In the season 2 premiere of HEAT EATERS, Chef Esther Choi embarks on a quest to 1). Try NYC’s spiciest chicken sandwiches! and 2). Create her own ULTIMATE version with K-pop superstar, JEON SOMI.
The adventure begins at Pecking House, a restaurant that went viral during the pandemic, and famous for its fried chicken that at one point boasted a waitlist of 10,000 customers. At Pecking House, Chef Eric Huang teaches Esther the culinary process for their renowned Chinese Nashville-style, spicy chili oil-dipped chicken sandwich served on milk bread. Next, Esther meets up with Chef Chintan Pandya at Rowdy Rooster to sample their notoriously spicy Level 5 Indian Rowdy Sandwich – one that Eric Andre hailed as spicier than anything featured on Hot Ones! After her fact-finding mission, Esther teams up with JEON SOMI to construct their own PERFECT spicy chicken sandwich, using ingredients that Esther personally curated for SOMI. Their creation combines chili-dipped fried chicken, bulgogi coleslaw, extra-hot Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and a unique sauce blend featuring kimchi animal style sauce, buldak sauce, and gochujang tteokkochi sauce.
So get ready to up your spice game and tune in to watch Chef Esther Choi learn from the masters of spicy chicken!

"Juicy chicken sounds sexy" – JEON SOMI
Ok i LOVE it that Somi is everywhere!
"I don't know if you know about the Last Dab …"
The fear in her eyes said that she did, in fact, know of the Last Dab lol
How do i always end up watching First We Feast videos when im baked?
Somi ❤
Somi is one of my favorite Kpop idols, Esther is one of my favorite chefs. This interaction made me happy.
I am Korean and been to Rowdy Rooster, do not underestimate them.
I barely made it out of there alive.
Wait, I think I've seen the first chef on epicurious.
Indian accent is so beautiful even their dishes looks yummy i wanna try some
Somi looks like the joker
That flip and catch!😂
Recently became a somi fan because of her cool dad lol
missing avocado
Sweet
Um…
Aunty Esther 🥰
Can we get Bill on Hot Ones
Somi u r so pretty
Absolute props to Chef Esther who literally kept her cool eating a wHOLE 3/4 TEASPOON OF DA BOMB IN FRONT OF SOMI IN FRONT OF A CAMERA
I love bill
props to the hand that reached up to grab something off the bar. The restaurant must be open
What a disaster video!!! I'm guessing that's the last we will see Somi on this show. Esther needs to realize her spicy hot mission is HER mission only….not everyone else's.
Esther was made for this. Naturally photogenic, well articulated, likeable and fun ❤
Crediting “fast food” and Popeyes for hot chicken is an insult to all the chefs in Nashville who’ve been doing for years. This video is dumber than a bag of hammers.
18:50
앜ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
진심 어린 감탄 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ so enjoyable ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
SOMI!!!!
매운거 좋아하면 위염 걸림.
Ty guys
Very enjoyable ep
And she said bread n butter picjles ❤❤❤
This feels exactly like worth it.
Real question: is Esther standing on a box or something? Somi is like 5-8 and that height difference isn’t what I expected
너무 미국스러워서 거리감이 느껴지네.
Came for the chicken, stayed for Somi and the spicy ‘stache. Loved the convo with Chef Esther. Both are so adorable!
She didnt talk that much here. All she say was okay, i am and yeah
Somi: "Why do you eat this?"
Proceeds to consume the remaining spicy sauce.
bruh i never listened to her music before but i been seeing somi EVERYWHERE on youtube and now i love her.
Where's her boyfriend uncle Roger
What ever happened to Pluck U?
Chinese fried chicken is going crazy wow!
you can call her summer
And to think….I liked this video before seeing the poutine…..
thats hot
I love spicy foods – grew up eating hot peppers as a baby. But, there comes a time when there are foods/spices that are just hot for no reason – and completely void of flavor. Those are the foods I will not eat – I failed to find a point as to where you need to burn your taste buds and numb out your tongue or plain out hurt yourself.
20:26 something got snatched off camera haha
Cool show! Ran into this from Josh Weissman's channel. Already loved Hot Ones so this is a natural addition now. Was introduced to Aunty Esther on Uncle Roger too so coming full circle here. Let's gooooooo!!!
Ain’t no way Esther just gave the Last Dab for Somi. An actual death wish out of the gate with no ramp up time. Smh
Uncle rogar searching for u auntie ester 😂
At this point I’m not surprised if Somi meet Elon Musk and talking about SpaceX and Mars.
The sauce on the side of her lips made me think of Harley quinn
