Cooking with Drag Queens - Cynthia Lee Fontaine - Pastelón

Save the series, support Cooking with Drag Queens: cookingwithdrag...
WEPA! One of my all time favorite Puerto Rican dishes to make is pastelon, a casserole version of the Puerto Rican pastel that we love to eat during holidays.
Many people call pastelon a Puerto Rican lasagna, but our version is more like a shepherd's pie, made with plantains, stewed meat, spinach and topped off with mashed yuca.
Joining us is the adorably kooky girl who loves to shake her cucu, Miss Congeniality from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8, Cynthia Lee Fontaine. Bienvenida!

No Kidding! When we see the few & far between who are like this we have to show them love & support. Such a beautiful person deserves nothing but love back.

[@LaChicaTieneTumbao]

UGH! I am in LOVE w/ Cynthia! What a beautiful heart & soul. Sounds weird but I want her as my friend! 😩 I know she has her own channel but people deserve to see this side, behind the drag, real talk. Perfecta, 'cita 👌🏽

Loving Fausto's espanol! Fell when buff daddy said "mi cochina". Remembering my childhood when my mother would call me cochina. Usually after I would say something like "besa mi culo".

Pastelon....Now, that dish brings up good memories from my childhood. That and guanimes con bacalao guisado.

[@edu34rod]

This is one of the best love this series!

[@Chickengirl005]

Cynthia was great, and the show was great, probably one of the best in the 2nd season. The only critiques I have is that there were moments where Marc just stood there silently, watching Fasuto and/or Cynthia work with the ingredients, not really adding anything to the conversation or doing anything to help make the dish...it got a little awkward at times.. it be great if you guys had a larger counter to work on, and could find away so that everyone is talking and or working on the dish at the same time. A good example of a trio cooking show is SORTEDfood on KZbin, if you go back and look at their older videos where it's these 3 guys working on a dish together, they pull it off pretty well and even if there aren't a lot of ingredients to the dish, all three guys manage to work on one component throughout the whole cooking process. I get you guys wanna give stuff for the Drag Queen to work on, but having Marc just do nothing isn't super-fun to watch either. Also, you guys say on the show you practice making the dish more than once, but here Marc and Fausto would still leave the counter to go grab something in the kitchen. It just kinda breaks up the flow of things. That's all I have to say! I was able to make a pledge this time for season 3!

[@Prince_Spoopy]

Cynthia is so cute! She reminds me of family

[@flyporter20]

you guys crack me up! Love this episode and now Im soooo hungry!

[@0whateverlike0]

[@mohammadkhan985]

She's sweet but if I hear cucu one more time I'M CALLING THE POLICE!

[@erikadowdy686]

Ya KZbin has been demonetizing some of my favorite channels! Ridiculous! If u dont have MILLIONS of views and subs then they arent paying. Probably cuz everyone and their mothers, brothers, sisters uncles has a channel now!

[@feastoffun]

ERIKA DOWDY I don’t know why, but all the ads are gone girl :(

[@feastoffun]

ERIKA DOWDY here’s our Kickstarter for Season 3: cookingwithdragqueens.com

[@Suki-Tawdry]

Love CLF! She’s sooo precious! ❤️

[@mclovin6039]

Someone's mentioned lasagna in the comments and now all I can think about is Laganga Lasagna 😂😂 Been watching a few of these videos and some of the drag Queens seem, shall we say flat, but Miss Cucu looks and sounds like she's having tons of fun.

[@mar1468]

I love Cynthia’s energy. I feel like she is the person you would just love to be around. ❤️🇵🇷

[@lucianaborinato2993]

I love her, she's so adorable, humble, and always gracious! 💜💜💜

[@sheisveryfamous]

Lasanga!? Woops 😂😂😂

[@feastoffun]

jacklucien its what other people call the dish, although I prefer to think of this as a Caribbean shepherd’s pie.

[@Marie-wp9yd]

My fave ❤️

[@AlbAlPasa]

This guy insists on talking Spanish in this show whenever he feels like it without adding subtitles or explaining what he just said etc. for people who doesn't speak Spanish. Is this show an inside joke or for general audience?

[@mariamdream]

I LOVE Cynthia !!!!!
