HE ZOOMED IN ON THE CHICKEN AND SAID “DOUBLE CHEEKED UP ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON” SOMEONE COME STOP THIS

Josh,

I made your Nashville hot chicken recipe last night. Although very spicy, it was very much the best spicy food I’ve eaten, ever. I also made your Raising Canes fries and your white bread. The results of making everything from scratch is very rewarding, and although I doubt you would see this, I wanted to get it out there that you are a culinary inspiration. Thank you for all that you do.

Loving the more road-trippy videos lately. Don't get me wrong, the inside of your cabinets is a place of comfort and beauty, but you're really expanding the quality here.

Josh: alright lets go home and make it better

Tennessee things:
1) it's the batman building. It has ears.
2) there is not a single working outdoor water fountain in the state.

Coronavirus: *exists*
Josh: *almost uses a public water fountain*

This is by far the most authentic NHC recipe I’ve seen. Thank you for dunking the chicken in the oil mixture instead of daintily brushing it on, just like we do it here in Nashville. That bread needs to be soaked in that oil.

Me when josh compliments food he didn’t make: 😧

Coronavirus: *exists
Josh: let's go to Nashville.

"This was dumb of us to not get water."
"I don't know why we didn't get water."

No man. He needs some milk!
