During the episode, Teigen tasted different tear-inducing hot sauces while discussing some of her most [controversial Twitter food moments](http://time.com/5399574/chrissy-teigen-shuts-down-body-shamer-on-twitter-after-2018-emmys/), such as why she thinks that Nutella is unimpressive (“You’re eating chocolate in the morning. It’s the mimosa of foods, you’re having a drink in the morning — which is fine, but that’s what I have to say about Nutella”) and why she thinks that Milky Way candy bars are inferior (“They _are_ trash”). > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/951342093779156993) However, the most polarizing opinion Teigen may have had about food on the show was about Chicago-style deep dish pizza, which she bluntly asserted, “is not pizza” before acknowledging that this statement would “be a thing.” Between bites, Teigen also explained what really goes down at awards shows, disclosed the secrets behind her buzzy Instagrams, and showed viewers an impressive way to slice an avocado like a pro. Watch Teigen eat hot wings and address the haters below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5415806/chrissy-teigen-hot-ones/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5415806/chrissy-teigen-hot-ones/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen Discusses Inferior Foods Over Spicy Wings","datePublished":"2018-10-04T19:17:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:16.918Z","description":"Chrissy Teigen discusses her strong food opinions over hot wings in the new Hot Ones episode.","url":"https://time.com/5415806/chrissy-teigen-hot-ones/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5415806/chrissy-teigen-hot-ones/","name":"Chrissy Teigen Discusses Inferior Foods Over Spicy Wings"}}]}] ```
