“I’ve done block parties, I’ve had my own radio show, I’ve done different things and I wear different belts, but I’m primarily an artist first and then a promoter.” Putting the final flourishes to his Brussels sprouts, asparagus and flank steak creation, accompanied by a simple salad of spring greens and baby carrots and adorned with a smattering of perfumed raspberries, the self-anointed “stir-fry technician” reflects on his artistic vision. “I’m inspired by friends of mine who have really turned their lives around by eating clean.” “I just wanted something really clean…plus it’s hot and when it’s hot, you don’t want to invest a lot of time in cooking,” Blee says.

The chef delights in the fragrance emanating from his cooking vessel and bops his head up and down in time with the hip-hop track bumping in the background, as if in approval of his edible creation. Local Rapper Blee Gets Cooking in the Studio and in the KitchenĪ peppery waft of aromatics seduces the palate as a mélange of vegetables is introduced with a hiss to a searingly hot, well-seasoned stir fry pan.
