The most food obsessed city in the world - native dishes from restaurants in murcia spain

San Sebastian Mia stanby is most likely the best food in Vancouver
Obsessed cities in the world.
With a population of 180,000, a small pearl on the coast of Spain, there are 15 gaps in the belt, that is, 15 Michelin stars.
London, by contrast, has 34 stars in total, but has a population of about 40 times and millions of visitors.
Men are not sports fanatics in San Sebastian.
They think a good time to exercise is to cook.
They formed a cooking club.
Women are not welcome)
Called Le Sociedades Gastronomicas in the Basque region.
The New York Times reported last year: "For food lovers eager to eat elaborate, technically complex dishes, the city is a respected destination that challenges food
It is said that you can't eat a bad meal anywhere in San Sebastian, because the standard is high and the locals don't eat a bad meal.
Recently, I had a couple of snacks while visiting the city and joined a nightly tradition through the crowds of the old town. Tapas bars (
Pintxos in Basque language)
It may be the Spanish fast food chain, but you can't find processed industrial food in these places.
It was real food and joy.
West Vancouver Fraser restaurant chef Jefferson Alvares is so fascinated by San Sebastian that he has been cooking on holiday for the past five years (without pay)
In Mugaritz, two people.
Michelin star restaurant
This restaurant is part of the Spanish food revolution initiated by Ferran Adria, who has completely changed the way the restaurant is cooked in his El Bulli restaurant, which is closed this summer
El Bulli threw out all the rules and instilled this idea not only in Spain, but also in the world.
Mugaritz chef Adoni Aduriz is a disciple of Adria, who is very obsessed with perfection, and for several years he has gone to the leading liver research hospital in Spain to fully grasp the liver science. Why?
Complete his foie gras cooking.
Mugaritz is ranked third on the world's top 50 best restaurants list, and Alvares is too lazy to even travel out of town because the food he likes is there.
'Pride drives San Sebastian's food, 'said Alvares.
"You can see it when you go to the [market]
Everyone has.
People want to sell you the best.
They won't sell you anything that's not 1,000.
"If you want to really see what is important and what is valuable, you follow the money.
In San Sebastian (
Same as the rest of Spain)
The economy is already in trouble, but no one is giving up the fun at the table.
"The economy is one of the worst in the world, but every restaurant is still full," Alvares said . ".
"Restaurants are making money.
People go out every day.
When you see the amount of food in every small restaurant, it's crazy.
The people there ate a lot and it was not that expensive.
It's all local. it's all handmade. made.
"Mugaritz food: even in Mugaritz, where food is carefully made, the staff will rest for three hours from 2 to 5. m. for lunch.
Lunch is more
Said Alvares.
He said that everyone would go to "jump snacks" at night ".
Drink a little, eat a little, catch up with friends in the bar, then move to another bar, hang out on the street for a while, and go to another bar.
That is the exercise. (
Snacks Mean "cold" or "top", once, ham or cheese or bread placed on wine or sherry can prevent dust and flies. )
During the day is relatively quiet, the old town of San Sebastian explodes at night, and people's rivers flow through the old town of the city.
A Quebec native, who runs a maple syrup crepes shop in the snack frenzy, corrected our temporary operations.
We avoided some places where food was not displayed on the counter.
No, he said the counter without food was a good phenomenon.
It means they make it fresh and it hasn't sat down yet. Duh!
We walked through the street and came to a place called Borda Berri with no food on the counter.
The chef was one of the first truly creative people.
I asked the waiter to bring us their best four course, which is much easier to say in sign language than a toddler in Spain.
The dishes are delicious, especially the braised beef tail.
I found that I was also very good at walking to the counter bored in the human ocean.
We learned to pay the bill right away instead of reciting what we later ate in idiot Spanish (
It's like we can name them! ).
It is true that the honor system should not play a role in this confusion, but it does.
Great.
As the evening went on, a foreigner like me wanted a massive drunken and bickering outbreak during the time of drinking and eating.
The bar and the street have a happy atmosphere, but that's it.
I have seen more public drunkenness in polite Tokyo.
The Spaniards are disgusted with public drunkenness.
What better way to stay civilized than to take some food and drinks!
El Bulli is closed this year, but its legacy is as deep as Picasso and Anthony.
In Barcelona, there are disciples of Bulli everywhere.
Chef Carles Abellan was one of them and I went to two of his restaurants.
At his Tapac 24, you sit at the bar and order, much calmer than standing and shouting.
Then we raised the budget and went to one of his-
Michelin star Comerc 24, his high
At the end of the restaurant, lunch prices dropped by $280.
The food came out, the snack style, and the service was quite stuffy (really?
When I go to the bathroom, the salad tongs are used to pick up and replace the napkins? )
There are unexpected costs (
To our dismay, the bread and olive oil on the bill was $22)
But the food was delicious.
It's not avant-garde or El Bulli-
As I expected. (Commerc 24)
In another popular place, Cal Pep, we also avoided the mosh pit scene.
First come first served, first come first served.
Those who did not have seats stood in the neat line, and as we finished the plate after plate, we drool quietly along the wall behind us.
With their support, we have not been blamed by them and hope that we will speed up.
I have to say that although the scene of mosh pit is lively and good for joy, I prefer arrogant parties --
Popper, sit down in the style of snacks.
As for San Sebastian's reputation for never offering bad food?
I'm sorry to be a spoiler, but when we were three, we did have a bad meal (! )
The snack bar we wanted to try was closed one night.
Unlike the Spaniards, at 9: 30, we were crazy, and the hungry drooling dog rushed to the nearest snack bar.
All I remember is greasy and greasy food.
