CARNIVAL Cruise Line has named American celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse as its Chief Culinary Officer, which will see another Emeril’s Bistro feature on Carnival Jubilee in Dec.
The restaurant is already proving popular on Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, and in addition to the inclusion of Emeril’s Bistro on Jubilee, Lagasse’s culinary talents will now be utilised fleetwide.
As Chief Culinary Officer, Lagasse will support Carnival’s skilled chefs with guidance on food trends and techniques, and will advise on future menu items and dining concepts.
Guests will also see his input on the menus of main dining rooms fleetwide, including entrees designated as “Emeril recommends” picks.
To celebrate Lagasse’s new role, he and President Christine Duffy lit New York City’s time ball in Times Square together on New Year’s Eve (pictured), ahead of the ball drop.
Duffy and Lagasse invited everyone celebrating in New York and watching from home to “Choose Fun Together”, which is the theme of Carnival’s new advertising campaign, which can be seen throughout Times Square and around the world.
“Food is key to the fun of a Carnival cruise,” Duffy said.
“Emeril’s restaurants on our two new ships have been a great addition to our dining offerings and guests rave about the food.
“With Emeril’s culinary expertise and broader profile on our ships, along with our wildly popular partnership with Food Network star Guy Fieri, Carnival will feature two iconic talents in the food and dining industry across our fleet.”
