Chef’s Note: We’re only seven days into 2024 and I believe I have discovered a new favorite superhero: Blue Raja – Master of Cutlery!
Seriously, he seems tailor-made for a comic book food archaeologist, don’t you think? He obviously cares deeply about table manners and dining etiquette.
And his weapon of choice is forks! C’mon now…
Silverware Mastery: He has a proficient knowledge of forks and spoons and, with training from The Sphinx, he has become a master of cutlery, able to throw forks and spoons with incredible accuracy and can incapacitate his targets easily.
Swoon!
