Biz doing his thang... :lol:

While you may think meat and potatoes got what you need, in the end they're just comestible friends. Fall in love with cuisine that's more your type (ie, healthy without sacrificing flavor) with the help of hip hop laureate Biz Markie. With today's offer from LivingSocial's 918 F Street, pay $79 for admission to a hands-on cooking class with the inimitable lyricist and lean food enthusiast. Biz Markie -- who competed on the first season of Celebrity Fit Club -- will instruct the class on how to prepare three of his favorite dishes: chicken satay in peanut sauce, shrimp and vegetable stir fry, and sugar-free cupcakes. For a VIP experience, guests who pay $99 can join Biz Markie at the Chef's Corner and score an autographed T-shirt. Oh snap (peas)!

Who wouldn't want to learn to cook chicken satay and sugar-free cupcakes with Biz Markie? That question we can't answer. We can say that as of Wednesday afternoon, LivingSocial's website indicated that 62 of the deals had been purchased.

And lest you think that Biz Markie is a carpetbagger in the healthy-cooking department, Amazon reviews from someone going by the name "Biz Markie" suggest otherwise.

He gave a sugar-free desserts cookbook one star, writing that it is a "HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! There were many errors and inconsistencies in the recipes, but most of all - NOTHING we made was worth the cost of the ingredients. And no, we're not kitchen or baking novices. We know what we're doing."

Biz Markie was more positive about another purchase, giving five stars for a professional KitchenAid stand mixer that he said in his review he uses "primarily for mixing yeast bread dough" two or three times per week.
