I asked him one question before the deed was done: Have you ever been caked BACK before?
His reply: Never. Only by personal friends.

THE TASTE OF REVENGE CAKE
with a Singapore twist. Unfortunately pandan cake doesn't stick as well.
...but it does taste more delicious.
The best I could do trying to find a cake for the last minute idea.
As you might expect, coming from a guy who gets part of his daily workout from lifting people into crowd surfing rafts, he was a good sport about getting a revenge cake to the face.
Earlier in the evening, Steve Adelman of Avalon surprised me with an appropriate shirt.
Now to create a one-time I GOT CAKED BY GASTRONOMMY shirt...
Cool fact: Food is another one of Aoki's many passions. He owns 4 restaurants in the United States -- and it ain't Benihana's. Can you figure out which ones are his?
