Michael B. Jordan Sent Fans Into a Frenzy When He Challenged Will Smith to a ‘Cook-off’

Michael B. Jordan has issued a challenge to Will Smith. As the star of the upcoming “Creed 2” movie crashed at Smith’s cabin, he decided to throw down in the kitchen while calling on Smith to a cook-off.

“Soooo I got the honor to use big bruh @willsmith cabin & raided his kitchen and thought to myself 🤔 the legend has done it ALL …But I’ve never seen him cook,” Jordan explained in an Aug. 23 Instagram post. “So I challenge you WILLARD C. SMITH to a cook-off. 👨🏾‍🍳🍳🥔🥩🐟 🥓 (Knowing him he got his masters from Le Cordon Bleu 😂😂😂).”

“I’m gonna make me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch…” Jordan says in the accompanying video before it cuts to a cooking montage.

Jordan whipped up some eggs and a dredge for French toast made of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, presumably including the General Mills cereal ingredient. He rounded out the meal with turkey bacon and sausage. But Jordan’s cooking didn’t stop there. He also whipped up a dinner of cheddar mashed potatoes, salmon, grilled New York strip steak, which had perfect grill marks and was basted in butter, and grilled asparagus. Plus, he tossed together some ground chicken nachos, complete with homemade nachos and topped with black beans and plenty of cheese and red onions.

“So, big bruh,” Jordan tells Smith. “Challenge.”

It didn’t take long for Smith, who famously tackled the “Shiggy/KeKe” challenge earlier this summer, to accept Jordan’s request.

“Challenge Accepted… Stay Tuned! :-)” Smith said.

And soon, Jordan got a famous chef in “Hell’s Kitchen” star Gordon Ramsay to volunteer his services. Even Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith gave her two cents.

“Need a judge??” Ramsay said.

“😳 can’t think of a better judge Let’s make it happen,” Jordan replied.

Pinkett Smith added, “This is going to be gooood😆.”

“😂” Jordan simply responded.

Additionally, model Winnie Harlow said, “OMG was hat Hawaiian rolls for French toast?!?! My whole life is changed. 🍞💗🍞💗🍞💗🍞”

Fans eagerly remarked on Jordan’s cooking skills, too.

“Breakfast && dinner!! …this man can cook!! 😩😩🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️”

“@kendra.i321 bruh … did he just make his own nacho chips ??? 🤩🌹✨ lololol.”

“That s— looks good as hell!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
