Ad-Rock Showed Up On "Top Chef: Just Desserts," Shit Got Weird

More photos from Ad-Rock's MoMA DJ set over here. Coincidentally, we'll be DJing on the same stage next Thursday.

There's a great deal that can be said about the salient interplay between cooking and music... that I'm not going to really get into right now. Suffice to say, a lot of our favorite musicians are really big fans of great restaurants and chefs, so it's not TOO big of a stretch to learn that the King Ad-Rock of the legendary hip-hop group the Beastie Boys showed up on one of the many cooking shows on TV right now, Bravo's Top Chef: Just Desserts.

Here's where it does get weird: he pops on to introduce a pastry challenge involving food referenced in Beastie Boys songs... like bacon (cool), macaroni and cheese (okay), canned ravioli (...), and pork 'n beans (uh). Totally odd and definitely worth watching for Ad-Rock's final "Good luck with THAT one" at the end.

Check it out after the jump, and please pass me the Riunite on ice. (Thanks to Stereogum for the heads up)
