Is there a place in Calgary for the Omakase style sushi version of this? Personal sushi chef who makes each piece for you, Anthony Bourdain-esque experience?

It's very fitting you mention Bourdain, because the closest place that I can think of for that high level Omakase, is in Vancouver at Tojo's, if you pay the premium to sit at his sushi counter.

I personally know a Japanese National Sushi chef and with sushi appetite being on the decline in Calgary (O&G money drying up) we've talked about the prospect of doing a "personal chef @ your home" business. Saving on the overhead, she would visit your home and make a personalized sushi dinner for you and your guests. You can watch and speak to the chef as she prepares and serves each dish
Without going into a deeper dive into AHS guidelines if this is even possible, we've always wondered if there was such a demand for something like this
