It was fun to watch. We hope to do that again maybe with some other holidays. I was thinking when we have a cohost as a chef, i would imagine wed have a big spread of food brought out to us. Weve got some food. Sorry. You always get disappointed. No. Tamron i beat bobby flay. Yes, you did. Handily. What about the show . You have a slice of cake here but you didnte this was from the last hour. This is like the turducken of pastry. Its got its pumpkin puree chocolate chip cake sandwiched around a pecan pie. Its a new trend. Whats it called . Pike. Piecake thing. Sugar rush. If you could have cake in a pie what kind of cake would you merge with what kind of pie . Cake and pie. Cake would be like a banana cream pie. I didnt see that coming. Thats because it is healthy. It is fruit. Of course. Id go with a caramel cake with an apple pie. You know, thats really good. I like that. Key lime pie would be my pie. And then my cake would just be vanilla cake. Is that too if youd go on our Facebook Page and give us your combo. Your cakepie combo. So pike. Okay . Pike. What about key lime pie with like a cream cheese chocolate cake. Im not into chocolate and key lime. Our Facebook Page blew up on like a furby with these toys that take off and nobody can get them. We showed you last friday dylan and Harry Connick hatched a hatchimal. They nursed this little blue egg until the creature came out. It just set social media on fire. 4 mon weve heard from families, grandmoms saying where do i get this for my grandchild . Theyre selling out everywhere. I have one and unfortunately i have a 7yearold and a 10yearold who now have to have a hunger games contest to see which causes it to hatch . Just time . You who hold it. You put it down, timer stops. You have to have a kid with a lot of patience who can hold it we reached out to the Company Behind the hatchimal and they have have assured us they have increased production. Shipments of the new hatchimals will be arriving in stores throughout the Holiday Season and early 2017. So you might have to get an iou from santa for the child. Hatchimal. The hatchimal. Your moment is thanksgiving, were told. This is my season. I your super bowl . It is my super bowl. Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. I wake up hungry on thanksgiving. I get up around 3 00 in the morning. I roast two 30pound turkeys. 30 pounds . I dont know they came that big. Yes. I get two 30pound turkeys because you know people want leftovers. People come to my house with tupperware. You dont blind it . No. Were giving thanks. I get to show my life for food. It is the greatest thing ever. About tumor wear. I just recently had some people over for dinner and i gave them my tupperware. Its not coming back. Thats what made me think. Thanksgiving, bring your own tupperware and you can take home a little bobby flay. We save all the takeout containers we get. When people come over, we have leftovers, we give them the left thing outside the turkey, the best side that you can make is it. I am making a southwestern thanksgiving this year. So im going to say the first thing i thought of was the cornbread and chorizo stuffing. I make stuffing on the side so it is nice and crusty. I like in the bird stuffing. Its important if youre going to host thanksgiving listen. Im listening. If youre going to host thanksgiving you need to be organized. Im going to cook all the assigned either bring a dessert or a bottle of wine. And your tupperware. Thats it. That way we have the wine covered, the dessert covered. You require guests to stick around and help you clean up . I dont. Very magnanimous. Although people sort of volunteer their way through. Then they steal your silverware. And the tupperware. And the turkey. Weve plaza, viewers at home, to submit thanksgiving questions. Okay . So, you can submit your questions to todaystake and askachef. The turkey has has made his appearance. Our producers thought it would be funny if we wore a turkey hat. Most of our chefs said, meh, thanks, but not so much. No head gear. From new jersey. It is my first time making a turkey. Whats the best approach so i dont mess it up . Really simple. Do what i do. Dont brian. Put the turkey in a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper, slather a bunch of melted butter in there and kick it into the oven. I dont cover it. I cover it later. I start it at about 400 degrees. It gets nice and brown after 45 minutes to an hour. Depends on how big it is. Then i cover it with some tinfoil to protect it and just keep roasting it. I sw this from hanna from birmingham, alabama. Whats the difference between dressing and stuffing . Well, you like dressing. I dont like stuffing. Obviously stuffing is stuffing in the bird and dressing is cooking it on the side. The reason why i like to cook it on the side for two reasons. First, you get a nice crust on the outside so you get that good contrast in texture. Also it helps cook the bird evenly if you dont stuff it. I make stuffing, and i make a dressing on the side. Then the stuffing inside. Then i mix them. Wow. I want to let you know this on the air. Al has a lot of, lets say, veet cred or kitchen cred in the chef industry because hes been so supportive for a long time and we know he can cook. He can cook. How many things do you cook . On your menu . I dont do that many. Turkey, i probably do a ham. Then maybe four or five. You throw the ham in there. Oh, yeah. He goes bi i want to add Brussel Sprouts to our thanksgiving table. Im actually doing one tomorrow. Im doing a brussels sprouts recipe tomorrow. You can watch it. It has pomegranates, some kind of nut and a little pomegranate molasses so go get that now. Youll show us tomorrow. Blanch, then roast, then season. Thats it. I just roast with a little about 30 cloves of garlic. Sufficients got to go on beat bobby flay. Garlic, bacon, brussels sprouts . Thats a good recipe, al. Up nex you know how long it takes to get my hair this messy . Up next, the hot fashion trend. And its not this. Burning up the red carpet at last nights ama. Yes, underwear as outer wear. Its the style. And im thinking about doing it for the holidays. Up next, well see . . . I never over think it do what i want . . And i do it my way okay . .

But not as sad as all this new fashion thing. You dont like it . No llikie . The American Music awards were last night. Couple of moments everyone was talking it. I heart this young lady so much. Selena gomez, her first publiin needed some time off to deal with some personal issues. Because i had everything. And i was absolutely broken inside. And i kept it all together enough to where i would never let you down, but i kept it too much together to where i let myself down. I dont want to see your bodies on instagram. I want to see whats in here. Im not trying to get validation, nor do i need it anymore. If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken. And if you respect me or not, thats one thing you should know about me, is i care about people and thank you so much for this. This is for you. Thank you. Shes only 24 years old. Shes been through it both in her personal life and music. She won on the happy note there favorite female pop rock artist. Best new artist award went to but he was in a band. He says this one only has his name on it, right . Which hes another one. I heart him, too. Hes one of my new favorite art artists. The guys who go out on their own, you are still loyal to the band but you want to step out. Another interesting decision ill get you guys to tell me what you think. Big winner of last night. Look at some most beautiful ladies in hollywood. Weve seen that before. These very madonna. Ariana grande whos been on the show many times. She did a bustier. Again weve seen this before. Rebecca romaine who was just on our show friday. Thats her look. But shes got the body of a goddess. Hanna jeter, formerly hanna davis. What do you guys think . Tastefully. You see gigi hadid here. I think it looks great. It is a sort of great way to reveal without revealing. Is it only for red carpet hollywood or can you youre at a cocktail party. I would wear my underwear . Ive seen bobby im going commando. Please, let me be at that party. I am going to post it on instagram. Tell me youre though. That oil spatter could be a problem. I think if it is done tastefully, and obviously when you see it at the red carpet, starts to seep into mainstream everywhere. Well be seeing a little bit more i think bras and underwear as long as it is tastefully done. Tastefully done. I have to see, gigi hadid is my favorite super model because she loves food. I didnt know that. Ive talked to her a few times about some different her. She actually all she talked about on her phone was all these dishes that she wanted to eat which i think is a great message for young women and food to have that relationship. Absolutely. We share the same favorite hamburger in new york city with i is j. G. Melons. Ive not been there. Put that on our list, everybody. Yesterday obviously nfl football. We always see some great tackles. But c sound guy on Fox Television couldnt get out of the way. Vikings coming out on the field sunday. Bernie was fine enough to continue working the whole game. Thats when life comes at you fast. Boom he was okay, broke his glasses. Got a little bloody nose. He continued to work the game. Glasses broken. Reminds me, there is is a great movie back in the early 60s, playing a camera guy. What just happened with bobby and al is whats going to happen eventually at your thanksgiving dinner. Someone will be talking about something and you have no idea. Are you supposed to tell them you dont know or do you play along with it . Tell them you dont know. You dont know. Which is exactly what i did on national television. Iug about a movie called the longest yard. Thats with Burt Reynolds . Exactly. Ive never seen it. By the way, we want to send some love and congratulations to one of our pals here. Our supervisor producer adam miller and wife mandy had a baby girl over the weekend. Harper ashton. 7 pounds, 4 ounces, 20 inches, they are so cute. This was like, by the way, minutes after. Minutes after. I told them, you guys are the hallmark family. And props really to mandy going along with adams into ed to get Jennifer Anistons name in there. Adam is obsessed with jennifer aniston.
