Keeping it real
Rapper Kanye West, apparently not liking curry cuisine this side of the pond, ordered Indian dishes to go from a Welsh restaurant for a party in New York.Didn't I see something similar in an episode of M*A*S*H?
Delivering the trans-Atlantic order from British Raj, near Newport, Wales, to West's party scheduled for Wednesday will involve dry ice containers, a helicopter ride to Heathrow, a business-class flight to New York and a limousine to West's door, the Independent said Monday.
The operation, which will be overseen by head chef Kaysor Ahmed, will cost West more than $3,800 for the restaurant tab alone. An average meal at the Indian restaurant usually costs $38.
The six-time Grammy winner was given the restaurant's number by rapper Snoop Dogg, who has dined at the restaurant.
The order includes eight portions of Ayre fish, vegetable biryani, mixed vegetables, chutney, onion bhaji and chapati.
"It is unbelievable, I didn't even know this Snoop Dogg man had eaten our food before," restaurant owner Masud Ahmed told The independent. "And when the order came in on the fax we had no idea who Kanye West was; we had to type his name into Google." - UPI, March 5, 2007
