A chef and restauranteur who has worked in some of the most highly esteemed kitchens in the world and who now is one of New York's most celebrated chefs, Murphy is a judge on the Food Network shows "Chopped" and "Chopped Junior"

His first experience of space is called "Taste of Space".

Murphy said he wouldn't be able to live in space. Food is one of the ways in which I need stimulation. I like flavors and I like texture in food.

Tubes and cubes are still part of the astronauts' menu, but space food has changed a lot since the early days. Similar to military meals ready to eat, thermostablized selections are also available. A limited supply of fresh foods can be brought by periodic missions.

If you think about being in a space station for that long, you need some type of stimulation, even things to talk about with your colleagues.

During the "Taste of Space: Celebrity Chef Edition" event, Murphy, Dispirito, and Goldman will demonstrate their cooking techniques as guests mingle with the cutting-edge space exploration innovations and designs.

After sampling the chefs' dishes, attendees will be served a "out-of-this-world" cake by Goldman. The former space shuttle astronauts will pose for pictures between bites.

While on the International Space Station in 2009, Magnus wrote that food is an important part of our lives.

She wrote that the variety of food is good and that you can increase it by mixing and matching. The dishes I have made have a high sauce content so they are easy to eat or put on a tortilla.

The guests of "Taste in Space: Celebrity Chef Edition" will be able to learn how to cook at home.

My goal as a chef isn't just to cook for people, it's also to teach them something that they can do at home. I'm going to make my grandmother's ratatouille recipe because it's something I like to eat and it has a nice story behind it.

The "Taste of Space: Celebrity Chef Edition" costs $175 per person and includes two alcoholic drink tickets, photo opportunities with the astronauts, a collectible event pin, and a piece signed by the chefs and the astronauts. The event is part of the festival.

At the time of this article, the experience that included a dinner created by the chefs and autograph opportunities with both the astronauts and chefs was already sold out.
