Cookie master Rick Martinez has the perfect mix of culinary skill and queer fearlessness.
, one commenter said, “Hoping to one day be half as comfortable in my own skin as Rick is in his. Living his best buttonless life.”
Cooking, for Martinez, is about authenticity as well. Not that his food needs to be true to its source material—he’s aware of his deviations from tradition, especially in the Mexican food champions. Rather, he’s after a more elusive sort of authenticity of perspective. The food he makes for himself and for the camera is unapologetically Rick Martinez—full of complex Mexican American flavor, queer, and, above all else, delicious.
“I did one video for them with the nails and the comments were just horrible,” he tells me. “To their credit, the producers have always said they want me to be me. But I made a decision that if someone is going to dislike the content, I would prefer them to dislike it because of the food and not because of me. And so I took the polish off.”
Martinez refuses to conform to traditional depictions of masculinity and heterosexuality. All audiences are welcome, but in watching his videos, they will need to be willing to appreciate his queer expression as much as they do his food.
