Only the Best for Kanye West


Ever visited a foreign country and enjoyed a meal so amazing that you wish you could do it over again, at home?


Most of us don’t have the budget to courier in our food from afar, but there are a select few for whom money is no object. Grammy award winning record producer and rapper ‘Kanye West’ is one such person. He recently enjoyed one of his favourite meals from a restaurant in Cardiff in Wales with seven invited guests in New York.


The meal of onion bhajees, chapati breads, biryanis, pappadums, and a specially prepared fish dish was accompanied on the plane by a chef and delivered to West’s NY soiree for a mere $3,900. Not a bad little mark-up for an Indian meal, especially when you realise that a regular dish at the original restaurant in Wales would have cost him under $20.00.
