Bingeable RTE cooking show delivers over-the-top and oddly satisfying recipes
Chef Daniel Lambert knows what it's like to feel hangry. But being famished to the point of being grumpy - known by the playful portmanteau "hangry" - has resulted in some of his best recipes, which millions of people now watch him whip up online. "I deep fried a piece of cheese covered in Doritos one night and I got a million views," says the TikTok star and host of new RTÉ Player series Look Who's Hangry. "It's just kind of changed my life." Lambert - a classically trained chef by trade - turned to TikTok during the COVID-19 lockdowns, shortly after leaving his job. What started as a passion project quickly caught on with the app's millions of users - Lambert now boasts more than 300,000 followers on TikTok alone, something he attributes to his "emotional" cooking approach. "I like making people emotional - often they're waiting for me to say it at the end of the video!", he says. Look Who's Hangry hit our screens at the beginning of the month. The show sees two creators pitted against each other to create unconventional yet appealing dishes, with Lambert lending his culinary expertise to both contenders along the way. Highlights so far include deep-fried pistachio and sundried tomato ice cream, as well a jerk prawn sushi roll. Aside from these (often unholy) combinations, Lambert sees the show as an opportunity to broaden his gastronomic horizons. "The highlight of making it would probably be learning different cultures and different cuisines, and seeing how people react to different things," he says. "The response has been insane," he says, since the show debuted on the RTÉ Player. "My inbox was full of people saying 'What's this?' - because we released it so quickly, everyone keeps rewatching the episodes. It's great." Hanger is a real emotion - not eating enough can lead to low blood sugar, which in turn releases stress hormones. The brain can often crave salty or fatty foods in this state - luckily, Lambert has plenty of recipes ready to meet these needs. "What I do is get Koka noodles and make them into a wrap," he says. "Then I fry them in a pan with butter and make cheesy enchilada wraps, they're unbelievable - great for a hangover!" The link between hangovers and hanger is strong, and the mind can often crave the same kind of unhealthy meals. "You lose a lot of salt when you're out drinking," Lambert says. "You're then replenishing that salt the next day - that's why we crave those kind of foods!" Daniel's shared two of his favourite hangry recipes down below - perfect after a night out, a night in or when any hunger pangs kick in! Look Who's Hangry is currently available for streaming on RTÉ Player.

TikTok creators go head to head in culinary showdown
Earlier today, RTÉ Player launched Look Who's Hangry, a culinary showdown that sees content creators go head-to-head in the kitchen. Hosted by chef and TikTok star Daniel Lambert, this brand-new food competition series pits two creators against each other in a battle of bizarre food mashups and culinary chaos. Think peanut butter and jam sandwiches deep-fried in salt and vinegar crisps, or a Jerk prawn carbonara sushi roll. These are the hangry concoctions most would never admit to eating, let alone attempt to elevate. Each episode is packed with fun, flavour, and fast-paced behind-the-scenes energy as Daniel recreates the contestants' wildest food fantasies. This series will feature James Doyle vs Marie-Claire Fitzpatrick; Callyann Brennan vs Cian Mooney; Victoria Adeyinka vs Seamus Lehane; Jonny Murphy vs Faye Shortt; Cliona O'Connor vs Kerry Cowboy Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin; Amanda Adé vs Tom Murray. In the end, only one creator can win, and the decision rests solely in Daniel's hands. Chef Daniel Lambert, known for his wildly inventive food content, takes these unconventional cravings and transforms them into next-level creations. Speaking on the show, Lambert said: "It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and it's full of food - basically everything that happens when you're hangry and creative at the same time. We took mad ideas, ran with them, and somehow made them taste unreal. "Look, I never thought turning chaos into cuisine would be my full-time job, but here we are. Fronting this series is wild: the ideas are mad and the flavours bang. "If your eyes aren't watering from the spice or the feels, I've done something wrong." Stream Look Who's Hangry on RTÉ Player now.
