Warning: Above video contains some strong language.
Even with the subdued machismo of Emerill's BANG!, Bourdain's wild child, and Ramsay's ever-flowing f-bombs, most cooking shows are beasts of the same feather. Whether soft and pensive or bright and cheery, they cast a narrow sheen on the world of food. And those that don't, like the men listed above, are chefs. It's their job and passion.
But what about the everyman? For me, nothing quite beats Robert Rodriguez's 10-Minute Cooking Schools. If you're a fan of his films, you've surely noticed the cooking segments attached to his DVD releases. If not, check out the clip above, for Sin City Breakfast Tacos. They're easy and incredibly tasty. More importantly -- they showcase what the food world needs more of -- natural shots of men cooking. These aren't guys getting paid to cook, but men who like food and realize the importance of fresh ingredients and the worth of an extra few minutes in the kitchen.
Rodriguez sums it up perfectly: Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to f**k.
I'm not talking about the best restaurants in Las Vegas, I mean the cooking of Sin City director Robert Rodriguez.
