Chewed UP

The Cottage Cheese Dip That Broke the Blender | A Last Minute Holiday Appetizer

01 Dec 2025

Description

Michael Symon gets voluntold into another Fan Fridge Challenge, this time raiding Jenna G’s Staten Island fridge packed with feta, mortadella, olives, chili crunch, and an obscene amount of cottage cheese—his personal kryptonite. Forced to face it, he builds a cottage-cheese–based dip while the blender fights back, Clinton gives play-by-play, and Carla heckles him about lemon seeds.As the dip slowly comes together, Michael fries potatoes, shaves carrots, toasts pita over the burner, and turns mortadella into shockingly good “meat chips.” Fan questions roll in mid-chaos, covering flat cookies, dishwasher rules, and why mortadella isn’t just fancy bologna.Against all odds, the dip works—and it’s delicious. The Caraway giveaway winner is announced, and Michael plates a full holiday appetizer board pulled entirely from a Fan’s Fridge. Total chaos. Total Chewed Up.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipesTIMESTAMPS00:00 — Cottage cheese enters the chat (terror ensues)01:00 — Jenna G’s Staten Island Fan Fridge revealed02:00 — Mortadella, feta, dairy chaos… and cottage-cheese denial03:30 — Michael reluctantly commits to a cottage-cheese dip05:00 — The blender fight begins07:00 — Clinton meets a man doing live street commentary09:00 — Carla “my body is a microphone” Hall10:00 — Blender Meltdown #212:00 — The cottage cheese finally moves14:00 — Michael starts frying potatoes17:00 — Music ignorance + friendship chaos20:00 — Fan Mail lightning round23:00 — Mortadella chip magic25:00 — Mortadella vs. bologna explained27:00 — Assembling the final holiday appetizer board29:00 — Caraway cookware giveaway announcement31:00 — Final dip reveal + tasting34:00 — Carla plugs Next Level Baker35:00 — Wrap-upSPECIAL 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/canopyCasamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze.https://www.casamraclub.comKitchen 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.
