Exclusive: Watch ‘Patti Pie’ Viral Star Cook With Patti LaBelle
After his tuneful review of her sweet potato pie made him a viral star, Patti LaBelle invites James Wright into her kitchen in this exclusive clip from her upcoming TV special.
The “Patti Pie” pandemonium is charging through the holidays with all the gusto of a Patti LaBelle whistle note.
Ever since James Wright, clad in a bedazzled baseball cap, transformed into a viral video star thanks to his enthusiastic review of Ms. LaBelle’s sweet potato pie—a slice literally moved him to song—his YouTube review has garnered over 4 million views and the iconic singer’s branded Patti LaBelle Sweet Potato Pie began selling out at Wal-Mart.
(Watch The Daily Beast’s own Goldie Taylor offer her own review of the scrumptious dessert.)
Now LaBelle is inviting Wright into the kitchen to share recipes, stories, songs, pies, and pies that inspire songs.
Check out an exclusive clip of their fun here, and tune-in to Patti’s Holiday Pies when it premieres on the Cooking Channel Wednesday, December 16 at 8:30 pm ET/5:30 pm PT.
