Cant believe it, i didnt get anything to eat. I said weve got food here. Oh, okay. I skipped breakfast this morning but we were all moving around so fast, i didnt get a bite of anything. Well, curtis has you covered. I watched when bobby flay was on and i saw you didnt bring anything so im going to learn from bobbys mistakes. I made some turkey sliders. Its a turkey barbecue sauce. Its a leftovers. Thats a beautiful side that you can serve on the big day. This is unbelievable. Curtis, where do you get your inspirations, especially like after thanksgiving when youve made this huge meal and we have food overload . Look, when youve got leftovers, you have to think what do i do with it. Paninis are a great thing for them to land. Anything with cheese and you dont celebrate thanksgiving in australia, but your wife is american. She sure is. So you have some of that tradition going on. Her mom is korean so she will throw some kim chi on the table. So its a big melting pot. I do a little australian stuff. My wife is american. Its such a beautiful time, thanksgiving, when you can celebrate traditions. I love the melding of a family and reminding us what family is, t all, whether its geography or back ground. You have a new tv on fox. Tell us about it. Its an all new show thats come over to america. We made a celebrity version and we have these very, very interesting oh, brandy and ray jay . And they host dinner parties in their homes. The other celebs come and they judge them. So you can imagine theres a few a few catty words said here and there. Yep. We would go to his house and judge his food. Thats right. Wed walk around and look at all the stuff on the wall and make comments about the way he dresses his house. Oh, wow this is getting a little too personal. I dont know about that. Thats awesome. Its good fun. And whats the goal of it . To make fun of people. Its a cooking competition. So you see these celebrities. Sometimes at their most vulnerable point when they dropped their guard and theyre standing there cooking in their kitchen. They say all things. Its a competition and were going to see whos the best in my home i have an open kitchen so people can sit on the other side and watch me cook. I never let anyone cook because i get nervous. So you got a kitchen so everybody could watch you now. Yeah, because i thought it was a good idea so you could be cooking and drinking and talking. But when people watch me cook, i blow it every time. Do you really . Every time. Maybe you should have a make sure they have a couple of drinks before they sit down. So get them drunk. Yes. Now, congratulations in order. I understand your wax figure, you have a wax figure now in sydney, which is kinds of cool. Amazing, congratulations. Can we see it . But the best part is you did the mandatory scaring of passersby. Which one is you . Oh, hes moving there. Would have stood and people come in to get their photo. Look at that poor guy. It was so fun, i didnt want to leave. You are brave because they have that rolling pin in their hand. Something happened like this to you. Matt and i, our wax figures are on 42nd street and so i did the same thing. We had the same deal. Thats hilarious. Look at the lady. Of course in new york city, you take your life into your hands. Ive got to go by and see you on the days that youre off. Thats what i do, just hang out. And scaring people. So curtis, have you ever done anything like this, this morning, where youve done all of these chefs hanging out . 30 chefs in one place. The only time that ever happens is when we do a good food and wine show somewhere, like up in aspen we do one with food and wine. Its amazing. But chefs dont get out of their kitchens very often so were quite badly behaved if im being really honest. This morning it was early enough they did behave themselves. Chefs are like rock stars. You have the fans but then you have the edge. Naughty. I think its youre rascals. Were rascals. Watch this when they tried the mannequin challenge. I think you did fantastically until flay blew it. What happened . I didnt see it. Here we go. Table. And still doing well. It looks so look at sunny, shes owning it. It really looks steady. Rock steady. Theres bobby. No, no, bobby is with kathie lee. Okay. He loses it. Right there. He blows it. Come on. I think that would be awkward when youre staring right into someones eyes for a long period of time like bobby wa the chefs werent the only thanksgiving guests apparently. Thats right. We brought back Grain Valley High School. We used to bring a marching band through the studio. And we let it lie fallow for a while but we revived it with the Grain Valley High School marching band who stormed our studio. Were you in a band, al . I was in the band. March and play so i would whistle. I would just whistle. Id aapproximate what the flute would sound like. Do you play anything . Im so unmusical. Im tone deaf as my wife tells me. Im good in the kitchen but not good with an instrument. How good are you in the kitchen . Its time for ask a chef. Weve had some amazing chefs cohosting all week so we have some questions f o these are from actual viewers, we didnt make them up. This is jesse from dallas. Whats your recommended prethanksgiving appertif . I would stay with champagne. Me too. Thats my favorite. We broke out the eggnog. In fact i just made a martini its great quality gin, ver moout and a little sort of orange bitter. Kathy from smithfield, rhode island. Bacon on your turkey . What do you think . I think bacon is good with everything around the holidays. Theres bacon in the potatoes. The turkey, you want to keep it nice and moist and the best way to achieve that is through a brine. Thats a hot topic, brine. Dry or wet . Wet brine. We had one of our chefs said just salt it a couple of days ahead of time. Ive done that with chicken. So much to talk about. Casey from ocala, florida. Whats the safest way to defrost a turkey . The safest way is in a refrigerator. The fastest way is under running water. If you put it in a big pot and thats the quickest. How many days does it take a turkey to defrost in a refrigerator . Several. Four or five, so youre too late. Too late. And youre too late. How do you do it . You go out for dinner. Will, from tampa, florida, which part of the turkey is your favorite and why . Certainly the thigh. Its the juiciest part of the turkey. Im a wing person. Really . Not enough meat there. I know, you always say that. Not enough meat. And i think the skin is so delicious if you get it nice and crisp. On the thigh . Oh, yeah. Really . I dont think ive ever tried it. Im a thigh man. Up next, ellen gets a high honor from president obama but she almost didnt make it. Find out why she wasnt allowed in the white house at first. Thats so funny. Thats so funny.

We are back with more of todays take and a fella we giving us great advice. Im cooking dinner friday. What do i cook thats not thanksgivingrelated because by friday you maybe dont want. I revisit the turkey on saturday. I skip a day. Give it a rest and then go back in on saturday and probably sunday. But you said try seafood on friday. Winter months are a great time for seafood. So you could grill some lobsters or make homemade french fries, oysters would be great, shrimp on the grill. Shrimp on the barbie. I had shrimp yesterday. So youve got people coming over. Yes, i do. We have the perfect acoutrement for you. Its called the pause box. Your guests come and put their cell phones in the box. You cover it up and it basically blocks cell phone signals and wifi. You put the box in. What kind of parties are you see, the idea is you just converse with your guests. But do you need to block my cell phone signal . Because you would otherwise be tempted, because ive been out ive been to dinner with you. You are always so this way ive got three tv shows. Ive got to i have a demanding mother. So you put it in the box. Heres why im nervous about that. If you have kids, your kids may ne significant other. Its an hour, youre having dinner. If its that big of an emergency, somebody will call the house phone. What do you think . We dont have a house phone anymore, but i like the idea of doing that because you constantly are distracted by technology. I agree. You dont have to do it all night long. No. Just a few hours. Or during dinner. You know, by the time its time for dessert, people can go. But i like the idea. Ive gotten in the habit and i have done better because im have. I do take the phone and dont put it on the tail. But the idea that this makes me miss calls because its blocking the signal. Dinner last night, how many important calls did you get . Last night dinner. Two . None. Okay. Medal of freedom. You were talking about this. I didnt use my phone i did, i tweeted. Yesterday the medal of freedom ceremony at the white house, president obama gave out the highest civilian honors to a admired around the world, and theyre americans. Bruce springsteen, robert de niro, robert redford, diana ross, Michael Jordan, ellen degeneres. Ellen actually had trouble getting in the white house. After forgetting her i. D. They dont play at the white house. I had a whole issue once. She had everyone pose this is the big moment, the mannequin challenge. She eventually got in. That was her, so adorable. And then they did the epic mannequin challenge. Savannah says she thinks this challenge. Look at that, tom hanks. I cant tell who that is. Look at that. I love Kareem Abduljabbar was there. Heres the deal. Bruce springsteen. This was an incredible moment. But those speeches bill gates. Bill gates and melinda gates. When president obama was talking about each individual and their accolades theres the queen. Cecily tyson, a friend they said you know when youre the Michael Jordan of, like youre the Michael Jordan of chefs. That was really cool.

Open up your closet because were going to show you how to dress up with what you already have for thanksgiving. Celebrity stylist melissa gussy has put together outfits that are chic, stylish and leave a little wiggle room if you overstuff yourself tomorrow, and i like doing that. You dont want to be all stuffed in your clothes, nothing too tight. Comfortable but cute. Yep. Lets launch in. What do you have . Since its tomorrow and we dont have much time to shop, were going to use staples that we have in our closet already. So jeans. Every woman owns a pair of jeans that they love, that they pull for every single day. Here it is casually. How do we make it work, tomorrow a little bit more elevated look. Here is ann marie and its all i love a statement blazer. Its structured, it totally changes the look of the outfit. I added a metallic turtleneck to give it a little edge. Love that turtleneck. We have her jeans and then a metallic pump from old navy. A statement earring and shes good to go. What i love about this outfit is that ann marie is in her 20s but this can work for any woman, into 60s, even 70s for any shape or size. This reallyor i was just talking to savannah and weve become so obsessed with blazers, off our air time. Easy and looks good. Thank you, ann marie. It looks good. Next we have a basic white button down, which i think is so underrated and so versatile. We just saw taraji p. Henson wear one on the red carpet. If styled the way it is good. If you wanted to pump it up and make it a little more elevated. Hello, vest. Well, hello. Exactly. Its all about the long vest. Cute. Which totally transforms the its modern, its effortless. We did it with a pared pant. We gave a chunky its necklace and it all pulls together. I love a long vest. Megan, you look amazing. I can tell youre feeling it. I can see it in your face. I can tell shes feeling it. You look great. Because you want to feel special on thanksgiving. Its a special day and we should all step it up a little and thats a great way to do it. And i love that lip color. Minimum makeup, a little lip color. Looks like you put some effort to it. Come on over to our table because you look fabulous. The next is a sweater, every woman owns a sweater whether its a chunky knit or a thin. How do you wear it so its a little more elevated for dinner time. So here we have renee looking adorable, just a pair of pants and sneakers but how do we make it work in a more elevated way. Here we have the same gorgeous i love, love, love this. Curtis, what do you think . I think it looks sensational. It really does. Because the skirt really makes it a party, you know. Youre good commentary. This is good. And the necklace, you know, its a party i want to be at. All of my words, yes. I love the color. It screams thanksgiving. We paired it with this metallic pleated skirt which is kind of not what youd expect and it really works, and its an elastic waistband. Which is our best friend at thanksgiving. We have one more look. We didnt forget about the guys. A flannel button down. Rocking the blue steel moment there. But how do you wear it a little here we buttoned it up and gave him a cardigan which really same shirt.
