About this episode
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 . 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes Keywords butternut squash pie, blue cheese pie, Clinton Kelly recipe, Carla Hall, Michael Symon, Thanksgiving side dish, vegetarian pie, elastic waistbands, kitchen fashion, holiday cooking, comfort food, savory pie, podcast recipe, funny food show Timestamps 00:00 – Fashion chat: corsets, peplums, and personal style 03:00 – Elastic waistbands and aging gracefully 06:00 – Clinton’s life-changing rule about pants 08:00 – Clinton introduces his Butternut Squash, Spinach & Blue Cheese Pie 10:00 – The “top or bottom” debate derails everything 13:00 – Carla zests a lemon and saves the show 15:00 – Pie crust talk: store-bought vs. homemade 18:00 – Michael passes the Thanksgiving torch 20:00 – Tasting the pie: lemon, stilton, and squash harmony 22:00 – Sponsor shoutouts (Frontgate, All-Clad, Hedley & Bennett, Blues Hog) 25:00 – Michael’s “Beat Bobby Flay” golf putter giveaway 26:00 – Barbara from Lebanon, TN wins the prize 27:00 – Outro & chaos 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Frontgate → Premium furniture, décor, and entertaining essentials. frontgate.com All-Clad → Professional cookware built to last, trusted by chefs everywhere. allclad.com Hedley & Bennett → Pro-grade aprons, knives, and kitchen gear for chefs and home cooks. hedleyandbennett.com Blues Hog → Award-winning BBQ sauces and rubs.
