Please Don't Embarrass Them Johnny Flay!!!

Apparently, some folks haven't been paying attention to one word I've been saying since I started teaching this class. I see a lot of folks out there that are malnourished, lacking creativity, and of course missing the most essential piece of my recipes...SWAGG! This is evident by your poor mid-term grades and lack of class participation. But it's not my job to lay down the law in class, that's what the school's fashion police is for. My job is to give y'all the tricks of the trade to survive in this dog eat dog world. Now step your game up and pay attention otherwise you'll be escorted out of my class promptly!

The following ingredients are required for the first dish:














1. Becky's Fiesta Stuffed Peppers - To start this dish, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a medium baking dish. This dish must be extremely hot so you have to make sure that you have the baking dish at a high temperature. Before throwing the baking dish in the oven, chop up some of the FAZE Beautiful Silence tee. Next, stuff the Muska High Top by Supra in the Beautiful Silence tee. This dish is starting to look absolutely marvelous! Now, grate some fresh FAZE Fitted over the stuffed Beautiful Silence tee. To finish the preparation of the dish, sprinkle some of the G2 Watch by Flud. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it cook for 45 minutes. The dish is done when it reaches a simmer and is light brown in color. Before serving the dish, make sure you serve it with a pair of grey denim jeans.

The following ingredients are required for the second dish:

















2. Smoked Baby Back Ribs - Make sure you have a fresh slab of the FAZE Young Fire tee in grey to start this dish. Next, marinate the FAZE Young Fire tee in a pan of the Cesario Sneaker by Creative Recreation. Make sure the fresh slab has fully soaked up the marinade. Now, throw in some sliced Casio G-Shock Solar Powered Rescue Watch and the Conductor Web Belt by Vans. This will give it that extra flavor and tenderness. Next, throw it on the grill and allow it to cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. Once it reaches that perfect color and maximum tenderness take it off the grill. This dish is best served with a pair of black cargo pants.

The following ingredients are required for the third dish:














3. Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - To begin, boil some of the FAZE Young Fire tee in white in a medium sized pan. As soon as the FAZE Young Fire tee is soft (not too soft), delicately lay it on a large baking pan. Next, place some sliced, smoked Nike Air Max '97 over the dish. Now, throw in some diced Coal Stanley Beanie and some freshly chopped Flud Exchange Watch. Place the baking pan in the oven and allow it to cook for 15 to 25 minutes. This dish is best served with a side of black denim jeans.

The following ingredients are required for the fourth dish:


















4. Shark Fin Soup - To start, make sure you boil the FAZE Bomb Squad tee in black and teal to a light simmer. The next step is to sprinkle in the Nike Air Max '90. Now, pour in some of the San Jose Sharks Snapback Hat. Lastly, toss in a dash of the Ray Ban 54mm Original Wayfarer and serve it with a warm cup of black denim jeans. This soup smells delicious!

The following ingredients are required for the fifth dish:

















5. After-School Grilled Shrimp Po' Boy Sandwich - Prepare some grilled FAZE Respect tee in grey. Now, spread some of the FAZE Respect tee and the Generic Surplus Borstl Plimsol Wool shoe over a nice loaf. Next, throw some sliced New Era Leather Brododco 5950 Fitted Cap on top. To complete the dish, pour some of the Flud Thn Analog Watch on top of the sandwich. Please serve this dish with a side of flat black jeans.

I hope today's version of Johnny Flay's culinary class has set you down the right path. Ultimately, I want to see increased class participation and improved test scores. The only way for you to accomplish this is to use my swagg recipes to your advantage. As always, if you have any swagg recipes of your own, with FAZE as the staple ingredient, please feel free to submit them. I know your recipes won't rival mine but I'm still curious to see what you guys have learned. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!!

The Agenda Show and Our Boy Mike from Charlie Noble

What's up y'all?

I hope all is well with my FAZE'd out folks. As some of you may know, those FAZE Boyz recently checked out the Agenda Tradeshow in Anaheim, CA a few weeks back. For those that haven't heard of Agenda, you've probably been living in a closet for the past few years. The Agenda Show probably has the most momentum and buzz of all tradeshows today...yes, possibly even more than the MAGIC Show that goes down 2 times a year in Vegas. Agenda features some of today's hottest brands, such as Supra, Creative Recreation, Hundreds, to name a few. It is essentially a place where trends are created. For more info about the show, check out the official website - http://www.agendashow.com. We were also gracious enough to share a video clip of our visit to this past Agenda Show. Check it out!



Also at the Agenda Show, was our good friend Mike of Charlie Noble. Charlie Noble is an up and coming nautical-themed brand out of the Bay Area...Alameda to be exact. But enough of me trying to describe my boy's brand, let him describe it for you in the video below. All I have to say is that it's hot and original. Go cop some of that Charlie Noble at http://charlienobleclothing.com. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!!

A Night In "Day-Go"

What's up folks?

As some of you may know, those FAZE Boyz we're recently in San Diego to take part in the THREAD Tradeshow. We had a fuckin' blast! What's not to love about San Diego or "Day-Go" as some people may call it? The weather, the beaches, the women, the nightlife, are just a few things to love about the city. It also reminds me a little of the SF Bay. This was the first time our brand got the chance to meet the folks of Day-Go but we definitely felt the love and support of the residents (and visitors). Believe me, San Diego will see FAZE again in the near future. For all of our supporters at home that didn't get a chance to make it to the show, this video is for you. Enjoy. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!!

Johnny Flay At His Finest!!!

Good evening class,

We're now entering the Fall season and that means class is back in session. I hope you all enjoyed your Summer break but now it's time to get back to business. Also, I hope you all have been using the swagg recipes that I've been gracious to share with you all during past semesters. There's plenty of folks out there starving for my famous swagg recipes, so I hope you've been kind enough to give back and pay your debt to society. Well, enough of me rambling about the significance of my world-renown dishes, let's kick this class into full gear. I'm not sure if your appetite can withstand the ass-kicking I'm about to lay on it but try to hang in there. I was always told, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

The following ingredients are required for the first dish:





1. The Messenger's Filet Mignon - To begin this dish, you want throw in the FAZE Messenger tee in a hot pan with salt, pepper, basil, and olive oil. Next, chop up some Asics Corrido, throw it in the pan and let it simmer. The dish should have a lovely texture at that point. Now, sprinkle in the Truckstop Beanie by Burton. You're almost done students...hang in there! To complete the culinary masterpiece, pour on some of the Moment Watch by Flud and a pair of dark blue denim jeans. You may ask, "Why do you call it the Messenger's Filet Mignon?" The reason why is that it should be delivered like a message to that whole in your face called a mouth...I thought you knew?!?


The following ingredients are required for the second dish:





2. Pork Chops with Black and White Salsa - Make sure your taste buds are at full attention before starting this dish. To start, put some of the FAZE Respect tee in a pot and add some garden seasoning. The next step is to chop up the Puma Sky High Vulc Sneakers and toss it into the mixture. Next, throw in a dash of the black and white FAZE fitted hat. You're cookin' with the best now! To conclude the dish, sprinkle in the Flud Exchange Watch, a solid black jean, and throw your creation in the oven for a short period of time because it's already hot as is. The main course is now served!


The following ingredients are required for the third dish:





3. The Orange Infused Zebra Cake - Ooh wee! This is one of Johnny Flay's favorite swagg dishes. You know you must be a special class if I decided to share this one with you. First and foremost, before beginning this dish make sure you're mentally prepared. All set? Okay, let's begin. To start this swagg dessert, blend in the FAZE Bombsquad tee until it gets nice and creamy. Now, powder on the Supra Suprano onto the creamy concoction. Next, cut thin slices of the black and orange FAZE fitted hat and throw it into the mix. I guarantee this dessert will be delightful! Lastly, toss in the The Private Watch by Nixon, some khaki cargo pants, and put the dish in the oven for a few minutes. Once you take it out the oven, make sure you let it sit for a few more minutes because it'll definitely be hot!


The following ingredients are required for the fourth dish:





4. The Coast-to-Coast Soufflé - The inspiration for this last dish comes from that coast-to-coast love and my undeniable sweet tooth. Considering that this is the last dish for this evening's class, let's finish this off with a bang. Begin this dish by pureeing the FAZE Bombsquad tee and pouring it into a baking pan. Next, sprinkle in the Nike Dunk High Premium SB. Now, mix in the New York Knicks Team RS 59FIFTY Hat by New Era. The next step is to pour in the Grass Roots Scout Belt by LRG. To conclude this dish, throw in some black denim jeans, place the baking pan in the oven for a few moments and wait until the soufflé becomes fluffy and moist. Enjoy!

Thanks for attending my culinary class today folks. I hope you all are ready to put the necessary work in to excel this semester. As I mentioned before and I'll mention again, if you have any swagg recipes that have FAZE as the staple ingredient, please feel free to submit them. I know they won't be as swaggalicious as mine but hey it's worth a shot right? On that note, class is now dismissed. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!!
