Nobu is a high-end international sushi chain, with Wagyu beef retailing for $40 per ounce. Their D.C. location has advertised a chef's tasting menu that costs $200 per person, called "Omakase." Nobu is best known for its association with world-famous Japanese "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto.Mayorkas has recently come under fire for going shoe shopping after Hurricane Helene had made landfall and before his visit to the Tar Heel State.

Elon Musk made a post on his site X on Tuesday the 8 saying, "Maybe Mayorkas could take a break from shoe shopping to look into this," citing reporting from Fox News' Chad Pergram on untapped FEMA funds.In another post on X from earlier on Thursday, Mayorkas wrote, "This morning, I spoke with @NC_Governor Roy Cooper, @SenThomTillis, and @SenTedBuddNC, and reiterated the full force of our @DHSgov and federal support to the people of North Carolina as we work to recover and rebuild. We will be there every step of the way."Nobu restaurants did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
