Nashville Hot Chicken Fried Steak with Japanese Fluffy Cakes

S3 E23 | HOT, FLUFFY & UNCOMFORTABLE w/ Sean Evans and Gabe “Fluffy” Iglesias | Something's Burning

Sean Evans of *Hot Ones* and Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias pop over to my kitchen for a very “on topic” meal of Fluffy Japanese Pancakes and Nashville Hot Chicken Fried Steak. We talk about how we spent our first “big” paychecks, the fact that I was *Hot Ones’* first celebrity guest... and Fluffy’s record-breaking show at Dodgers Stadium. Plus, Fluffy’s got a surprise for me that I absolutely didn’t see coming.
