The Colonel’s secret was never chicken. It was this. 🥔🍞 youtu.be/A7j-6J78N0U

JOSÉ ANDRÉS didn’t cook for us. But he still took LAZY MAN down with smoky salsa and BLUE CORN ENCHILADAS. Even the TUNA CEVICHE had an attitude. DATE NIGHT at OYAMEL hit different. Watch what happened: youtube.com/shorts/PJioB...

The Colonel’s cabinet… fully assembled. 12 herbs, zero secrets. (OK, 11 herbs and a corporate cover-up.) 🍗 Video drops tomorrow. Who’s ready for potato bread with a criminal record?

I tried frying honey mustard. The stove fought back. Baking soda and vinegar staged a coup. New Short if you dare: youtube.com/shorts/O3Qf3...

I green-screened myself reacting to myself making Ice Cream Bread. Wore a Willie Nelson headband. Now I’m planning potato bread using 11 herbs from a dead woman’s will. Also Julia Child yelled at me. This is my Roman Empire. 📽️ Green screen chaos: youtube.com/shorts/bclLc...

I tried Julia Child’s scallops recipe. Then I panicked, poked them, and poured lime juice from a plastic bottle. (Yes, in France.) 🧄 New short is live: youtube.com/shorts/sPBGp... The cheese comes later. And it doesn’t ask permission.

I met Colonel Sanders in 1967. The chicken was crispy. The man was charming. And the 11 secret herbs and spices? Yeah, he wrote them on the back of his wife’s will. Because romance is paprika and chaos. youtube.com/shorts/XxHDC...
