Michael Symon turns a Fan Fridge into a Charred Cabbage Classic

It’s Fan Fridge Day, and Cindy E from McKinney, Texas hands over her refrigerator — chaos, Reese’s cups, miso, cabbage, and all. What follows is a classic Chewed Up spiral: Clinton is emotionally unprepared, Carla is optimistic, and Michael Symon calmly turns fridge odds and ends into something legitimately impressive.The star of the episode is cabbage — an ingredient Michael argues is wildly underrated. He chars a full round of cabbage in bacon fat, bastes it with brown butter and miso, and finishes it with a creamy, tangy yogurt dressing loaded with scallions, avocado, mustard, lemon, and crispy bacon. Pickled red onions save the day at the last second, and suddenly the “healthy-ish” Fresh Start Week actually delivers.Along the way, the trio riffs on Gen X childhoods, grilled romaine trauma, miso’s misunderstood versatility, soft-scrambled eggs, restaurant ordering regrets, and why soufflés are always worth ordering out. The episode wraps with real cooking wisdom — fat, acid, texture — and a fan giveaway that proves Clinton Kelly has fully entered his bird-watching era.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at:www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTimestamps00:00 – Clinton opens emotionally unprepared01:20 – Fan Fridge Day explained02:40 – Cindy E’s fridge inventory chaos05:45 – Michael declares cabbage underrated07:10 – Bacon starts rendering10:00 – Gen X childhood and hose water discourse13:30 – Frontgate shout-out15:20 – Brown butter + miso basting begins18:40 – Dressing comes together22:30 – Pickled red onions save the dish25:00 – “Charred Cabbage and Friends” is named28:00 – Cooking philosophy: fat, acid, texture35:10 – Fan Giveaway: Bird Buddy37:00 – Wrap-up and thanks🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comFrontgate → 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 that aims to provide a local experience.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.
