Either everything's going to get spicier - or this is (most likely) just for name recognition/public relations. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the article: "As Chief Culinary Officer, Lagasse will support Carnival’s skilled chefs with guidance on food trends and techniques as well as advise on future menu items and dining concepts. Guests will also see his input on the menus of main dining rooms fleetwide, including entrées designated as “Emeril recommends” picks." So hopefully we will see some BAM in the MDR😄! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted December 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 28, 2022 When a new CEO takes over a company in financial trouble, big changes usually follow. I couldn't imagine them hiring him in this new role, and virtually nothing changes. I am very interested to see what this brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fart Cruisers Posted December 28, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Since the only thing Carnival is interested in is cutting costs, I can't imagine him having much of a role other than just a using his name for marketing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHS123 Posted December 28, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Maybe he can do more for the food than George Lopez did for comedy on Carnival. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted December 28, 2022 #19 Share Posted December 28, 2022 It's all gimmick. I promise you, he will not be in any galley making dishes or even giving a big fat "BAM" on each plate or sprinkle his salty magic like Salt Bae on each plate as it goes out...*gag* The Shaq one is funny....a play on CFO This one, ehhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERK Posted December 28, 2022 #20 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Being from Louisiana, I'm personally looking forward to it if we get more cajun/creole style foods in the MDR. The more spicy the better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
