Beanie Sigel revealed how he honed in on his culinary skills while he served time in prison.
During a recent interview with Mina Say What, the State Property rapper opened up about his experiences with being locked up during his childhood and shared his thoughts about the lack of rehabilitation for those in the probation system. Toward the end of their conversation, Beans also spoke about his new business venture ‘Grab & Roll, Wings & Bowls’ and said he can make every item on the menu. He said he acquired his cooking skills when he was behind bars.
“When I went away, one of my stints, I ain’t sit on my hands. I had to do my bid and I took up culinary,” he explained. “I just wanted the certifications and it helped me eat better. I ain’t cook for the prisoners. I cooked for the guards. They eat different!”
Beanie Sigel launched his food truck last March. The mobile restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m. and is based in his hometown at 2400 Passyunk Ave. The menu is full of selections inspired by his popular lyrics including the “Bully Burger” and other local favorites like Philly cheesesteaks, chicken wings, fried seafood and more.
In addition to the food and entertainment industries, Beanie Sigel has also gotten involved with the world of politics. Last year, Sigel and multihyphenate Wayne “Wayno” Clark teamed up with Mobilize Justice and the AAPI Victory Fund to help spread the word about voting during the 2024 Elections.
“The goal was actually to educate the people,” Sigel says. “Your voice does matter. We’re giving out information on how they should vote and why they should vote. Even with this election right here, just to let them know it’s more than just voting for two people. They look at the presidency, but there are other votes and issues that directly impact your community.”
