Wednesday's episode (January 30) of Bravo Media's Emmy Award-winning
Top Chef culinary competition series, now in its 10th season, was filmed in a unique setting.
That unique setting? At sea.
Airing at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central on January 30, the latest in the series was filmed onboard the 2158-guest Celebrity Millennium and 2170-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 Chef judges also were onboard to join in the action and assess the chef'testants results.
This week, Celebrity is also 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.
On Wednesday, Celebrity Cruises is hosting a private screening of the Top Chef episode at their pop-up location, with five talented former Top Chef chef'testants in attendance: Hung Huynh, Mike Isabella, Spike Mendelsohn, Hosea Rosenberg and Casey Thompson.
Celebrity Cruises has been known since its founding in 1990 for providing the best dining experience in premium cruising. 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.
