Get ready for a culinary journey like no other! Vinnie Paul's recipes have come to life, and they're here to tantalize your taste buds!
For all the fans of the legendary Vinnie Paul Abbott, a special treat awaits at the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood. This holiday season, you can indulge in three mouth-watering dishes straight from Vinnie's own cookbook. Imagine sinking your teeth into his epic BBQ Sauced Cheese Burger, a Texas-style delight, or savoring the unique flavors of his Lemon Pepper Wings. And let's not forget the Texas Cheese Steak Sammich, a true masterpiece!
Published posthumously, this cookbook is a labor of love and a tribute to Vinnie's culinary skills. It's an exact replication of the recipes he cherished and shared with his loved ones. Now, thanks to the Rainbow Bar & Grill and Z2, his legacy extends beyond music, filling our hearts and stomachs with joy.
But here's where it gets even more exciting! Vinnie's cookbook, "Drumming Up An Appetite With Vinnie Paul," is a celebration of his legendary Sunday Funday dinners. With a foreword by the hilarious Carrot Top, this book is a true epicurean adventure. It's divided into three chapters, each a culinary journey: "Reinventing The Meal" for main courses, "Far Beyond Kitchen" for side dishes, and the sweet finale, "A Vulgar Display Of Flour" for desserts. The cover art, designed by Erik Rodriguez, is a dream come true for Vinnie, capturing his passion and humor.
Vinnie himself described his cookbook as a fun, tongue-in-cheek project, filled with recipes he created and those taught to him by his mom. He believed cooking was an art, a passion, much like playing music. And he was right! His recipes, captured through Justin Borucki's photography and illustrated by Danny Hellman, Steve Chanks, and Rob Schwager, are a testament to his love for food.
Brian "Bridog" Jones, Vinnie's best friend and personal assistant, adds, "Vinnie's BBQ action was extraordinary. His spreads were legendary, whether at his Texas or Vegas homes or on the road, feeding the bands, crew, and even venue personnel. This book is a labor of love, made possible by many, and now Vinnie's recipes are available to the world!"
Vinnie Paul, the beloved drummer known for his rhythmic genius in PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN, and HELLYEAH, had a secret passion - creating incredible culinary experiences! He started writing this cookbook over 15 years ago, and now, thanks to Z2, his recipes are presented with honor, ensuring the cooking hostile tradition lives on.
With the support of his family and estate, Vinnie's spirit and love for cooking continue to thrive. So, get your aprons ready, because Josh Bernstein, president of Z2 and a longtime friend of Vinnie, promises this cookbook will fill your hearts and stomachs for years to come.
"Drumming Up An Appetite With Vinnie Paul" is available in hardcover from Z2 for $29.99 (ISBN: 9798886561234). There's also a deluxe edition featuring exclusive Vinnie Paul merchandise, including an apron, napkin set, and a cooking diploma, available for $79.99. Limited editions of the "Cooking Hostile" apron are also up for grabs!
Vinnie Paul's life was a testament to his passion for music and food. He passed away in 2018 due to dilated cardiomyopathy and severe coronary artery disease. His brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, tragically lost his life in 2004, shot by a schizophrenic individual who believed PANTERA was stealing his thoughts.
Vinnie's legacy lives on, and his estate was distributed to his loved ones, including his girlfriend Chelsey Yeager and best friend Brian Jones. A public memorial was held in Dallas, Texas, to celebrate his life.
Before his passing, Vinnie recorded drum tracks for HELLYEAH's latest album, "Welcome Home," released in 2019. His impact on music and now, through this cookbook, on culinary arts, is truly remarkable.
