The "Croffle" Gone Bad -- Clinton's Puff Pastry Experiment

It’s Monday appetizer day, but things get messy fast. Clinton blames Nick for convincing him to try the “viral” croffle trend—croissant dough in a waffle maker—and immediately regrets every buttery, failed attempt. The gang debates whether “viral” now just means “bad food that looks good,” while Carla insists on finding the silver lining (and the cinnamon sugar).Michael tries to talk sense into Clinton (“just bake the damn croissant”), but the chaos spirals into discussions about Peloton instructors, phone call etiquette, and Clinton’s terrifying voicemail greeting. Later, the trio dive into aging, hair loss, menopause vs. andropause, and the weird comfort of losing body hair as eyesight fades.By the time the puff pastry “waffles” come out of the iron, the kitchen smells like redemption—and sugar. The team discovers that the croffle may actually be better as a quick dessert than an appetizer. Add ice cream, chocolate syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon, and you’ve got something your grandkids would love (even if your cohosts roll their eyes).The episode wraps with a brand-new Fan Mail segment featuring real listener questions about sweet omelets and cutting boards, plus Clinton’s personal giveaway—a vintage “Wear Something Cute & Don’t Take Any Crap” mug from his What Not To Wear days.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes🔍 Keywordscroffle, puff pastry, viral food trends, Clinton Kelly, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, podcast recipes, waffle iron, kitchen fails, menopause, andropause, cooking humor, easy dessert ideas, comfort food, fan mail, vintage mugs🕒 Timestamps00:00 – Cold open & chaos begins01:00 – Fall weather + Clinton’s geography corner03:00 – “Nick’s fault” and the Croffle experiment06:00 – Voicemail etiquette & cranky confessions08:00 – The croffle redemption arc11:00 – “Can you braise short ribs in a pumpkin?”12:00 – Sponsor shoutouts (Frontgate, All-Clad)13:00 – Body hair, aging, and andropause17:00 – Couples and bad gift stories20:00 – The puff pastry waffle reveal23:00 – New segment: Fan Mail (sweet omelets & cutting boards)27:00 – Menopause vs. andropause29:00 – Giveaway: Clinton’s vintage mug31:00 – Wrap-up + Wednesday tease (Christian Petroni guest)🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Luxury furniture, decor, and serveware built for entertaining. frontgate.comAll-Clad → The gold standard in American-made cookware. all-clad.comHedley & Bennett → Professional-grade aprons, knives, and kitchen gear that look as good as they perform. hedleyandbennett.comBlues Hog → Award-winning BBQ sauces, rubs, and marinades — “Stay Saucey.” blueshog.comKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → simplealien.comCamera, Audio, and Crew by TV Boy → tvboynyc.com🍴 About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
