Rapper Action Bronson scored a cooking show through VICE awhile back but he also doesn't mind filming a family baking session that results in a delicious dish.
Bronson, aka Arian Asllani, decided to show the world how to make an Albanian pastry known as a Börek with the help of his aunt and cousin. There's a lot of dough work involved in making the pastry, which includes ground beef, onions and an array of spices. The end result is a flaky pod filled with beef that Bronson likens to Chicago deep-dish pizza.
VICE's food offshoot, Munchies, hosts Bronson's new cooking web series called F*ck, That's Delicious, which shows the rapper's culinary adventures while on tour. The series follows Bronson to New York, London and, in an episode set to air Oct. 1, New Orleans. "The food show allows me to share my passion," Bronson told NME. "Both my mother and grandmother were cooks, so I learned it from them. I like to cook to Spanish and Latin music. If you're in the kitchen, you have to listen to rhythms, so I'd suggest bands like El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico and, if you like piano, Larry Harlow and Eddie Palmieri."
The Queens-born rapper shared a track, "Easy Rider," last month from his upcoming album titled Mr. Wonderful. No release date has been set, but Bronson seemed very positive about the effort when he spoke to NME. "The album is sounding incredible. The whole album is a standout," he said. "I don't care about individual songs, I'm trying to make a complete, classic project. I just do my music uninfluenced by anybody else, or current trends, and it comes together at the end. Nothing needs to have a fucking theme all the time. This is just rap. I'm not trying to make people think I'm some sort of scientific wizard or inspirational poet."
Bronson's last release was the 2013 EP Saaab Stories.
