Japanese food no longer means just sushi and sashimi. Aaron Craze breaks the rules with his take on oriental food with aromatic noodle dumplings, tempura soft-shell crabs and chicken yakitori - plus some amazing parkour moves at his mate's parkour jam on Southend seafront. In his attempt to celebrate everybody's favourite kind of food - street food, he invites viewers to ditch the cutlery and the fancy surroundings and dig in, and makes it a truly exciting experience with his Rude Boy tactics.
As a participant on celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's television show 'Fifteen', Aaron Craze learnt to cook food after a series of low-paid jobs including working in a factory, as a gardener and a carpet-fitter. Today, he counts his mentor Jamie Oliver as one of his friends and the transformation from a disadvantaged background to a celebrity chef has been complete.
The people and events he cooks for, the menus he creates and the 'extras' he chucks into the mix make him highly watchable as he showcases his formidable expertise at each event to turn it into a sizzling celebration.
