Feed Art, Not War

Dear Comrade,

I am writing you because you are someone who cares about food, family, and community. As 2007 ends, and we approach the Presidential election, it is important that we bring these issues to the forefront because diabetes is on the rise, the farm bill is still in limbo, and the price of organic food is more than a Big Mac and supersized fries.

We, here, at the Cooking Show con Karimi y Castro, offer you a proposition:

Join us in our quest to bring the revolution to one kitchen at a time. Where everyone learns to eat with their families, communities, learning revolutionary recipes in order to cook as a community and dialogue about the issues important to our stomachs and hearts.

We have traveled over tens of thousands of miles this past year — from Cedar Rapids, Iowa where we cooked an alternative super bowl meal to Alaska where we served Lumpia in celebration of Filipino and Latino farmworkers, getting audiences from Minneapolis to Off-Broadway to Houston to open their hearts to diversity of the palette and their community. We call it spreading tasty consciousness.

Next year, we have been invited to Singapore, the SF Bay Area, Minneapolis, Houston, Philadelphia, and back to New York. Over 15 shows are scheduled next year! More shows keep being added because the people are hungry.

However, it is difficult to cook for hundreds and thousands of people without the necessary funds to support our team.

How can you help? Support kaotic good productions, the producer of the Cooking Show, with a tax deductible donation to support the administrative costs, general operations, and educational initiatives for the show. And, keep money from funding a war that keeps more people from eating as a family and causes societal indigestion.

Your donation of $25 (or how ever much you want) will feed art, not war. You will feel safe that your money is going to help kaotic good productions raise the $10,000 we need to match the donations from our sponsors. (Remember, this year we were sponsored by Whole Foods, Wedge Co-op, H.E.B., and others.)

And for those of you that can give $1500 or more, we will place you in our Circle of Progressive Power because it is you that gives the capitalistic power that we need to keep our tasty progressive culinary consciousness going.

You can donate by a check payable to Asian Arts Initiative, our fiscal sponsor. (Don’t forget to put kaotic good! in the memo of the check) Please send it to
kaotic good productions
p.o. box 1292
Newark, CA 94560.


You can also donate electronically at the kaotic good site at merococinero.com.

Time is running out if you want your tax deductible donation to count for your 2007 taxes.

Thank you for your time and your support.


Pass the peace,
Mero Cocinero Karimi

baked lays have chicken fat.


oh the horror!

we discovered here at the Cooking Show Labs a horrible discovery. If you look carefully, you will see that Baked Lays, the healthy ones ,have Chicken Fat! Why?

This is part of a conspiracy to get our vegetarian brothers and sisters to eat meat. The corporations, acting like Big Brother, attempt to sneak meat into their products. Why can't corporations let the people be who they are? We must be vigilant when it comes to our palate. What will they do next, put pork intestines in the granola? Chicharrones and granola must believe in separatism for all that is good and hallal (or kosher).

Thank you to Houston!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU HOUSTON! Thank you TBH!!

My comrades in houston were amazing. We had great people at the shows. People hungry for revolution, good food, and liberation from the oppression of white onions. And the power of the people was so delicious, I may have to come back again!!

I have to thank my brothers and sisters at TBH (talento bilingüe de houston) for being great hosts, especially technical director Jaime and artistic director Jorge Piña.

I learned so much from the community. I learned about the power of a guacamole taco from my sister Linda (Mera Abuelita!), and the power of a Midnite Taco from Sister Profesora Ventura.

I was told that if I made an entire vegetarian meal in Houston, no one would eat it, but they, whoever they are, were wrong. The people ate and they really drank all the ponche and the chocolate!

The recipes for the show will be up soon.

I would have had them on the site yesterday, but global warming was affecting the weather pattern, and many people could not fly yesterday.

Happy KrisKwanzakah and pass the peace,

Mero Cocinero Karimi
