‘Miami is such a special place’: See Brooklyn Beckham cook Cuban tacos on his new show
Remember Brooklyn Beckham’s highly entertaining cooking videos during lockdown?
David Beckham’s oldest kid is turning his love of the culinary arts into a fun, online tutorial: The foodie has a new Messenger show, “Cookin’ With Brooklyn,” an eight-episode series following the lad’s journey to becoming a chef.
The second episode, called “Big Trouble In Little Havana,” is shot in his adopted home of Miami and features local singer Sebastian Yatra as guest (and guinea pig).
But first a stop at local staple Tinta y Cafe in Miami Shores to watch Chef Andres Vega whip up a perfect Cuban camaron enchilado with homemade sofrito.
Brooklyn, 22, then takes a stab himself, whipping up Cuban-inspired tacos at Yatra’s home. Though the end result looked amazing, it seems Beckham put a bit too much hot sauce on, leaving both men in tears, chugging milk.
“I love to add a bunch of hot sauce,” laughed the Brit. “I’m not a wuss.”
Though Yatra looked in pain and even had to suck on an ice cube, the South Florida native was a good sport. In the comments section under the video on BB’s Instagram Yatra wrote, “That was so fun, dude. I can’t wait for round two.”
New episodes air every Wednesday until Feb. 2 and we are hoping he’ll hit up more local spots.
“Miami is such a special place,” he says in the opener. “The most amazing beaches, restaurants and food.”
Beckham also has other bonds to the Magic City: His fiancée Nicola Peltz’s family lives in Palm Beach and of course dear old dad’s Inter Miami FC football team is here.
We’re also happy to see him branching out from traditional English meals. Back in October, on a “Today” cooking segment, Beckham made a breakfast sandwich that was a spinoff of an Egg McMuffin.
The episode got raked over the coals, with fellow countryman, meanie Piers Morgan, leading the charge: “Worst, most unutterably pointless segment in morning television history?” he tweeted.
