'Everything I Cook Is Good'
What do you cook?
I've taken a lot of traditional black recipes and made them healthy—taking the cholesterol out, taking the butter out. I also do fusion: Mex-Italian, Blasian [black Asian], Ghitalian [ghetto Italian].
What's your best dish?
Everything I cook is good.
What makes your show different from all the others?
We use foods that poor people can afford. I'll take a chicken outta Compton and make it taste better than Foster Farms. I'll take a cow from Brooklyn and you can go get some Kobe beef and mine will taste better.
What's with all the show references to Shaka Zulu?
I say Shaka Zulu because I've got a bad habit of saying motherf---er. So instead of saying s--t or f--k, now I say, Shaka!
Who's your main competitor?
I like Rachel Ray. I like Bobby Flay. I like all them cats. But they are not the Gourmet Ghetto, baby. My motto is, I cook better than your Shaka Zulu mama. And I wash my hands a lot.
So, Coolio: rapper turned culinary connoisseur?
Yeah. We're gonna transfer this to frozen foods, to restaurants. I'm going all the way.
Are you making a profit?
Coolio do not work for free, let me just say that. Coolio got six children, and Coolio likes nice things. And Coolio likes voluptuous women.

Comment: the target audience is 'who', again? You're way off. And actually, I am young. It's just that my mental maturity doesn't lie congruent with my biological age, as you would have it. And yes, it just so happens that I KNOW that there is a God; though my rendition of Him probably differs significantly from that of any of the mainstream understandings. Sorry, dude. No laughing matter there. I mean I could laugh, but then that wouldn't be too cool of me. Cool? Cool. And as far as open-mindedness is concerned... [you can go ahead and fill in the blank here. Take up as much time and space as you need.]

Comment: Likely your not in the target audience... ie Young, open minded, and eager to learn from whatever source. OH and you still think there's a god. :) good luck with that.

Comment: Very funny. It interesting how this show is able to so clearly define the generational divide. Interesting too to note the various comments ranging from those verging on racism (from folks who clearly ignored WATCHING the show prior to commenting) to those who miss the broader values... I'm impressed that the show works as well as it does... Children will explore their kitchens more, beyond what's boxed or canned.
