COPYRIGHT SUE BLUNDELL 2011 84 YACHT ESSENTIALS WHEN CHEFS FACE OFF The Straight Dope BY ANITA VALIUM
So, I was at this sushi night organized by a yacht chef who had recently found himself unemployed and, as such, had nothing else to do to pass the time other than organize sushi nights at his friend’s bar in an attempt to stop himself from partying it up every night. All chopsticked up, I was attempting to dip my sashimi into a delicious wasabi-laced soy sauce without dropping it and splashing myself all over. Again. Anyway, attempt failed, I was dabbing at the fresh brown splats on my sleeve when my friend, another yacht chef, sauntered over to fish for work. “You missed a bit,” he said, looking at me oddly. “Where?” I asked, looking at my other sleeve. “On your nose,” he replied, smirking. I wiped at it. “Gone?” I asked. “No. Here, it’s a bit dried on...” he said, leaning over to do that lick-hanky-and-wipe-face thing that a toddler’s mum would be proud of. The distinct possibility that I’d been talking to the captain of a freshly pulled up 65-meter for the past 15 minutes with congealed soy and wasabi on my face, giving me the appearance of fungus the bogey man, suddenly dawned on me. Brilliant. Anyway, a conversation ensued whereby said yacht chef proceeded to verbally dissect the sushi, pulling out its strengths, but more than that, focusing on its weaknesses. He took great pleasure in having a captive audience (I couldn’t move; I had him on one side and a whole tray of California rolls calling my name on the other) and explained how he prepared his own sushi and, of course, how it was much better. I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when the yacht chef who’d prepared the food came over. The dialogue that followed was, I realized, when unable to get a word in edgeways for 10 minutes, not unlike the manner in which two rutting stags circle each other, prancing around, attempting to look mean and scary whilst showing off their antlers for the ladies looking on. OK, in this case it was just a few old sorts hanging off bar stools with half empty martini glasses who’d heard www.<strong>Yacht</strong><strong>Essentials</strong>.com 85
