Spanakopita and Pine Cones? with Amy Sedaris | Michael Symon makes a classic greek dish

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. 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes TIMESTAMPS (Based on transcript) 00:00 – Cold open: “Baking shit” + intro 01:00 – Carla sets the holiday mood 01:20 – Michael introduces Amy Sedaris 01:45 – Amy arrives; Greek jokes begin 03:00 – Clinton’s three reasons Amy lives rent-free in his head 05:00 – Spanakopita filling: spinach, feta, herbs, pine nuts 07:00 – Phyllo talk: thickness, buttering, folding triangles 08:45 – Freezing tips from Michael’s mom & yaya 10:15 – Carla starts Chew It or Screw It 12:00 – Edible glitter, cauliflower rice, fairies, scents 15:00 – Crafting pine-cone gnomes 17:30 – Glue malfunctions, googly eye chaos 19:30 – Eyebrows, noses, and Clinton’s Crack Corner 23:00 – Fan Giveaway — winner Susan A.
