Introducing the official game show of the Takedown … the MIND KITCHEN!!! When we were little, my brother and sister invented this game. I was invited by Heritage Radio Network to steal it from them in order to sell out and make millions! This food-centric radio station broadcasts out of Roberta’s Pizza in Brooklyn!
Here’s the rules: contestants are given 5 ingredients and a vast imaginary kitchen with which to create a 3-course meal, using only the ingredients and a few basics- salt, sugar, butter, oil… using only paper and pencil, they get to work in the kitchen… in their minds.
Adam Aleksander (director of unprecedentedevents.com), Rachel Wharton (Editor of Edible Brookyln, Edible Manhattan Magazines) and George Motz (director of The New York Food Film Festival) were my first guests. They blew the show out of the water and onto the beach, where it festered in the hot sun! While they considered how best to use coconut, lima beans, hot dogs, sweet potatoes and peanut butter, I played heavy music (Slo Burn, Melvins, and Weedeater) in the breaks and bantered! Hope you enjoy this first attempt! And if you don’t, we can call the next episode “controversial” …
Rachel Wharton went straight home and blogged about it at Edible Manhattan! Just so you know!
P.S. here’s some discarded Mind Kitchen logos:
Hell yeah! Right?
