This chef has his global favourites, writes Aine Fox
He cooked for Princess Diana (who was a big fan of his food), has a business venture with Robert De Niro and operates fine dining sushi restaurants all over the world.
When Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa says "food is my passion and my life", you have to believe him.
The 68-year-old travels for 10 months of the year, visiting his restaurants — situated in the US, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, Japan, Mexico, the Bahamas, South Africa, Dubai, Qatar, Hungary, the UK, Spain, Italy and Russia — to train chefs and ensure his high standards are met.
But Matsuhisa is always keen to step outside his own places and try other foods, visiting new restaurants and some of his old favourites when he gets the chance. So where does he go for the best food around the world?
