She must've thought she was at a burger eating contest.

Someone told her there was a hidden stick of butter in the bun.

She can always pull that hidden stick out of her bum.

No more than her jamming a cheeseburger in the other end.

Nobu Matsuhisa, Renowned Chef, To Headline A Crystal Cruise

01/26/2012 1:21 pm

Known for his high-end fusion cuisine, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa is now branching out to the high seas. The Japanese chef will be headlining a May sailing of the Crystal Serenity.

Onboard, Matsuhisa will serve as Executive Chef in Silk Road and the Sushi Bar, his restaurant with the cruise line, according to a company press release. He will also host cooking classes, cooking demonstrations, sign cookbooks and take pictures with guests.

Matsuhisa is the chef behind the Nobu and Matsuhisa restaurants, which can be found around the globe in locations like Aspen, the Bahamas, New York, Las Vegas and Mykonos. His Japanese-Peruvian fusions have been available onboard the Symphony and Serenity for a few years.

And, yes, his famous black cod with miso is on the menu (PDF).

The 12-day western European cruise will depart from Dover, England on May 24. Ports of call include Lisbon, Monte Carlo, Gibraltar, Florence and Rome. Cabins start at $3,955 per person.

Mmmmm. Grub.

Grilled chicken with wasabi sounds interesting.

It was quite tasty: the flavor of the wasabi, but not the heat.

Unfortunate that the service was wretched... My brother said it was because we weren't nihon-jin...

At least the food was memorable in a good way. Bad service does sour things a bit though.

Yup, you sorta forget how tasty the food was, since you're so upset with the service.

I usually feel better after I harpoon a server's eyeball with a chopstick though.
