This means I’m kicking off the sub-project Cooking The Album. I would come up with a cookbook that created recipes for every track (even the questionable ones) on this album. I KNEW this needed to be my next recipe zine project. 15 tracks from the sci-fi ninja of underground hip-hop with food-inspired titles (though technically two are questionable from a culinary standpoint).
The project has mostly been about random songs or bands that fit a food pun, but one day, while crate digging on Spotify to find some recipe titles, I found something extremely unexpected: Hence, More Songs About Music & Food was born. Those puns tended to be musically based (as I am a former music industry geek) and so when I looked for a project name, I settled on a riff on the Talking Heads debut album, More Songs About Buildings & Food.
MM FOOD MF DOOM ZIP PROFESSIONAL
So, over the course of my 8-year professional career, I made recipes with punny names.
MM FOOD MF DOOM ZIP PLUS
Add them to a menu and make customers order them is double plus good. Yeah, Bob’s Burgers is great, but I (and others like me) were doing this shit YEARS before them. Let’s be VERY clear: my obsession with menu puns pre-dates Bob’s Burgers. That led to More Recipes About Music & Food. I started this site and the Music & Food project because, after a cookbook for my old Q joint, I needed a new project, a new passion. I came back to Brooklyn and had a series of bad professional decisions that were mostly driven by the quest for cash. I once had my own BBQ joint in the middle of zero fucking nowhere. In 2018, I gave up on the bullshit of the NYC restaurant industry. “Running desperately low on food, they were forced to turn back”
