Bon to serve as caterer to new Georgia Aquarium
Bon's culinary services have been retained by the new $200 million Georgia Aquarium to serve as their caterer for banquets, private parties, and receptions.
The Georgia Aquarium boasts the beautiful "Ocean's Ballroom", which has the capacity to serve a sit-down dinner for as many as 1,000 people.
The Ocean's Ballroom is flanked by a viewing window of the Aquarium's sub-aquatic habitat, where patrons may specifically choose which marine life they would like to eat that particular evening.
At the behest of smaller private parties, Bon will swim into the tank, identify the fish or mammal chosen and personally kill the selected fish before cleaning it and preparing it for the guest's supper.
In the event of very large groups, Bon will personally select a tank to dynamite for that evening's fare and will serve whatever is blown out of the water or floats to the surface.
So please, next time you are in Atlanta, don't forget to stop by the World's Largest Aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium. Tell them the Playaz sent you, and that you wouldn't mind a little Baluga Whale courtesy of Bon himself! ;)

Fish and chips! Bon, you make an old Englishman feel right at home.

Do you think Bon has a good recipe for Comanche Springs Pupfish? It is an endangered fish, but I feel it would taste pretty good with mango salsa.

Well, too bad that I didn't know Bon was the the chef while I was visiting Atlanta. I would have enjoyed some dolphin with a side of great white.

Steve- I think endangered species always taste a little more special than the common fish. The exception to this is of course bass and bream

Bon, I've always admired your ability to glide through the water with such ease and grace.

Thank you Guvna. I do look quite at ease while underwater with a knife, don't I?

If a diver / trainer happens to be in the tank at the time of dynamite detonation, is there a contingency plan for that or will Bon simply mix in the man meat with the fish and hope no one notices?

Is there any clown fish on the menu?
I wouldn't mind seeing the looks on the faces of children as I eat Nemo.

Is this place written up in Zagat's?
Posted by: Washington Cube at February 28, 2006 1:29 PM
Yes, WC, it is. Per Zagat's...
Those that choose to dine at the Aquarium find the atmosphere "threatening" and "filled with a sense of dread." Children, however, marvel at "Bon's ability to stab even the smallest of creatures." When it comes to the cuisine itself, one reader noted "Chef Bon's consistently good fare" and that "Kenny may have taught him a little too well."

TFTC - Divers are required to carry extra insurance in case of an accident, similar to those who work on construction of skyscrapers, etc. In the event of their untimely demise, they are fished out of the tank and their next of kin is contacted and asked if they wish for their spouse to be donated as food for the other fish - not for our patrons.
I-66 - There are definitely clown fish at the aquarium. The kids actually love Bon's children's menu, which also includes the new addition "Mr. Limpet 'N Chips" in honor of the late Don Knotts.
Guv - Zagat's also added the cheesy by-line "we were 'blown away' by Bon's selection", as is typical of their reviews.

These people sure are touchy around here. I attack one whale shark with a knife and you would have thought I was butchering some creature that is rarely in captivity. It is an aggresive beast, and at times must be shown its place.
Every day around here, its like, "But Bon, could you take it easy?!?! We can only get so many of these kind of fish, or Bon, please don't use c-4 explosives while the kids are looking at the fish!!"
I have almost had enough of this already. They can straighten out, or I will go where I am appreciated.

Yes Bon, the PETA folks in particular are a pain. They do not take into account the millions and millions of plankton killed everyday by just one whale shark. This is animal deserves little sympathy, and tastes delicious.

I want to be first in line to give head to the shark when I next visit Atlanta! OK, maybe it is the early happy hour talking, but ever since I first tasted shark fin soup it did something to me.

This reminds me of my favourite scene from Ace Ventura when Ace falls into the shark tank. Oh man...
