The interview includes some of Kaytra’s thoughts about his famous Boiler Room set, which took place almost exactly a decade ago.

We now live in a world where celebs’ press cycles involve them going to fast food fried chicken joints in the U.K. — and soon, Montreal’s own Kaytranada will be one of those celebs.

Chicken Shop Date, the YouTube series hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg — wherein the self-proclaimed “refreshingly awkward” host interviews celebrities in classic British “chicken shops” — has become hugely popular on YouTube over the last few years, with many of its videos accruing view counts in the millions.

Kaytranada is the latest next guest on the popular series, and the interview (uploaded today, and featuring some of Kaytra’s thoughts about his famous Boiler Room set from 10 years ago) is available to watch below.

On Wedesday, when Dimoldenberg announced the forthcoming interview on Instagram, she posted a video of herself mouthing the words to Kaytranada’s remix of Teedra Moses’s “Be Your Girl,” with the St-Hubert native looking both annoyed and amused as she’s doing it.

Among the guests previously interviewed by Dimoldenberg over a meal of chicken and fries are Jennifer Lawrence, Shania Twain, Phoebe Bridgers, the Jonas Brothers, Ed Sheeran, Matty Healy of the 1975, Jack Harlow and Burna Boy. Dimoldenberg’s channel, where the Chicken Shop Date series is uploaded to, currently boasts more than 2 million YouTube subscribers.
