For those of you who don't know, Iron Chef Sakai is going to visit the Stella Restaurant in New Orleans soon. Mickster sent the good folks at Stella an email, and wanted to share it with everyone here. As her email provider has some trouble with copying and pasting images to Kitchen Stadium, I posted the entire email below for all of you to see. Enjoy!
Mickey,
Thank you for your kind email. I like your site, and it is one I have not seen before in connection with the Iron Chefs.
We are indeed very excited about next week. The response from the public has been overwhelming, and I have come to realize that Chef Sakai is almost like a "Rock Star" with the amount of people who absolutely adore and respect him. We had planned the dinners last year before the Hurricane, and with the damage and ensuing renovations, it is perfect timing for our re-opening of our restaurant. Iron Chef Sakai has been most gracious and kind, calling our Chef during the storm to make sure he was safe and assuring us that he most definitely still intended to do the dinner, now more than ever.
We will definitely have plenty of photos and perhaps movies from the dinners. It will be three nights - and should be covered by many different press outfits. CNN for one will be here filming parts of preparation and the dinner too.
Be sure to check out the other photos on our website - from Chef Boswell's trips to Japan - working in Chef Sakai's kitchen as well as Iron Chef Chen Kenichi's kitchen as well. There are also pictures from the dinner we did last year with Iron Chef Italian, Masa Kobe who is a close friend of Chef Boswell's.
We hope to continue our tradition of Iron Chef dinners in the future.
Thanks again,
Christine Brannon
