How far would you go for an unforgettable meal? Perhaps 30.000 meters above sea level? Space travel company SpaceVIP joins forces with chef Rasmus Munk for an out-of-this-world culinary experience; on the edge of space…
One small step for a person, a giant leap for… the Michelin world. The experience will take place aboard Spaceship Neptune. A large capsule that can take its passengers to a height of 30 kilometers thanks to a huge balloon. The launch date of this first carbon-neutral spacecraft is set for late 2025 and will depart from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Chef Rasmus Munk from The Alchemist** restaurant in Copenhagen will provide the meal on board. According to SpaceVIP, the flight will last a total of six hours. During the culinary trip, participants have access to Wi-Fi and can even stream the entire experience live with friends and family back on Earth. Costs for this six-hour spectacle? $495.000 (€464.825) per person. This makes the meal the most expensive in history.
Chocolate in the shape of a coffin
Munk is known for his idiosyncrasy. In his restaurant he repeatedly amazed his guests with inventive dishes that convey a deeper message. Think of chocolate in the shape of a coffin to draw attention to child labor in cocoa production or cod served with edible plastic as a powerful statement against ocean pollution.
