MTV Tr3s Spices Up Original Online Programming

MTV Tr3s is adding more spice to its original online programming, with an unconventional Latino grill master and a giant Mexican hamster headlining its summer digital slate.

Tr3s: MTV Musica y Mas, MTV’s bilingual and bicultural network for Latinos, announced two original web series debuting this summer.

Grillin’ With Rico, which premiered Independence Day weekend, features unorthodox foodie and Mexican-American grill master Rico Chips—who hosts the show from a wheelchair after having survived 5 gunshot wounds. Described as a “chef who whips up ‘sabroso’ family recipes by adding a pinch of passion, and an ounce of street knowledge to create his own style of grillin’,” Chips shares delicacies including the Los Angeles-style bacon wrapped hot dogs

with grilled peppers and onions, and rectangular hamburgers that fit into hot dog buns.
