The ONLY Salad to Serve on Thanksgiving | Clinton's Green Salad with Squash & Pumpkin Spice Croutons

It’s Thanksgiving Week on Chewed Up, and Clinton shows up with the one thing Michael Symon never thinks about on a holiday table: a salad. But not just any salad — the salad. The same one Clinton took to The Drew Barrymore Show where Drew declared it her “new favorite.” Clinton, in full Salad Prophet mode, walks Michael and Carla through his roasted delicata squash, toasted pepitas, and pumpkin-spice-kissed croutons — or as the crew insists on calling them, “fat breakers.”What follows is peak Chewed Up energy: Carla crunches croutons into the mic until Clinton gets strangely excited, Michael goes on a tirade about why restaurants should toss salads for you, and the trio accidentally rename Thanksgiving greens forever. They also drop hard-earned Thanksgiving prep wisdom — thawing your turkey on time, making stock early, mapping out your oven like a battlefield, and why brining is basically a trap if you want good gravy.The episode finishes with their Monday giveaway: The Frontgate Stay-Chill Bowl from Michael Symon’s Collection, pulled straight from the set and heading to one lucky fan. It’s loud, it’s unhinged, it’s practical, and somehow yes — it’s still about salad.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Cold open: Clinton invented everything, apparently01:00 – Thanksgiving vs. Friendsgiving vs. “Husband-Giving”02:20 – Clinton confesses he’s not a salad guy03:00 – The origin story: Drew Barrymore + pumpkin spice croutons04:00 – Crouton chaos and the Great Crunching Incident05:00 – Delicata squash 10107:30 – Carla’s crunchy ASMR moment08:30 – Toasting pepitas without burning your kitchen down09:45 – Clinton’s salad-dressing tasting hack10:30 – Influencers steal Clinton’s bottle-dressing trick12:00 – Sponsor: Señorita (THC Margarita)13:00 – Dressing the greens + Michael’s bowl rant15:00 – Goat cheese vs. feta diplomacy16:00 – Dig-in + Thanksgiving prep talk begins17:00 – The official Tuesday shopping rule19:00 – The stuffing strategy20:00 – Make-ahead pie logic21:00 – The Great Gravy Debate22:00 – Carla’s “oven grid” system24:00 – Buffet flow theory26:00 – Turkey order, brining truth bombs28:00 – Cooking by temp, not time29:00 – Sponsor: Caraway30:00 – Sponsor: Frontgate31:00 – Sides strategy + mashed potato hacks33:00 – Carla films the chaos34:00 – Weekly Giveaway winner announced (Frontgate Stay-Chill Bowl)35:00 – Wrap-up: Thanksgiving is coming fastSPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORSSeñorita → Non-alcoholic, full-flavored THC margarita made with real juice and organic agave.https://www.senoritadrinks.com/discount/CHEWEDUP20Caraway → Non-toxic cookware, even heating, easy cleanup, up to 20% off for the holidays.https://carawayhome.com/chewedupFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.comCanopy 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.
