In 2012, Chef Rick wrote and starred in a theatre piece in collaboration with Lookingglass Theatre Company. Cascabel incorporated latin dance, a full meal during the show, and a sumptuous love story that excited audiences so much the piece was extended and eventually had another sold-out run in 2014 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
