CYBERSPACE — ManyVids has launched a new interview series on their official blog titled MV Talent Show that spotlights "skills, passions and talents performers possess outside of the adult industry."
The inaugural profile is focused on performer, clips star and professionally trained chef Jay Austin.
Austin recalls he “accidentally” fell into culinary training after graduating from high school. “My older brother Trevor was moving to Chicago to study music production, so I obviously needed to find a school there, too, because we were inseparable, I Googled ‘Chicago College’ and Le Cordon Bleu was the first result. I thought to myself, ‘Cooking seems like a good skill set to have.’ And here we are.”
His training has taken Austin “all over the world, from Austin to Antarctica,” he said. “My experiences have made me an incredibly resourceful chef, and my specialty is making a delicious meal with whatever happens to be available. While most chefs seek out the best or rarest ingredients, I try to cook like a real person, using what is readily available and isn't going to break the bank and is going to be healthy for me to eat.”
Cooking, he notes, is “sexy, like self-care is sexy. Everyone has to eat, and being confident and independent in the kitchen is a major turn-on to me. I tend not to get along with the kind of folks that say, ‘I can't even boil water,’ because I can't believe that you haven't bothered to learn how to feed yourself when you have to eat three times a day!”
For the moment, choosing between his twin passions is a daily negotiation. “It’s a problem I face every day," Austin said. "Cooking is my passion, and I think my calling in life is to make cooking and eating sustainably cool, but adult content pays the bills! It's funny; I can't give my cooking videos away for free on YouTube, but I make a slutty hookup video and rake the money in.”
