Vegas Unstripped 2026 was anything but chill. 🍽️🔥

This year, ETR hit Vegas Unstripped 2026 with Ash on the ground solo, repping the team, making rounds, talking food, and apparently turning it into a full-time campaign against John. 😂

From chef chats to industry mingling, Ash made sure every conversation somehow circled back to giving John a little grief. Priorities.

Vegas Unstripped always brings together some of the best chefs, restaurants, and culinary talent in Las Vegas for a night of incredible food, drinks, and community—and ETR was there to capture it all.

In this episode:
