Bong Appetit's Pinsky Is Crowned Mainstream Marijuana King
- With the Cannabis World Congress in town, a party buzz unfolds
- Spotted: Sour Diesel and edibles experts, High Times editor
On the rooftop deck of the Delancey Thursday evening, guests traded vape pens and Napa-worthy tasting notes while others lit up joints on the sidewalk, respecting the Lower East Side club’s no-smoking policy.
These were no average pot smokers. On the sidewalk, Jason Pinsky, the cannabis producer for the Viceland show "Bong Appetit," and partner in Fette Sau, a barbecue restaurant in Williamsburg, was soon to be crowned the King of Mainstream Marijuana. There, too, was his crowner, Chloe Villano, the founder of the Cannabis Business Awards; Adam Dunn, an expert on the Sour Diesel strain and instructor at Clover Leaf University; and Danny Danko, an editor and writer at High Times magazine.
