- What do we say?
- When they go low, we go to hell.
They go to hell every single time.
- We went to hell a few times in Season 7.
- I haven't got to hell yet.
- I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
- I haven't gone to hell yet.
- Hi, I am Chrishell Stause.
- And I'm Chelsea Lazkani.
I am British Nigerian
and today I am sharing some of my favorite Nigerian dishes
with my best friend,
while we talk about some of my culture
and the tea on Selling Sunset Season 7.
I brought you one of my favorite Nigerian dishes,
actually a combination of a couple of things.
It's from my favorite restaurant
by one of my great friends,
his name is Chef Eros.
And today we have fried rice.
- [Chrishell] Okay.
- [Chelsea] Suya, which is like a seasoned beef,
some beans and plantains.
- [Chrishell] Well, I'm starving, so I'm excited.
I've never had Nigerian food.
I'm excited to dig in.
- Okay.
- And, okay, is anything really spicy?
- The great thing about my friend's restaurant,
he does this elevated Nigerian cuisines
that kind of have a little bit of a California flare,
so it's not gonna be super, super spicy
as it would be in Nigeria.
- Okay.
- But, it's really good.
- This is a good place for me to start.
- It's a good place for you to start.
Yeah, yeah.
- It smells amazing.
Now, do you cook this at home?
- Yeah, so I actually,
it's funny because I started cooking
probably when I was about- - That's delicious.
- Six years old.
There was this kind of rule in my household
when my mom was cooking, everybody had to be in the kitchen.
So since I was six, I've been in the kitchen with my mom.
So when I started cooking- - That was a little spicy.
- It's spicy?
- Shepherd's pie or like the traditional American cuisine
or like Asian cuisine, which I love to cook so much,
it's just so much easier
because I'm so used to cooking Nigerian food,
which is really complicated.
A lot of it can be acquired taste.
We mix like a lot of seasonings
and a lot of harder to get ingredients,
so some of the dishes can take four to five hours to cook?
Yes. - Oh, my God.
- Have you ever tasted Jollof rice before?
- I haven't.
- Okay, so if I was to ever recommend any dish
for anyone to eat
my first Nigerian dish would be Jollof rice.
It's famous. - Oh, okay.
- There's different types of Jollof rice;
There's Nigerian Jollof rice, there's Ghanaian Jollof rice,
there's Senegalese Jollof rice,
there's Jollof rice from all different countries in Africa.
And there's this ongoing war between what country in Africa
has the best Jollof rice.
- And what is it exactly?
- So, it's a rice
that's mixed in with like a red peppered stew.
- Ah.
- And then some people add like prawns to it,
shrimp, people add bay leaf to give it the flavor.
Some people add vegetables, tomatoes, onions,
and it's just like a flavored red rice.
- Here we go.
Can I take the spice or not? We will see.
- Mm.
Mm.
Mm. - It's not too spicy.
- It's not spicy.
- I loved it.
It was so... that would take a long time to cook.
Okay, people are going to love you by the way.
- It's so delicious.
- If you don't love Jollof rice,
everyone would be like, oh my gosh.
- How would you not like that?
I can tell someone literally was in the kitchen
cooking this forever,
and that's why I'm like, wait, don't take this one.
I want this one.
- You know? Okay, in Nigeria we love spices.
So on, on a scale of one to ten,
this would probably be like a one for me.
In terms of like spiciness, what would it be for you?
- I don't, I don't find this super...
Maybe I didn't get a spicy bite, but that wasn't very spicy.
- So, is the show spicier than this?
- Oh, there's a show, Selling Sunset Season 7,
it's gonna pack a little bit more of a spice than this bowl.
But my season 7- - Say it's about 5-6.
I think my spice went up a little bit in 7.
I'd had it.
I'm happy to be sitting here eating food with you, Chelsea.
(Chrishell laughs)
- What's like the latest between you and Nicole?
I know last season you mentioned she needed a storyline,
that's why she was coming at you.
Do you still feel the same way?
- I'm not gonna be accused of being a crack head
by someone who has nothing else to throw at me.
- My opinion has not changed on her motives, to be honest,
because every single time it was proven
that what she was actually mad at was something else,
then she changed what, you know, she changed,
she switched it up on me.
- How'd you navigate that?
Because if someone actually has fundamental beef with you-
- Not well,
- Bre and I, we obviously were on separate like pages
for many things.
- [Chrishell] Yeah.
- [Chelsea] That's easier to understand
because there's a reason.
When you're like, I don't know why you don't like me.
That's such an awkward position to be in.
- That's the most frustrating part,
especially when, you know
before this I really genuinely thought we were friends.
- Yeah.
- So I think that that makes it harder
'cause I think, you know, I had, you know
something happened later in the season with Nicole.
It's like, what is your actual reasoning?
- I'm still dying to know.
- Be honest- - Genuinely, I'm dying.
'cause I will never get over
the first day filming Season 6,
we're in an office scene and you came to me-
- Okay.
- And you were like, "I think Nicole has it out for me."
- Oh, I did, yeah.
- You were like, "I don't want any drama."
- And I will continue to say
everything I say about you is true.
(Chrishell laughs)
- Like, I don't know what the issue is.
And I was like, "No, no, no, no.
I think it's in your head."
- Yeah, you did.
And I was like, you know what, you're right.
- Yes.
- That's probably weird
because there was a lot going on.
- That's what you said.
And then I ate my words two weeks later
at my own broker's open.
I was like, "Oh shit, you were right."
Suya is a peppered beef.
- [Chrishell] Okay. - [Chelsea] Traditionally, in Nigeria,
this is made extremely spicy.
When I say extremely spicy,
I mean your nose will be running when you eat it.
It reminds me of Nigeria, it reminds me of home.
This is...
no, we definitely don't use chopsticks to eat Suya.
- (laughs) Okay.
- (laughs) But this is kind of cute, though.
What are we gonna do with this.
Ah, don't need chopsticks for Suya.
That's the type of thing that you'd get
after you finish the club or you're at a party.
They serve Suya last.
- Okay.
- So, it's not like a dessert, but it's like a little snack.
- The orange makes more spicy. - Do you want me to taste test it?
- The orange makes it more spicy. - Yeah, tell me how spicy it is
so I'm ready,
so I'm prepared.
- Oh, it's so good.
You know what, babe?
You're gonna be fine.
- Okay.
Oh, my God.
- It's so good.
- That is delicious. - This is so good.
Ile Bistro.
- Okay.
- It's so good.
We're both no stranger to beef on reality TV.
- True.
- I'm not sure how much reality TV you watch.
I watch quite a lot.
- Oh, same.
- What's your favorite beef on reality TV so far?
That you can remember?
Because there's so many.
- Remember with New York and she was,
you know, on Flavor of Love,
and it was her like fighting with Pumpkin.
Hey, New York is one of my favorite reality TV characters
of all time.
And so I feel like now she's having a comeback
which I'm excited about
because who's not gonna root for her?
- The Real Housewives of Potomac give me my life.
I'm sorry, but those ladies know how to fight.
They go, they go like... we say, when they say
- When they go low, we go to hell. (laughs)
- When they go low, we go to hell.
They go to hell every single time.
- That's delicious.
What's this over here?
- It's just vegetables.
There's vegetables and then there's some pepper chicken
on the side.
- I like that this isn't, I love this spice.
- It's so good.
- I really like this, this isn't too spicy for me.
- You'll see it's starting to kick in a little bit.
Can you taste it?
- I do feel that. I do feel that. (laughs)
I do feel that, actually.
- The more bites you take, the more it kicks in.
- But I like it because it's like,
you know, like tipping your toe in.
It's not like hit you all at once.
Okay, so now you have to give me the latest on you and Bre.
- Okay.
Okay, so Season 6 was a lot for me.
It was really, really heavy.
- With everyone sitting here.
- I apologize for talking about you and your situation.
We won't mention anytime Nick has another baby.
- Yeah, well good luck.
He may have 85 more.
I don't give a fuck.
- And I actually for the first time in my life
had some regrets,
'cause I was like, "Oh my gosh,
I am a mother, she's a new mom,
and I went in guns blazing, really being so judgmental,
and it didn't align with the person that I want to be."
So, as we started filming Season 7,
the first thing I really wanted to do was apologize,
and say like, "I am so sorry for judging you
and voicing those opinions upon first meeting you."
And I went in with that apology
knowing that she may not be receptive to it
because a lot of harsh things were said.
As Season 7 progressed,
I kind of realized that I think she's so beautiful.
She's obviously a hustler.
We have those same, the hustler part in common.
- Yes, we guys have so many things in common.
- We go at it. We go at it.
But, at the same time, we're very different.
My kind of approach with Bre now, is like,
I just want to be like kind and respectful
and see if something evolves in the future.
And if it does, fantastic.
- I'm working on this bridge. I'm working on this bridge.
- And if it doesn't, that's also good.
But we're gonna respect each other
and I'm gonna respect her and respect her life.
And that's where I'm at.
- Ah, this makes invitations to everything much easier.
- Right?
- I had some regret and I don't really say that frequently.
I had some regret.
- Listen, Season 7 I had some regret too. (laughs)
- [Chelsea] Famous Nigerian dessert, it's called Puff Puff.
It's like a fried dough.
It's kind of sweet.
It's usually served warm
and you just kind of like take a bite of it.
- Okay.
- It's like a donut.
- Mm-hm, It's like a donut.
It's what we call like Nigerian donut.
- It was really good.
- What do you hope viewers take away from Season 7?
- I think I hope viewers take away from Season 7,
that there really are some really strong friendships.
And I feel like, you know, you are seeing us
at our good days and our bad days,
but I'm hoping it comes through to viewers,
you know, who we are as a whole person.
Because listen, I wanna keep my bills paid,
but they really tried me. (laughs)
- You know, I completely agree with you
and I think that what I would love for viewers
to really understand is that we are human
and sometimes you just don't like people.
- Yeah.
- And that just is what it is.
And that is okay.
But we are evolving as humans and we watch back every season
and we reflect and we're like
we could have done this better,
because I think watching back seasons for me,
it gives me perspective on things
that I could grow and evolve from
and things that I'm like,
you know what, you're better than Season 5 and 6.
- Yeah.
- In this situation.
- And I think that that goes
with like the takeaway in general is that,
you know we are really strong, confident women.
- Yeah.
- And when we work together, you cannot stop us.
