  • Budcakes

    Abdullah befriends farmers and livestock alike on this episode of Bong Appetit. Come along as he visits Washington’s Vashon Island on a quest to make some seriously dank – and locally sourced – cannabis cupcakes.Abdullah’s tour guide on this pastoral adventure is Jody Hall, owner of famed Seattle bakery Cupcake Royale and a line of edibles, The Goodship Company. Their first stop is Cornerstone Farm & Dairy to collect fresh cream from a local farmer and her four-legged milk factory, Edith, before heading on to Vashon Velvet to choose the choicest Washington cannabis for their cakes. Ingredients in hand, Abdullah and Jody head to the kitchen to bake up a batch of blitzed-out budcakes fit for any celebration. Or Tuesday. Bong appetit!

  • Stoned Shabbat Dinner

    Host Abdullah Saeed, our somewhat perma-saturated host is back in the land of legal weed and at one of his favorite places in the world, Denver, Colorado. In this episode, Abdullah meets up with Rosenberg’s Bagels’ Owner, Josh Pollack to show him how to make traditional Jewish food made with cannabis as part of a multi-course stony and schmaltz-laden Shabbat Dinner. Josh shows us that you can pretty much infuse anything with cannabis, that is, if you’ve got the right buds.  First up, Scandinavian Sambuca cured canna ‘lax (infused Gravlax) on top of some of Rosenberg’s finest bagels. Next, a mellow meal featuring, medicated Matzo ball soup, beef brisket, noodle kugel and roasted vegetables smothered with cannabis schmaltz gravy. May the schmaltz be with you!

  • Colorado Ganja Tour

    Host Abdullah Saeed sets the bar high (think 9,000 feet above sea level) in this installment of Bong Appetit: Colorado Ganja Tours. Abdullah travels to Colorado to see what marijuana tourism is like in a small mountain town, taking tokes while exploring in a tricked-out stretch Escalade with Philip Wolf of Cultivating Spirits. The trip gets off to a blazing start as they visit a craft garden and dispensary (High Country Healing) where tour-goers get up close and personal with the star strain of the day, Casey Jones. Ending the evening on a high note, they savor the fruity, citrusy pot-pairings infused into their gourmet dinners prepared by cannabis chef Jessica Catalano (author of ‘Ganja Kitchen Revolution’).  After a hazy reprieve, Abdullah’s all fired up and joins Chef Jessica at her home for a cannabis cooking lesson featuring her homegrown, organic, dubstep-influenced weed and groundbreaking recipes (think Super Lemon Haze Olive Oil and Baked Eggplant Parmesan) for another night filled with fine herb-laden cuisine. This marks the fanciest edible experience Abdullah’s ever had. It’s OK if you feel the need to cry from weed joy now.

  • Making Mahjoun with Ice-Water Hash

    In this episode of Bong Appetit, host Abdullah Saeed heads to California’s central coast to learn how to make ice-water hash and whips up a batch of cannabis-infused savory-sweet Moroccan mahjoun from a 1,000-year-old Berber recipe. Starting out at the farm of Emerald Alchemy’s Billie Thibodeau, Abdullah goes elbow-deep in icy water to process 12 heady pounds of Granddaddy Purple trim into pure hash.  Then, we’re off to the commercial kitchen of Deborah Schatan (Edible Complex) to make the mahjoun, which is loaded with a menagerie of nuts, fruits, spices—and, of course, hash.

  • Nonna Marijuana Responds to Your Comments

    You may remember 91-year-old weed chef Nonna Marijuana from our premiere episode of Bong Appetit. The ganja-friendly grandma got quite a bit of attention for her cannabis culinary skills, as well as her signature dishes such as Chicken Pot-cciatore. Now you can watch Nonna catch up on your YouTube comments, and even respond to the remarks and questions of a lucky few of you. Hey, just because she’s a nonagenerian doesn’t mean that she’s clueless about the ways of the ‘net.
