Rapper and former chef Action Bronson is working with Vice’s food network “Munchies” on a new cooking show. It looks pretty amazing, check out the trailer below:

Bronson, an Albanian immigrant, was a well-known chef in NYC before entering the rap game. He even had a cooking show before his mix tapes blew up and set him jet setting around the world.

The info on the video lists a number of up coming episodes taking place in NYC, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. But Bronson was in RVA last summer, and the video says “future episodes will include trips through the southeastern United States, England, and Eastern Europe.”

Did Action Bronson stop by your bar or restaurant and ask to speak with your chefs or kitchen staff when he was in town? Let us know because we’d love the inside scoop on this.

Shoot us an email – hello@rvamag.com and let us know your Bronsolino cooking stories.
