We pointed earlier out that gay porn star Brandon Lee, known as “the first famous Asian top,” had taken up catering in San Francisco after moving up here from L.A. Well now SF Weekly does a complete profile of Chef Lee, confirming that he is still making films but that he’s “making more dough sautéing than he ever did screwing,” and debunking a rumor that he was discovered by a porn star while delivering Chinese food. It turns out Lee graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in 2003, and went from sweating it in the kitchens of Princess Cruises to becoming the executive chef a chef at Ortolan in L.A. [Ed. Note: Don’t make us do your fact-checking SF Weekly!] These days, pending some more permanent gig, Lee is booked solid for parties by an all-gay clientele who clearly are getting a rise (ahem) out of announcing their porn star caterer on Facebook invites.
