“All I believe in is food and myself”
“Fuck, That’s Delicious” is a perfect conglomeration of everything that defines Action Bronson-- food, hip-hop, and his true affinity for giving zero fucks.
The monthly web series follows Bronson everywhere whether on tour, recording new tracks, or celebrating life with old friends and new strangers. Before becoming your favorite rapper, Action Bronson was repping Queens as a top chef. Now with “Fuck, That’s Delicious,” we watch as Bam Bam takes us to his some of his favorite and trusted food spots, dissecting and creating exquisite culinary masterpieces with the best in the game, combining the worlds of food and hip-hop.
However it’s Bronson’s philosophy of living life to it’s absolute fullest that makes the show so enjoyable to watch. Whether befriending the locals, introducing us to his crazy sidekicks (Big Body Bes) and friends, we get to see everything Action boasts about in his raps.
Chicken Break
This is why seeing Action Bronson live is marking a check off your bucket list-- you never know what will happen. He’s been famous for throwing both kids and obscene amounts of weed off stage, or taking the whole audience on a quick run outside.
In this moment on stage, while playing a packed crowd in London, Bronson finds himself hungry with a hankering for chicken. He then decides to take a quick break, leaving the venue shirtless and sweaty on his quest for a snack. With no money and one security guard holding his mike, Bam Bam wanders the streets asking locals for extra pounds. With no luck (and still no money), after finally finding a chicken spot near the venue, the owner refuses to cut him a break and leaves him chickenless before returning on stage. Lucky for us though, Action teaches us how to make his famous fried chicken anyway.
“White Trash Bruschetta and Henny Wings”
Guy Bronson
For many reasons this episode is my favorite, but what makes it even more incredible is Bronson’s impersonation of Food Network’, Guy Fieri. If you don’t know who that is, you’ll need to Google him to fully appreciate the introduction of this episode.
In theme with Fieri’s own show, "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," Action takes us all the way to Brooklyn to learn the secret to his Aunt’s famous baklava, only to turn it into the most delicious milkshake at Milk Bar in Williamsburg.
Next we travel through none other than Queens visiting Dani’s House of Pizza, and picking up ingredients for the one and only “ninja turtle cheeseburger,” a concoction of White Castle cheeseburgers and Korean fried chicken.

Chicago's Weiner Circle with Riff Raff
Chicago’s Weiner Circle is well-known for their spirited staff and customer service, but once we see Riff Raff show up, we know it’s going to be an entertaining night. Frankly, their staff members, like service leader "Poochie," have enough bars to win a rap battle-- "I seen that ugly-ass blue jean suit you wore on the VMAs."
While Bronson was able blend in the background a bit, the Neon Icon aka Riff Raff, caught the majority of the heat (and love), from the entire staff. We also catch some of the hilarious interactions between customers and staff.
Outside of this Midwest establishment, cameras also take us on a Euro tour of Copenhagen and Venice, where Bronson finds delectable pasta, barbeque, and of course that 24 hour halal.
“The Talented Mr.Wonderful”
Culinary THC
In episode seven, we’re out with here with Bam Bam as he’s celebrating his birthday, exploring all crevices of Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn accompanied by none other than Big Body Bes and Charlie the Cab Driver.
While this episode is outrageous, you’ll also want to have a notepad on deck (as I did) as Action introduces some of NYC’s best eateries. First off, we meet his cab driver Charlie who could easily have his own documentary, as he shares the most crude, ridiculous stories you'll hear from any cabbie, let alone New Yorker. From homemade ice cream and pizza, to Chinese Halal and the famous Chimi truck, Bronson never lets us down. However, it's when he visits Best Pizza in Williamsburg that he creates a true work of art, finishing off his pizza with some fresh ganja grated on top. As always we are grateful for the creativity and appreciation for all ingredients. Also be sure to catch some dude off the street lose his money to Bronson on a dunking contest!

“Mr.Wonderful Inspired Cuisine”
Mr. Wonderful Inspired Cuisine
Two great people and chefs joined side by side-- Action and Mario Batali.This episode is one of few where viewers watch Bronson create dishes inspired by his latest album, Mr.Wonderful. After bringing some old school walkmans, Bronson gives his culinary idol a listen to “Easy Rider,” brainstorming how to make the ultimate Bronson Batali pizza dish.
You’ll learn some history on the perfect Italian meats, cheeses, and the key to an amazing brick oven pizza and fried quail. With a close look at NYC’s delicious EATALY, the two talk life, family, and their shared love for all things food.
