35 Recipes That Will Make You “Hot To Go!” Like Chappell Roan

Make one of these recipes or serve them to your paramour to feel “hot to go.”

“Hurry up, it’s time for supper! Order up, I’m hot to go!”

The undisputed song of the summer by breakout star Chappell Roan is both a YMCA-esque bop for children (with its repeat-after-me “H-O-T-T-O-G-O” lyrics) and an adult anthem about being, well, ready.

Woman suggestively eating pasta

Yeah, like that. It doesn’t take any imagination when listening to “Hot To Go!” to decipher what Roan is talking about. She’s upfront about it in this upbeat smash that seems ready-made for blaring at a football stadium.

It’s no surprise this song is also popular with the preschool set, from its perfectly poppy synth and spelled-out title to these lines from the chorus:


Snap and clap and touch your toes
Raise your hands, now body roll
Dance it out, you’re hot to go

You can see why my kid, who also loves “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” is drawn to this track.

But the song is really for the grownups. If it had come out in the ’90s, the CD would’ve had a parental advisory sticker on it and my mom wouldn’t have let it in her house.

If you want to be hot to go, here are several recipes that can help put you in the mood.

There are several foods that are considered aphrodisiacs (though it’s admittedly mostly hype). They include:

  • Dark chocolate
  • Fruit like strawberries, watermelon, blackberries, figs, avocados, and pomegranates
  • Nuts like pistachios
  • Oysters
  • Honey
  • Foods with hot peppers and spice
  • Anything suggestive
  • Booze

    Even asparagus makes one list, but I’m not sure I’m buying that!

    Regardless, here’s a recipe roundup that gives you a wide range of options that will help you get to “199 degrees” in no time. (Maybe.)

    Hurry up, it’s getting cold!
