Fatboy Slim has opened a Japanese restaurant. The DJ and musician liked the food in his local eatery so much, he has gone into partnership with Okinami’s owner, Mike Dodd, to relocate the restaurant to central Brighton, South England.
Fatboy, real name Norman Cook, had been eating at the original branch of Okinami in nearby Hove for 11 years. Rumours are already suggesting a turn in the kitchen could be on the cards for Cook, who will no doubt be asking for advice from his friend, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Cook told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper, "Jamie Oliver is a big mate of my wife Zoe, so he has encouraged me a lot."
