Action Bronson and The Alchemist Profess Their Love for Hawaiian Poke

Queens-bred rapper/chef Action Bronson hits the rooftops of New York City to prepare poke two ways in the latest episode of Fuck, That’s Delicious.

Bam Bam says he’s “feeling very Jamie Oliver” as he tosses half-inch cubes of big eye tuna with Vidalia onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, purple scallions, togarashi, and the works. “I’ve been dreaming about poke since the Hawaii trip, man,” says Bronsolini, referring to last winter when he cooked for the surfers at the Pipeline Masters competition.

While in Oahu, Bronson hit up Kahuku Superrette with producer The Alchemist, who explains, “I travel the earth for the best poke—I scour. This might be it right here.” “This is much better than any bodega i’ve been in,” notes Bronson.
