Baked! is the memoir of a struggling comedian/actor whose successful, albeit illegal, day job of selling pot cookies in early 2000s New York City takes over his life. It all started when author John Flynn needed to raise $2,000 for a show he co-created at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre called Showgirls! The Best Movie Ever Made! Ever! In one night, he sold enough cookies at the UCB’s Christmas party to cover all the show's expenses. Turns out selling drugs is as easy as selling drugs! For the next three and a half years he became “the cookie guy” to his friends, acquaintances, and growing list of customers.As word of mouth grew, he met an incredible array of people from every walk of life and economic standing. Doctors, therapists, pole dancers, dog walkers, chefs, accountants, Wall Street brokers, vegans, cast members from Blue Man Group, and chorus boys all like to eat weed!But while his business was taking off, everything else, from his career to his love life, suffered. Eventually John must choose between the successful business he worked hard to create or a more socially acceptable life. Also included: a recipe for how to make pot cookies yourself. It’s full of helpful hints, like which kitchen items to invest in, what to do about the smell, and how to avoid costly mistakes while baking!
