Cheeseburger Ramen + Sweet Chili Ramen

S5 E17 | Wrestle Mania + Restaurant Impossible w/ Robert Irvine + Gail Kim | Something's Burning

Power couple Robert Irvine and Gail Kim stop by the kitchen to chat about two of my favorite things... wrestling and food. Robert gives me some culinary tips while I serve up one of HIS ramen recipes, and Gail and I geek out on WWE. We also may or may not have a new side-biz with Guy Fieri.
