Celebrity
Cruises has
provided the unique setting for an episode of Bravo’s TV show Top
Chef culinary
competition series, now in its 10th season.
Wednesday’s
episode (January 30), airing at 10 pm Eastern/9 pm Central, was
filmed onboard the 2,158-guest Celebrity
Millennium and
the 2,170-guest Celebrity
Infinity while
sailing in Alaska.
During
the episode, chef’testants were challenged to navigate the
intricacies of Celebrity’s trendsetting, top-quality culinary
operation – with multiple galleys and diverse dining options –
and prepare dishes served to guests onboard. Three Top
Chefjudges
also were onboard to join in the action and assess the chef’testants’
results.
This
week, Celebrity is taking its own cuisine to the heart of Manhattan
with “A Taste of Modern Luxury,” an exclusive pop-up restaurant
at The Kitchen NYC. Celebrity’s own James Beard-featured chef, John
Suley, will serve items from a three-course menu that includes
several onboard favorites as well as dishes inspired by the culinary
flavors of Manhattan. Divinely concocted libations from Master
Mixologist Junior Merino, aka “The Liquid Chef,” will be served
from his concept, The Molecular Bar, featured onboard. Thoughtfully
paired beverages — from superior wines to local brews – and
artful desserts round out the dining experience.
Tickets
to all other lunches and dinners at Celebrity’s Manhattan pop-up
restaurant are available
atwww.celebritycruisespopupnyc.eventbrite.com.
Proceeds from ticket
sales go
to the Celebrity CruisesScholarship at The Culinary
Institute of America.
In
2012, Celebrity became the first cruise
line to cook dinner at the legendary James
Beard House in New York City, and the first cruise line to
open a land-based pop-up restaurant, which debuted in San Francisco.
