FOOD FLICKS: R.I.P. Chef Pavarotti

In the wake of the death of Luciano Pavarotti, Super Chef searched high and low for Pavarotti footage for today's Food Flick.

We found a wedding stage featuring impersonations by Miss Piggy and Pavarotti. No footage about Pavarotti himself eating or drinking -- though at least one interesting article "Cooking with Pavarotti."

"Pavarotti!"

Here is a humble, silly kitchen ditty, however, which shows just how far el Maestro had penetrated into the Lower Depths -- even kitchens. Enjoy!
