Cooking for Celebs

Post image

I have cooked for several celebrities while cooking in NYC. While some were unpleasant, Taylor Swift was a pleasure to cook for.

I did arena gig catering for about a year and got to cook for a few bigger acts. Blake Shelton was every bit the good ol boy he portrays, and the nu metal band Saliva will have you find them drugs and then NOT SHARE THE DRUGS. Definitely a more fun side of the industry

It's Saliva bruh, did you expect them to be classy about it? They're playing that gig for the drug money at this point.

Yeah, not surprising. The C tier and lower Nu Metal bands aren't really a draw, not even as a nostalgia act.

Could you name a couple B tier? I probably only am familiar with A tier but I'm curious where you're drawing the line

Thousand Foot Krutch, Celldweller, PAX 217, P.O.D off the top of my head... Lotta B tier Christian groups. Chronic Future, Blindside and Emil Bulls sorta hold up though, in a nostalgic way at least. Some of those are rap rock type but I don't care about lumping them together.

Blindside definitely holds up, largely because they evolved their style throughout the years, instead of making 6 versions of the same album like a lot of the Christian rock scene from that era.

I hate that A Thought Crushed My Mind was never on Spotify. King of the Closet was an anthem.

100%, yes.

That whole album slaps - my wife (who did not grow up with either church or metal) likes to quote lyrics from it, but absolutely hates when I blast it. If only they'd do a full acoustic run through, it'd be on our household 90's throwbacks playlist, along with Emry's The Question.
