Chapter Fifteen

Iron Chef Marinara. Well, maybe not yet, but he had beat the Iron Chef in the Kitchen Stadium and who knew where the future would lead. The thought was giddying, but it was time to get back to business.

Meryll dealt with all the media requests. Studios were clamoring for interviews with the Wrogul, and Food Network called every day with new show ideas. Kelly of Kelly and Ryan, the Holograms, had misinterpreted Marinara’s name and was referring to him as Mary Narra. Ryan had corrected her and assured the audience the name was Maury Narra. So now half the media sources were referring to him as Mary and half as Maury. It didn’t matter. They all knew he was the Wrogul chef who had won the Kitchen Stadium battle, no matter what his name was.

One talk show host had assured his fans that Wrogul were sexless and therefore Chef Mary could indeed claim the pronoun “she.” Most producers assumed he was “she” and kept leaving messages: “Have her call, please. We want her on our show.” Alton Brown III called and asked if he could plan a sushi special with the future Iron Chef for his network.

Master Masimotta had briefly expressed pleasure at Marinara’s success and the positive attention it brought the restaurant, then gruffly informed him to return to work.

Marinara eyed Meryll as she entered the room. He floated to the top of his tank.

She smiled as she greeted him, and her eyes twinkled mischievously. “How are you feeling, Chef?”

“Somewhat stunned. A little sore.” Marinara eyed a few of the cuts on his arms from the hectic kitchen activity. Nanites had healed the serious cuts and what remained was mostly itchy patches of healing skin.

“Tony Gamboa has left several messages. He’s invited his ‘Li’l Wrogul’ back to Naples to visit when you’re ready. He wants to host a dinner party and have you cook the meal. Brull has sent intergalactic congratulations, and says he’s proud to know you.

“But we have some big decisions to make. First, with all the credits you’ve earned, we can afford that building in Houston. From your own earnings,” she hastened to add, “not your family yack. I think we should proceed with the purchase and make Chez Marinara our top project.”

Marinara waved an arm in agreement. “But Tri-V? What about Tri-V?

“The Food Network wants to meet with you in person, not with me. Their show runners have some ideas they want to fling at you. Of course, first is an Iron Chef spinoff. They still have an American Kitchen Stadium set they can upgrade and transport to Houston, and they are quite excited about the possibilities. BBC and USBC have both offered you Cooking with Mary shows. UDAD wants you to host a televised sushi competition where home cooks compete weekly on sushi and sashimi challenges until only one cook is the winner. And you have—” Meryll consulted her slate “—twenty-two requests for appearances on broadcast shows, including one in New Delhi and one in Tel Aviv, and eighty-eight requests for interviews with digital media.
