If I was at a restaurant and eating a delicious meal, I might have second thoughts about cleaning my plate if I found out the chef was an aging, few-hit wonder with pipe-cleaner braids jutting wildly from his scalp. Yet, somehow, for some reason, Coolio thinks he has quite a bit to offer in the way of cooking advice. Hence his new web cooking show, Cooking With Coolio.

From the press release:

Coolio is blazing new territory and taking on Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray and all other competitors by creating “Cookin’ with Coolio” for My Damn Channel. In this original weekly series, he will teach viewers to cook soul dishes that are fast, healthy and affordable. Using only the freshest ingredients from local supermarkets, Coolio will invite viewers into his home kitchen as he whips up Fall-Off-The-Bone Chicken, Soul Rolls and more. Coolio will be joined by two sexy soux chefs, “The Sauce Girls,” and by celebrity friends. “Cookin’ with Coolio” will be produced by Dead Crow Pictures.

“When it comes to the kitchen, I’m on a mission,” Coolio said. “I’m the neighborhood ghetto witch doctor superhero and I’m gonna make you forget about every other cooking show you’ve ever seen.”

Scrumptious! Wait until the Food Network gets a load of this. They’re going to snatch him right up.
