Music has always been one of my big passions, more
specifically hip-hop and r&b. there’s this hip-hop artist by the name of
Action Bronson who before became a famous lyricist, was a well-respected
fire-flame gourmet chef in New York City. I’ve seen him live once and between
songs he would speak on his experiences while working in the kitchen. He
described the parallels of cooking and making music as uncanny in a sense of
creating something and worrying about how to feed it to the masses, literally
and figuratively. I respect that because I can’t imagine the pressure in making
a dish for someone and them having to send it back in the same way as making a
song and no one liking it. His climb to fame in hip-hop allowed him to travel
the world and not only plays his songs for the people there, but to cultivate
all the culinary delicacies from unique places. Then Vice created a segment for
him called “F**k, That’s Delicious,” a web series of him speaking on dishes he’s
learned from around the way and his experiences while over there. The novelty
of the series is both humorous and insightful if you know his character and
what his history is. Here’s an episode from one of his segments from his trip
in Hawaii.
