Today’s new video comes from the Rapper Action Bronson and Vice’s “Munchies” series. Titled “Fuck That’s Delicious!“, this is a Vlog that features Action’s culinary taste during his travels. A trained Chef prior to pursuing music, he starts off the video prepping one of his dishes for himself and friends. The video gets more interesting when he takes a trip to “Clive’s Cafe” in Miami Florida and exclaimed his love for Jerk Chicken, Curried Chicken, Oxtails, Patty and Coco Bread and Ting soft drink. He also gave praises to the Restaurant for their culinary skills. Further in the video he and his crew stopped at a BBQ Restaurant in Pennsylvania and expressed how the meal made him break out into the “Butterfly“, which was very popular in Dancehall circles. He also checked out meals in other places throughout his video and gave a tutorial in a couple of his meals. Fans of the rapper and Jamaican cooking will love this one. For those new to the series, Bronson is a character so he gets carried away with his words at times. Check it out below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
