The three-way between Action Bronson, music and food continues with the third edition of his Mr. Wonderful-inspired cooking and eating series Food Inspired by the Album. In Episode 2, he stays in New York City to visit his old friend Chef Michael White at Marea as they get in the kitchen and prepare a delicious meal while listening to "Terry," "Baby Blue" and "Falconry."
Bronson arrives at the restaurant with a small boombox and plays the three Mr. Wonderful selections as he and White chop it up out back discussing the music and trying to pair it with a certain type of dish that fits the track. White admits he listens to the album every day when he comes to work to get him in the zone, and two hit it off with their mutual love for food and music.
"Baby Blue" is paired with risotto because it is something "you would make naked and stir methodically." "Falconry" gets paired with a bird -- initially a swan, which becomes a quail.
White explains the proper way how to make a mushroom risotto, and since Bronson knows the proper technique, he gets himself a job offer if the rap thing does not work out. It appears as though Action is doing well for now, but that risotto looks delicious.
They sit down to their cooked meal and Bronson offers his first public review of wines as Marea's wine director Francesco Grosso brings out the best beverages for each dish. Watch the video below.
Action Bronson released his major label debut album Mr. Wonderful March 23, selling 49,000 copies in the first week. He recently announced the first leg of his "Mr. Wonderful" world tour. Check out the dates here.
