Isaac Hayes as a cartoon chef broke real musicians — and they thanked him for it.
The fascinating life of South Park's musical cafeteria employee, Jerome "Chef" McElroy, is examined in this exclusive behind-the-scenes special. Chef's influence on a generation of musicians and rock stars is revealed through candid interviews with Elton John, Flea, Ike Turner, Meatloaf, Ozzy Osborne and many others. This one-off mockumentary is produced in the style of VH1's Behind the Music.
