Here’s What It Looks Like When Eric Wareheim Makes a Cookbook Trailer

Brooks Headley, the vegan hamburger innovator and pastry chef at Del Posto, has just put out Brooks Headley’s Fancy Desserts, which is one part unconventional memoir to two parts nontraditional cookbook, and now food show dabbler Eric Wareheim has come up with a cake-filled and thoroughly derailed companion video for the thing. It stars onetime “Sassiest Boy in America” Ian Svenonius as the host of a late-late-night program with a super-low production quality, the kind you were never sure whether you hallucinated or not the next morning. There’s also a man pummeling flour and Jell-O with a rolling pin, and Headley himself, of course, on the drums. It’s like a crazy gastrique of punk, gluten, and 1990s-era public-access-style TV.
