American Sushi Chef Robby Cook Lets His Skills Do the Talking
At Morimoto, a downtown restaurant located in Chelsea, New York, sushi chef and Iowa native Robby Cook likes to let the fish do the talking for him.
To those who say they want to see a Japanese chef serve their sushi in order to get the “authentic” sushi experience, Cook says “Go ahead!”
“At this point, I’m in my career where it doesn’t really matter… if they want a different chef, then far be it…” said Cook. “I think my skills prove it and I’ve done my time.”
As he chats with our New York correspondent, Agnes Chung, we learn that Cook started out by working at an organic grocery store back when he was going to college and that’s when he and his friends would start making sushi on their own. (They got really into the show Iron Chef.)
Working for Chef Morimoto has been surreal for Cook. He was working at BondST when Chef Morimoto came in to eat on a Sunday night and called him over to ask him to swing by for an interview.
