.https://frontgate.comSeñorita → Non-alcoholic, full-flavored THC margarita made with real juice and organic agave.https://www.senoritadrinks.com/discount/CHEWEDUP20FreshDirect → Ingredient partner providing groceries for the show.https://www.freshdirect.comCanopy by Hilton → Lifestyle hotel brand bringing local, modern hospitality.https://www.hilton.com/en/canopyKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
