Oil cancels oil. So we use peanut butter to stop the capsaicin. Not milk, never water. Peanut butter! I just love you guys. So awesome to see your reactions.

"You did this to yourself" cracked me up.

LOL they were so sweet checking on him and Saying holler if you need me

He’s such a good sport.

Each staff member was so lovely!!! Jessi your whole outfit is just darling! As someone who's never tried Nashville hot chicken, I enjoyed seeing your first time reactions too!!🐣

I was saying “noooo, not the water”, lol. I like to put honey on the chicken. Funny good video!

Oh my god 😂😂 That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile , I’m glad you guys tried it 😂😂😂

Just remember that as you adjust to the burn, other flavors come through and they are good. It would have been better to start off slowly over a long period of trying different foods and slowly build up a tolerance to the heat. When I was a child, my Italian grandfather would put pepperoncino in the Sunday pasta sauce and I would cry because it burned. Today, I love to eat any number of spicy foods, mostly of the Asian variety. I use a ghost pepper sauce on my scrambled eggs, really enjoy kimchee as a condiment, and make my own spicy Thai peanut sauce. It is possible it to experience the burn on the way out too, but I'm used to that!! Chuck in Northern New England

You guys should really have your own show on television. Great couple having a ball, inviting us all on your journey from place to place and food to food. Better than anything on the FOOD channel.

Water is the worst thing to drink with hot food! 🤣🌶️ I was typing this is I was watching and I’m glad he came over and told you that it shouldn’t be water. I like spice and I have wanted to try Nashville hot chicken for the longest time. but I’ve been afraid too. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure. Part of me is jealous and part of me is incredibly grateful that it wasn’t me!!! 🥵

Yes, definitely eat some vanilla ice cream (as vanilla bean as possible) to help with the hot, spiciness. Cool milk is also much better to drink then water. Also Jessi, carry with you some creamy mints: If Alessio’s taste buds and sinus cavity anything similar to mine (which they appear to be - for me especially any Far East Asian spicy cuisine), creamy mints can act as a needed first aide for those taste buds, nasal passages and sinus cavity.

When Jessie raised that napkin to her eye the internet collectively yelled NOOOO!!!!!

This was hilarious and drinking water is not the correct thing to do. Yes ice cream or milk to help. Proud you tried it 🤗

" I need you" Got me 😅😅😅 and the hand wave 😅😅😅

Eating "shut the cluck up" reminds me of eating the 3rd hottest sauce on the menu at Buffalo Wild Wings called mango habanero. I have eaten the top 2 hottest sauces on their menu, and it wasn't fun. With the mango habanero sauce, I ate one wing and decided....."this tastes amazing! It's also not that hot!" After eating the first wing I immediately ate a 2nd wing because it tasted so good. It wasn't until I started eating the 3rd wing that the heat really started to kick in and I wished I wouldn't have eaten any of the wings lol. It ended up turning into a love/hate relationship. I wanted to stop eating because of how hot the sauce was, but at the same time the mango part of the sauce tasted phenomenal to the point where I wanted to continue eating the wings.

He looked so cute with hat socks and little flag. I couldn't stop laughing.

You two are the best! Please never stop making videos.

Both of you are so lovely, 🥰 shoutout to the staff 🌸

I love Alessio. You are so lucky to have hitched your wagon to him.

"It's opening all your holes" auhuahuahuahuhauhuhau 😂😂😂 Jessi reaction was even better hahahah 😂 but when I saw both of you drinking water and then Jessi cleaning her eye with that tissue I thought "omg no, don't do it!!!" and then...!😂

This is about 20 miles from my house and I have been there a couple times, It's not as hot as many others but it's good, consistent and the prices are reasonable. The edly's bbq they were at last week is just at the other end of the same center

I haven't tried Hattie Bs yet. I have had Prince's. Great to see y'all brave enough to try it. By the sounds of it Damn Hot sounds like about the right level.

I may have laughed a little too much at poor Alessio’s pain lol When I was pregnant with my second child, I loved spicy like I couldn’t have it spicy enough. I would get the spiciest from Zaxbys and they used to have one spicier than they do now 18 years ago, and it was like mild to me. I ate a bite of a ghost pepper like it was nothing idk why it didn’t bother me when I was pregnant lol now it would probably kill me but I enjoy spicy foods

I’m on the damn hot right now GET THAT MAN SOME ICE CREAM

Drink whole milk. Milk contains a protein called casein, which can break down capsaicin - much in the same way that dish soap can cut through grease. Doctors had previously assumed that whole milk would be more effective against spicy foods

As a Hattie B's regular customer at that same location in addition to the Melrose location, I think they might have went easy on you with that STCU tender. I have had it a few times and it was a much deeper red than that. I usually like to stick with the medium as it seems like a good balance between heat and flavor. You should try Princes (they are said to be the originators of the Nashville Hot Chicken and their spice levels are much hotter, believe it or not). Also, during hockey season, you should follow the Nashville Predators and see if anyone gets a "hat trick" during the game because you can go to Hattie B's that same day or the next day and get 3 tenders for free!!! Try the banana pudding sometime too. It is glorious. More useful tips for some of the local eats that you two are experiencing...at Edley's, try the burnt ends...so good. Also the wings at Martin's BBQ with the Alabama white sauce are divine. Jim and Nick's BBQ is good too but I prefer either Martin's or Edley's more. The turkey is good at Jim and Nick's and my wife loves the muffins there. I have not eaten at the Chuck E. Cheese location on Mallory Lane but I do need to take my youngest there sometime as he loved other ones that we have visited. Also, the Jason's Deli next door is great too. I love their salad bar or their half-soup /salad bar option. Bishop's Meat & Three next to Jason's Deli and CEC is also owned by the same owners of Hattie B's and you will see some overlap in the menu options. I enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming. EDITED: I wanted to add that I have had the same thing happen to me when opening the sauces there. The splatter has had many casualties. EDITED AGAIN TO ADD: The first time I had Hattie B's was back in 2017 and was before my family moved to Brentwood. I waiting in the rain at a location closer to downtown Nashville for almost an hour. I ordered the STCU tender as well. I was trying to split it with my wife and the plastic knife they give you wasn't cutting it in half like I had hoped. I picked the tender up with my hands and finish pulling it apart. I ate it and all was well. Thought it had good flavor but definitely packed a punch. My eyes started to water, naturally, and then I absentmindedly wiped my eyes with my fingers that I tore apart the STCU tender apart with earlier. HOLY COW!!! The BURN was awful. I was embarrassed and the table next to me started looking at me and laughing. There was a line of people blocking the path to the bathroom. I sat there for entirely too long before I walked to the bathroom, in tears, my face beet red, sweating, and trying to make my way through the line out the door. I made it to the bathroom and washed my hands thoroughly and then ran cold water over my eyes for several minutes. It sucked!!! After it was all done, I walked back to the table to resume the rest of my meal and left Nashville with a story to tell my friends and family.

Loved watching your reactions! I’ve never had Nashville hot chicken. But we bought the Hot Ones (KZfaq channel) hot sauces from their last season & ate them all on wings like they do, from mildest to hottest, 10 sauces. A few things I took away from that. When you talk right away after taking a bite, it gets so much hotter. The air moves it around your mouth & down your throat like Alessio said. We made food to eat in between bites to help take away the heat & what helped 100% was grilled zucchini. Better than potatoes or anything else we tried.

Chicken and waffles from the Dutch, eating it before America was America.

Love it! I'm glad you survived the heat. Ice cold milk and ice cream are best to soothe from all that afterburn. Totally separate subject but has Alessio ever had pepper cookies? I just on my way out to the bakery to pick up a batch.

Best fried chicken I've had (queued for 20 minutes - was worth it!) Banana pudding is also amazing :)

I have so much empathy for this poor guy. He took it well, though. I had a similar reaction to a curry once....I did not think the heat would ever go away.

Not sure what camera you're using, but this looks fantastic! I love your channel, it's great!😊

Should have a milkshake on hand

For anyone wondering, capsacin or the heat from peppers is fat soluble, its not necessarily milk that works

You’re a brave man Alessio 😊

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you you two. I needed that. lol.

I wish the restaurant would offer a little sampler plate. With chicken nuggets in each of their flavors. I feel so much gets wasted because you can't eat the hot chicken. And I think it be fun to try all of them from mild to spicy.

I’m going to be in Nashville in a few days, and I’m going to try Hattie B’s for the first time.

Y'all are so funny. Love the video's.

I learned if you eat something really spicy you should drink milk or something milk based to decrease the taste of spicyness

I was dying every time you took a drink of water!! Sour cream, milk, butter or ice cream

When the sauce cup burps on you it's the worst haha

Y’all are hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣

Great. Now I am off for a chicken sandwich :)

Ice cream is the way to go w/hot stuff!!! I did the 10 Hot Wing Sauces and made it w/a pint of Vanilla ice cream👍🏻

I love you guys!!! 😂

Woooow those chicken sandwiches look soooooo good 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤩. The reaction of Allesio is sooo funny 🤣🔥🔥🔥

Awesome video I enjoy watching them 😀

Alessio's facial expressions reminds of a hot sauce that I had back in the day called "Pain Is Good!" Fantastic sauce that gave me the exact same response.

I love his reactions lol

Hahah Alessio Is bucked and Jesssi joy is so apparent...the smile 🤣🤣

OK-- "Its open all your holes"-- is officially my favorite quote of the month.

I’ve gone on yelp and seen there’s at least a few pho joints in Nashville and I desperately want y’all to check them out.

Getting SWAG: Bucket hat & Socks... BRAVO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I get the feeling he would not enjoy being in an episode of Hot Ones...

When you had the hottest one, should have eaten the waffle with the syrup; it will help to counteract the spice; the Scoville level in a chili pepper is determined on how much sugar it takes to neutralize the heat

It's always so fun to see Alessio try new food ... he is a very good sport! So glad that the folks at the restaurant were watching out for y'all and trying to help when he ate the hottest sauce.

One of the best episodes yet! Love and health to you both! Cheers ❤

He took a bite and spit it out. He didnt even eat it, but she keeps saying you did it!

So BRAVE!! I could never, congratulations 🌶️🍨!!

There is really no point in doing this challenge unless you’re going to take a normal bite and swallow it. But regardless you guys are hysterical.😂

Eat the waffles! The sweetness offsets the heat and the bread absorbs the spices.

When we see the panic set in on your faces. OMG! 😅

I love spicy food. Unfortunately, spicy food doesn't like me. I'm why they invented Alka-Seltzer. Don't drink water with hot spice, drink milk.

Fun video! George was so kind!

I love that chicken restaurant! I had the pleasure of eating there last year! It is very good!

0:26... "The moment he realized he f***ed up..."

OMG! NO WATER!!! Milk, milkshakes, ice cream, like that! NEVER water or soft drink stuff…♥️

The manager steered you right with the ice cream. It is the best solution to calm the burn.

Thanks for the laugh!!

Oh my goodness that looks delicious 😋 I used to love red hot cherry peppers. Until I grew them. I took one mini nibble off the peppers and it was horrible for hours. I’ve never eaten them or grown them since😂😂😂

I haven’t laughed so much in such a long time. Great video 😊

Love the staff! So fun!

HE DOES LOOK CUTE IN THAT HAT 😂

To absorb the oil that makes the “hot” pour salt on your tongue. Or use a slice of bread to soak it up.

i love Alessio! He is so funny and yet trusting!

OMG!! This is hilarious. 😂😂😂

"It's opening all the holes!" This episode was the best. Way to go Alessio! You did it.

You’re a brave soul, Alessio. Guy Fieri always drinks milk to soothe hot food. The protein casein helps to counteract the capsaicin in the chili peppers. Bravo ten times for one of my favorite couples. 👏 PS. That test is not for me

I laughed till I cried when I saw him dip that tender in water!🤣 Big cluckin' mistake because water spreads the capsaicin oil that is the source of the heat. I really love❤️ extra Thai hot curry and I'm kind of afraid to try the 'Shut the Cluck Up'.😬 Congratulations Alessio!🎉

“I’m invisible” is now THE reaction to spicy food

Love hearing Sly singing in the background while you're eating Shut the Cluck up! LOL

LOL his face was classic!! the owner was so nice! he deserves the traffic!

What an amazing team at the restaurant! They really looked after you guys. Congrats on trying the different kinds of heat. Never will I ever eat spicy chicken.

Lol funny😂

6:16 “that’s what she said” 😂😂😂

Bless your hearts! LOL! I love y'alls channel. ❤

I just had an idea. I’m from the mid Ohio valley (West Virginia) there are Amish and Mennonite communities throughout a couple states..you guys should take a trip to Pennsylvania and go to the Shady Maple (Amish Buffet) it’s the largest in America! And he could learn a little about Amish and Mennonite cultures! It’s not like eating BBQ but it’s an experience both of buffet culture and the Amish

"Fire extinguisher" 😄😄😄 I'm sorry, Alessio, but this was so funny! And Jessi's "delayed reaction" 😄😄😄

I like a regular plain piece of chicken, and I'll sprinkle the hot sauce on it, then add minced coleslaw on the bun. The coleslaw cools the heat of the spice, but let's you taste the pepper sauce. 👵☮️🖖

Apple Sauce is also a very good thing to use with spicy chicken. Helps cool it down... at least for me.

😆 🤣 😂 you did better than I would have! I cannot handle spicy at all!

I've never laughed so hard Alessio . Thank you.

The best thing for hot stuff is something SWEET……..been eating hot stuff for over half a century. 11:00

In New Mexico I would have to use ice cubes to cool my mouth

If it burns going in, you know it’s going to burn coming out too! 😂🥵🤯

I love that adorable outfit! That print is SO sweet!!!!

Pineapple works wonders at breaking down the capsaicin bc of the enzyme bromelain. That same enzyme is why if you eat too much fresh pineapple it can make your mouth feel 'strange' (I always joke that pineapple is the fruit that eats you back lol). It's also the reason it makes a great ingredient in marinades, it breaks down tough cuts of meat!

The potato salad works!! haha, You are officially a southern US American now, Alessio.

I love watching your videos. U guys r so funny
