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.

This time, Luenell and Kathy Griffin stop by, and things go from chaos to absolute pandemonium… there’s cancel culture, celebrity cameos, the obliteration of my name, and of course, critiques on my cooking. And then they went to The Ivy.

NASCAR legend Kyle Busch and his wife, Samantha, stop by the kitchen on their way to the Daytona 500… and we talk about everything from Kyle’s career to Samantha’s cooking content. And, while we chat - I make a Sweet Tea Fried Chicken Sandwich with pimento cheese and Alabama White Sauce – in honor of Race Day!

Stiff Socks hosts Trevor Wallace + Michael Blaustein stop by the kitchen for a good ol’ fashioned crawfish boil. We go in deep on porn, other comedians, and I spill a secret I haven’t told ANYONE.

Comedian Iliza Shlesinger and her chef-husband Noah Galuten come by the kitchen so I can show Noah EXACTLY how to make his food… pulling recipes right out of his newest cookbook. And, not gonna lie – I killed it at the sausage bread.
