It’s a mixed bag when comedian Adam Ray, pro-athlete Cam Heyward, and sportscaster Rich Eisen swing by my New Orleans kitchen during Super Bowl week to sample a local fav – po’ boys! We also almost kill Adam with jalapenos, make Rich eat food outside his comfort zone, and load Cam up with some one-liners for next season’s defensive line.

The BFF’s of Barstool, Josh Richards and Brianna (Chickenfry) LaPaglia stop by my New Orleans kitchen for a little luck of the Irish… I’m making dingle pies, mushy peas, and getting the low-down on how a new generation handles fame. We’re also shot-gunning beer, shooting Por Osos espresso shots and getting to know each other’s backstories – the Sway House and the Rolling Stones story are hot topics.

NFL Rookie of the Year (2012) Robert Griffin III and his just-as-impressively-athletic wife, Grete, stop by the New Orleans kitchen to chat about heptathlons, plaits vs braids, and being overprepared. Plus, I’m experimenting with upside-down cooking… and it goes as well as can be expected.

Adam “Pacman” Jones and his wife, Tish Holmes-Jones, come by the New Orleans kitchen for an impromptu double date with me and LeeAnn. While we’re waiting for Warren Sapp to show – I make a gumbo and LeeAnn makes some cheddar corn biscuits. We also get to the bottom of why Pacman was suspended, black vs white strip clubs, and get more than a little contact high.

Comedians Nick Thune and Trae Crowder come over for homemade gnocchi – vegan style. We talk Nick’s sobriety, Trae’s weight fluctuation… and lots of guy stuff: farts, jerking off, and porn to be specific.

Comedians Noel Miller and JR De Guzman come by the kitchen to chat while I make them black bean mole and corn fritters… And the topics are WILD – everything from JR’s hot mom to sex after pregnancy. We also deep dive Noel’s ethnicity, talk about sex addicts anonymous, and create a hit song.

O’Shea Jackson Jr and Paul Walter Hauser come by the kitchen to impress me with their epic movie roles… while I try and impress them with braised short ribs. But, I can’t hold a candle to playing Ice Cube, Richard Jewell, Chris Farley OR being in a Den of Thieves trilogy. We also talk a lot about their true passion – wrestling. And they definitely have a LOT to say.
