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/recipes TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Carla opens with numerology & holiday pressure 01:00 – Michael introduces his prime rib technique 02:00 – Removing the bones & using them as the roasting rack 03:00 – Seasoning method + aromatics bed 04:00 – Slow roast vs. hot roast method 05:00 – Thermometers, resting, and perfect holiday timing 06:00 – Building the horseradish sauce (Carla is thrilled) 07:30 – Sauerkraut, gut health, and Michael’s grandfather 09:00 – Clinton + Carla discuss dining… and digestion 10:00 – Korean steakhouse trip + beef overload 11:00 – Pop Mustard Jus build 12:00 – Slicing prime rib + French dip nostalgia 13:00 – Clinton’s traumatizing “end cut” experience 14:00 – Holiday grace, restaurant etiquette 16:00 – Glitter Christmas cards & hoarding confessions 18:00 – Michael’s backwards jogging story 20:00 – Tasting the prime rib 33:00 – Fan Giveaway: Two Customized Frontgate Aprons 34:00 – Outro + cookie swap tease SPECIAL THANKS Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection seen on the show. https://frontgate.com Señorita → Non-alcoholic, full-flavored THC margarita made with real juice and organic agave. https://www.senoritadrinks.com/discount/CHEWEDUP20 FreshDirect → Ingredient partner providing groceries for the show. https://www.freshdirect.com Canopy by Hilton → Lifestyle hotel brand bringing local, modern hospitality. https://www.hilton.com/en/canopy Kitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.com Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/ About Chewed Up Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
