It’s the culinary gate that shook up the world. Recently Bryce James found himself at the center of an internet storm after a lighthearted conversation about cooking turned into a full-on grilling. What started as an innocent claim by LeBron James’ son, asserting that he was skilled in the kitchen—able to whip up steak, pasta, and Alfredo—soon unraveled under the pressure of some pointed questions.
How Kevin Hart Exposed Bryce James Lying About Being Able to Cook Steak
The catalyst for the viral clip was none other than comedian Kevin Hart, who, after hearing Bryce’s boast, decided to press him on his culinary claims. What followed was a spectacular display of uncertainty, as Bryce struggled to answer even basic questions about preparing a dish he had confidently said he could cook.
It all started innocently enough, with Bryce casually mentioning his cooking skills. His comments seemed harmless—until Kevin Hart, who’s known for his ability to sniff out exaggerations, turned to Druski and expressed doubt about Bryce’s ability to cook a steak.
This was no idle remark. Kevin, with his sharp eye for spotting lies, then pushed Bryce further, asking about the specific kinds of steak he claimed to be proficient in preparing. Bryce, likely caught off guard, answered with what he thought would impress: “NY and Wagyu.”
Here’s where things took a turn for the worse. Kevin Hart, ever the interrogator, then posed a simple but revealing follow-up question: “How do you prepare Wagyu steak?” Bryce froze.
His face contorted in confusion as the question clearly threw him off balance. He stammered, struggling to come up with an answer, his confidence evaporating right before the camera.
It was one of those moments where even the most seasoned cooks know—if you claim to be able to cook something as prestigious as Wagyu, you better have a solid game plan.
Bryce, however, had no response. The clip of his inability to answer went viral almost immediately, further fueling the public’s perception that perhaps his culinary talents were more fiction than fact.
What makes this moment even more noteworthy is the broader context of the James family’s public image. LeBron James, Bryce’s father, has often been involved in minor controversies related to exaggerations or outright fabrications, whether about his accomplishments or more trivial matters.
While these moments are typically lighthearted or brushed off, they contribute to a growing sense of scrutiny around the James family’s claims.
Bryce’s cooking blunder only added fuel to the fire, as fans and critics alike couldn’t help but draw parallels between his cooking gaffe and his father’s past tendency to embellish certain details. The idea that someone as public as Bryce could be caught in such a simple lie about cooking—an everyday task—added a layer of irony to the situation, making it all the more amusing for viewers.
The viral video sparked a wave of memes, commentary, and reactions from fans, with many pointing out that it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of boasting about skills you may not have. One of the most viral posts had the caption “Lying Run in LeFamily”.

It’s a bit like claiming to be a seasoned athlete and then being asked to explain your game plan. If you don’t know the basics, the house of cards starts to collapse quickly.
In Bryce’s case, it was his lack of knowledge about Wagyu that exposed the crack in his confident cooking persona. And, in a way, the internet’s reaction mirrored how a lot of people feel when someone claims expertise in an area they don’t fully understand. It’s one thing to say you’re good at something, but it’s another to be able to back it up when the pressure is on.

Kevin Hart’s playful but probing questioning did more than just expose Bryce’s lack of culinary expertise—it highlighted a universal truth. Cooking, like any other skill, requires a certain level of knowledge and preparation, not just bravado.
It’s one thing to throw around fancy names like “NY strip” or “Wagyu,” but it’s another to understand how to bring out the best in those cuts of meat. Just as someone can claim to be a great basketball player but struggle when put to the test on the court, Bryce was caught in a similar position with cooking. It wasn’t so much that he wasn’t good at cooking—it was that he wasn’t as knowledgeable as he appeared to be.
In the aftermath, the viral clip became a moment of reflection for anyone who’s ever exaggerated their abilities to impress others. Whether in the kitchen, on the basketball court, or in any other area of life, there’s always the danger of getting caught in a lie—or, at the very least, being exposed as less skilled than you let on.
For Bryce, this humorous but revealing moment likely served as a reminder that sometimes, it’s better to underpromise and overdeliver rather than risk getting caught in a cooking conundrum. The next time he claims to whip up a Wagyu steak, perhaps he’ll do a little more homework beforehand.
