Continuing the food theme, celebrated chefs on hand included Guy Fieri, whose long partnership with Carnival is embodied in his Guy's Pig & Anhor Smokehouse Brewhouse and Guy’s Burgers on board. Emeril Lagasse will have his first seagoing venue, Emeril’s Bistro 1396, aboard the nest Fun Ship, 2020’s Mardi Gras, as will master chef Rudi Sodamin with Rudi’s Seagrill, where a selection of dishes will be presented as edible food faces.
Carnival Panorama, meanwhile, has the first Carnival Kitchen, a culinary studio for engaging, hands-on classes, which Fieri, Lagasse and Sodamin inaugurated earlier at a ribbon-cutting.
