Off their new No. 1 album CULTURE II, “Stir Fry” was a clear standout off the Migos’ 24-track double LP. The Atlanta group are now teaming up with Buzzfeed’s Tasty food channel to show their chef work in the kitchen. In a video released online, Takeoff, Quavo and Offset cook up some stir fry for the viewers. In between tossing vegetables and frying bacon, chicken, egg, the rap trio take time to flash their expensive jewelry in between.

Music is a huge part of the cooking and kitchen experience, so while Migos and Tasty may sound like an unexpected collaboration, it really is the perfect fit,” Tasty general manager Ashley McCollum tells Billboard. “The guys were incredible to work with and we feel the final product is a successful fusion of our two brands. There’s a huge opportunity for Tasty within the music industry, this is just the beginning. And hopefully, we made everyone hungry for a little stir fry.” Watch Migos work the kitchen below and catch them on SNL on March 3.

untitled action bronson show

Action Bronson’s Blue Chips 7000 album may have gone triple chicken bone first week (his words, not mine!), but he’s far too busy to be dwelling on something trivial like record sales, especially when he’s a big TV star. Having already brought us Fuck, That’s Delicious, Traveling the Stars and Hungry Hearts, Bam Bam is adding a fourth VICELAND show to his résumé with The Untitled Action Bronson Show.

Crickets, Miss Info learns about the origin of lemon pepper wings, and how rap music, strip clubs and, more recently, Atlanta has turned the finger-lickin’ dish into a local delicacy. Donald Glover, Waka Flocka Flame and Wing Stop CEO Rick Ross explain what makes lemon pepper wings so great, while writer and ATL native Rembert Browne hosts a backyard taste test to decide who has the best lemon pepper wings in town.

This time, they hit up our nation’s capital, Washington D.C., on a quest to get to the bottom of the city’s “Mumbo Sauce” mystery. Popularized in hood Chinese restaurants, the sweet and tangy sauce has become the trade mark of fried chicken spots in the DMV area.

For the first episode of Food Grails, my new show with the good folks at First We Feast, we went out to South L.A., Compton, Watts and Leimert Park to meet the new wave of hood entrepreneurs. Many are former hustlers or gang members who are now making their own Americanized version of the Mexican food that everyone in L.A. grows up on. These guys are social media stars and favorites of the local hip-hop artists (like Jay 305 and Casey Veggies) that relate to their struggle.

Watch the season premiere above and check back for new episodes dropping every Wednesday at 11am ET.

First We Feast‘s Hot Ones series is one of my favorite things on the Internet (pro tip: watch it just before your lunch break to really work up an appetite). T-Pain is one of my favorite people, on and off the Internet. So when I saw the latest episode of Hot Ones pop up on YouTube featuring none other than Mr. Rapper Turnt Sanga I was sold. And it doesn’t disappoint.
