Scarlett Kapella, a veteran dancer at Jumbo's Clown Room, reflects on her past at the notorious Candy Cat strip club, where a surreal hot dog incident catalyzed her reevaluation of priorities. Inspired to fuse her nightlife with gastronomy, she’s publishing her first cookbook, "Wine Me, Dine Me, 69 Me." This flirtatious collection serves as a blend of recipes and art, featuring contributions from fellow dancers and aiming to elevate both cooking and sexuality into a charming, irreverent experience.
The hot dog incident was a low point in her career. Still, it serves as a charming origin story of the stripper turned chef and now cookbook author.
From that moment, I felt I had to reevaluate my life, and I vowed to combine stripping and food in only the sexiest, most elevated way possible.
For years, Kapella's ongoing photography project documenting sex workers' lives called 'B-! You Strippin'' organically led to her shooting with food as a prop.
Kapella isn't just creating recipes; she's crafting an experience that blends sensuality and culinary delight, offering a fresh perspective on both sex work and cooking.
