E-40: From Hip-Hop Artist to Food Tycoon

On this episode of The Meals That Made Me, Adam chats with his friend and the King of Slang, E-40, a.k.a. 40 Water, a.k.a. 40 Fonzarelli, a.k.a. Mr. Earl Stevens — a multi-platinum hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, chef, author, and the owner of the gourmet food brand, Goon With the Spoon. E-40 talks to Adam about why he thinks he has the best taste buds in the world, and the hip-hop legends he believes can throw down in the kitchen - including Snoop Dogg and Warren G. From his family’s Southern roots eating foods like fried chicken feet and chitlins, to his passion for the Filipino flavors of his childhood growing up in the Bay Area, to his legendary meatloaf recipe that he says “goes crazy,” these are the meals that made E-40.
