Houston, We Have Sushi

Bobby Flay better watch his back. We think there is a new star ready to conquer Iron Chef. Soichi Noguchi. Never heard of him? Don't feel too bad. He's not a chef. Noguchi is an astronaut who just posted a hilarious video of himself making sushi in space.

The video is strangely hypnotic, especially when he lets the sushi roll float in space. Definite screen-saver potential.

Last December Noguchi vowed to become the first sushi chef in space and now he's fulfilled his pledge. Oddly enough his bio on NASA lists basketball and camping as hobbies but makes no mention of cooking. He's also posted some wonderful Twitpics from space and even makes you guess some of the cities. Clearly a fun guy to float around with.

The video after the jump.
