Anthony Bourdain: Three Little Pigs Sandwich

(Click Here to buy Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain)

TV is crap these days. Actually, it has always been crap, but that’s neither bricks of Hashish or slabs of Blowfish.

I really can only stomach that show American Greed, Marijuana Inc: Inside America’s Pot Industry (although I have only seen it once) and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.

I have been following Boudain since he wrote Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Click Here), which I consider a must read.

If you haven’t seen his show, its pretty dope: Travel, Drinking, Smoking and Eating Dope Spots. Hell, if I had a show (which I never would, I am way too low-pro) I would do it the same. Only adding swooping mad fly girls and rolling in Custom Suits (and it would be the best show on TV, no doubt).

Anyways, recently, Bourdain went to Chicago:

In the latest episode of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain went to Chicago and visited the Silver Palm restaurant. He had the Three Little Pigs Sandwich: smoked ham, a breaded pork cutlet, two strips of bacon, and two fried eggs, blanketed in a thick coat of gruyere, all on a brioche bun.

Bourdain is blown away, and drops tons of praise: “This is a work of genius, in an evil way…. A two-fisted symphony of pork, cheese, fat, and starch… that sandwich is the greatest sandwich in America. This is the apex of the sandwich-making art… the sandwich that dreams are made of.”

The Three Little Pigs Sandwich looked so dope, I had to make my own version:

Jamon Serrano
Freshly butchered Pork Chop (farm to table)
Four strips of Freshly butchered bacon (sustainable)
Free-range fried eggs
Imported Gruyere
On an Artisan Brioche Bun

Now that should help you when Entering The Dragon. Fuel The Dragon.

Dope.

I love the “low overhead” style of the video. Very timely.

Good beat, and Cam’ron busts some real flow.

This Recession/Depression is going to bring more good music.

As I have said before, with tough economic times comes better music.

Typical Cam wordplay:

Cam’ron – I Hate My Job (Lyrics)

Yo, I hate my boss
Dude think he know it all
And I know I know it all
But I follow protocol
Hope he sit in a casket
Got me sittin’ in traffic
It’s 7 a.m. (sheesh)
And I woke up late
Didn’t even have a shower
Lunch break, gimmie a break
A damn half-an-hour
All this bullshit for twelve bucks an hour
Plug me to Chuck D, wanna fight the power
Instead I light the sour before I go in the office
Being here eight hours sure will get you nauseous
Lady across from me telling me her problems
I’m looking at her like yo
How the fuck I’m gone solve ’em
You know her ethnicity
Car note, rent, don’t forget electricity
Internet, cable and the phone all connected
Food, gas, tolls oh now it’s getting hectic
Brand new clothes
Nah, you’d rather see me naked
Yo check it, I got my check
Now I’m feelin’ disrespected
Why am I workin’ here
It ain’t workin’ here, It ain’t worth it here
I’m never gone persevere
Ain’t no money for new shoes or purses here
I should’ve done my first career, huh
Nursin’ yeah
Now I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ ’bout the work I put in
This verse from the everyday working woman

I put on my pants, put on my shoes
I pray to God, paid all my dues
I’m tryin to win, seem like I was born to lose
All I can say is (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I say let me through
But they don’t let me through
You wanna quit, goddamn I’m ready to
Lifestyle I’m livin’ ain’t steady boo
All I could say (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hey yo I’m lookin’ for a job
Ain’t nobody hiring
Then I asked the boss
When y’all doing firing
You I’m admiring
Nice job, family man, car and
Lookin’ in these want ads are tiring
Could’ve been a fireman, learned to do wiring
Then get retirement, I blame my environment

I’m on an interview, for delivery
Locked up, felony, now the dude quizzin’ me
I’m workin’ on my future
Why you need to know my history
All he did was Google me, no big mystery
He ain’t diggin’ me
Politely he was dissin’ me
No we’re not hiring
But thanks for the visit, please
He ain’t want me, my grandmother warned me
Them goddamn felonies would haunt me, taught me
No second chance, back to the same block
Go home my baby’s mom done changed locks
This a game, huh, okay the game’s on
Then she opened the door with the chain on
Said she been reaching out for several days
I ain’t helpin’ out, we need to go our separate ways
I was just amazed, wanna go another route
Let me get my clothes
Said she took ’em to my mother’s house
She was pissed off, yeah P.O.’ed
And said go head and wild out
I’ll call your P.O.

I put on my pants, put on my shoes
I pray to God, paid all my dues
I’m tryin to win, seem like I was born to lose
All I can say is (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I say let me through
But they don’t let me through
You wanna quit, goddamn I’m ready to
Lifestyle I’m livin’ ain’t steady boo
All I could say (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I put on my pants, put on my shoes
I pray to God, paid all my dues
I’m tryin to win, seem like I was born to lose

You wanna quit, goddamn I’m ready to
Lifestyle I’m livin’ ain’t steady boo
All I could say (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Real Hip-Hop: Killah Priest- Listen to Me

I had the pleasure of kicking it with Killah Priest back stage a recent Wu-Tang show.

Game recognizing Game.

The guy is a class act, and seriously, so far ahead of everyone…

Killah Priest – Listen to Me

“I light my candle under Saint Anthony
Burning rosemary for friends and family
For those buried, for all humanity and soul’s heavy
Ride thru life like an old Chevy
Like at the world thru your rearview
And honk your horn till they hear you
So after you’re gon’ its tribute
For all the pain that you’ve lived thru
Rainstorms and now clear blue
A King’s gon’ on your mural
Wings form in the spiritual
The ritual for those we long here is my tears and the tissue
I opened it, look how they turned the diamonds
Showed you reflections cuz you’re still shining
The worldly body had to do some dying
Transformation, so I leave this here wit the plants’ fragrance
Before you roam the land of the ancient
My mind is the enigma filled wit broken pictures
The spiritual thug could see clearer now”

“Light up a cigar let the aroma reach up
It’s like the smile on the Mona Lisa
Holding a child that rose on Easter
Like a cloud passing ova Giza
Peep the styles of my older teachers
Thru a cloud when he blow his cheeba
His weed storm passes on then it rains down on my peoples”

Real Hip-Hop: 9th Prince – Banned From the Radio

RZA’s younger brother.

9th Prince – Banned From the Radio

“And the block is always hot, Godbodies got it locked
Like Fort Knox, we headliners, M-16 designers
C.E.O., slash, crime rhymers
No matter where you hide, my infrared’ll find ya
Lined ya, get you paranoid like ganja
The messenger, rhyme editor, walk like a predator
The streets is like a jungle
Crawling with scavengers with silencers
That’ll pop your watermelon, who you telling, what you selling?
Yo, nobody, peace to 9th Prince, so stop yelling
For God’s sake, ya’ll niggas is coke heads
Amped off of snow flakes, I’m on a paper chase
Flee the scene without a trace
Dipped down in black, it was me and the Ghostface
Army fatigued down, busting rounds at you clowns
I’m Kool like Moe Dee, so ‘how the fuck you like me now?’
My underground sound that breaks the compound, aiyo”

A jewel from back in 1997:

Now, BANKSY’S iconic image of Kate Moss will test the pockets of urban art collectors later this month when it comes up for auction. Despite rumours of a credit crunch (had you heard?) Bonhams, which will retail the piece, is confident.

“The Urban Art market remains buoyant judging by the interest this sale has aroused and we are pleased to continue to offer significant works by the most important artists in this field,” said Gareth Williams, head of Bonhams Urban Art department.

As the most notable artist in the sale Banksy’s pieces highly sought after. The Moss images are particularly covetable, being sold intact as a set of six, and are estimated to fetch £100,000 to £150,000.

Also appearing in the sale is Nola Pink by Banksy, which shows girl being rained upon from beneath her umbrella. It was one of a series of works that the artist painted in New Orleans to commemorate the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean up operation,” Banksy was quoted as saying.

The sale will take place on February 24. For a full listing of upcoming sales, plus details of Bonhams specialist departments, go to www.bonhams.com.
