Cool Calm Pete dishes up food fiend's mix for Theme

The latest issue of Theme, the Brooklyn-based Asian arts/culture glossy, is titled "For the Love of Food." It boasts everything from a barbecue feature by chef Edward Lee and an examination into the world of food blogs (written by, uh, me) to not-for-tourists guides to eating in Mexico D.F., Sao Paulo and Ho Chi Minh City.

But please don't overlook this excellent grub-themed mix — a "multi-course menu for hungry music lovers" — from Def Jux artist Cool Calm Pete, who's a certified food fiend in addition to being a rapper.

The single-MP3 mix is free to download on Theme's site.
