The Chew Thanksgiving Battle: Onion Dip with Sweet Potato Chips

Matthew Miller faced off against his wife in a kitchen showdown on The Chew Thanksgiving Battle. He made Sweet Potato Chips with an onion dip, while she made her Pumpkin Soup Recipe.

Matt admitted that his wife is a good cook, but he has been perfecting his recipes for years for a more gourmet approach. If he lost, he would have to quit fantasy football for the season and do the Thanksgiving dishes. Matthew claimed the trophy thanks to a vote by the tasting table.

The couple also has a five-month-old daughter at home, and it sounds like she will have plenty of good family recipes growing up.
