March 11, 2025 Something’s Burning: Track and Field and Football with RG3 + Grete Griffin | S5 E3

NFL Rookie of the Year (2012) Robert Griffin III and his just-as-impressively-athletic wife, Grete, stop by the New Orleans kitchen to chat about heptathlons, plaits vs braids, and being overprepared. Plus, I’m experimenting with upside-down cooking… and it goes as well as can be expected.
