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!

  1. "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

  2. Somi is one of my favorite Kpop idols, Esther is one of my favorite chefs. This interaction made me happy.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    앜ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
    진심 어린 감탄 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ so enjoyable ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

  7. Real question: is Esther standing on a box or something? Somi is like 5-8 and that height difference isn’t what I expected

  8. Came for the chicken, stayed for Somi and the spicy ‘stache. Loved the convo with Chef Esther. Both are so adorable!

  9. 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.

  10. 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!!!

  11. 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
