NCL Expands Culinary Team

NCL Corporation announced Monday the appointment of three new corporate chefs: Warren Pearson, James Wierzelewski and Christophe Le Cras to the company's food and beverage department. Reporting to Karl Muhlberger, director of culinary operations, the trio brings a combined 67 years of culinary experience to NCL. Pearson, Wierzelewski and Le Cras will work as a team to develop dynamic new menu concepts for the NCL fleet and implement them onboard by the end of November. The chefs will spend five to six hours each day in NCL's test kitchen creating new recipes and making modifications to existing menu items as well as visiting various ships in the fleet and talking with passengers to gather feedback. After the introduction of the new menus, the team will be responsible for maintaining the Freestyle Dining product. For more information, call (800) 327-7030 or visit [www.ncl.com].
