I am ready to speak of another secret project. Today in the New York Times (dining section) there is a three page feature (complete with interactive map) by Melena Ryzik on the Bronx’s very own Baron Ambrosia. The Baron Ambrosia is a guerrilla film maker, performance artist and self-professed “quaffer of culinary consciousness.” This is a must read for anyone interested in the most cutting edge, most contemporaneous and most dangerous performance and media culture the city has to offer.

Baron (aka Justin Fornal) writes, directs and stars in the Bronx food show Bronx Flavor. Check out the Roti Express episode to see some amazing Trinidadian food inspired dancing. Baron came to guest teach in my class this spring. That was a blast. You will certainly hear more about Baronism in the future. Enjoy
