Grim Sickers was catapulted into instagram culinary fame when he posted videos of him washing chicken fillets with lemon bleach and chucking them into the dryer for a quick spin. But make no mistake about it, Sickers can get down in the kitchen as those lucky enough to own Big Rap Cookbook volume 1 will know. His "Brown Stew Chicken" recipe was a favourite amongst our readership so we had to get him involved in the podcast.

We discuss buffet tactics, sports nutrition, his food experiences on tour and a recent car crash dinner date at an Indian restaurant.
