He announced the upcoming project in an Instagram post in November, saying he had been cooking since he was 13, when a friend of his got a George Foreman grill.
“We invited friends over, got high and made the most elaborate sandwiches our prepubescent minds could imagine,” Blanco said. “I know what you’re going to say… cooking is scary. You don’t know where to start. It can be overwhelming.
‘And cooking for a group of people, fuck that… but I’m telling you: once you start it, it will become your new addiction, it’s just like meditating. Cutting an onion is like bringing me a Xanax.”
Gomez responded to the “Finally” post with a raised hands emoji.
