Today’s the day: 2 Chainz has released his new vlog, “Mealtime Cookbook.” As 2 Chainz readily admits, his food porn posts were just too drool-inducing for everyone to resist, and he felt compelled to let us all in on the man behind all those carefully prepared plates: his personal chef. Cooking is just “what I do,” says the tour-bus cook, even if he’s not “the quintessential chef.” Hear all about his philosophy on cooking for a famous rap star in the video above. [via Def Jam]
