Argentine born, but Ibiza based chef, Sebastian Mazzola is todays guest as he spends his summers working out of a private space close to Dalt Vila. He used to work under head chef Albert Adria in Barcelona at the now closed 41 and explains, how as a lover of electronic music, he befriended a group of well known DJ´s which got him starting to think about the way they fly all over the world showcasing their music and how that could also be applied to the way he creates food. Our conversation took place when he was recently in Japan cooking on a tiny island and over the last decade, he has been travelling with his partner, through Cooking in Motion, all over the world. The interview took place as part of The Xarraca Journal - Issue 4 which launches next week officially and has the theme of human connection which features a mix of fashion, sustainability, technology, regenerative practise, wellness, fiction, poetry, music, art and, of course, the progressive thinking that is so much a part of our island community.

Whether it's people who overdo it with plastic surgery, or someone who spent their 15 minutes of fame when they were twelve months old, it's sad to see people desperate for attention. Topics also include Pfizer's approval from the FDA, a breast milk thief, how COVID changed the landscape of fine dining, the underutilization of scent dogs, the OnlyFans saga, and how reaching out to help a friend has brought clarity and peace into my life.

I was 18 when I first started working at a restaurant. I was a dishwasher. I only got the job because I wanted to go to Ibiza for vacation, and washing dishes was the only job I could find.—Chef Ferran AdriàWhen I was a young man I wanted to be a chef. Food always fascinated me. I loved to taste it, I loved to cook it, and I loved—well, before the rise of food porn, I loved to read about food, talk about food, and watch people prepare it. When other kids were watching The Price Is Right on days home sick from school, I watched The Frugal Gourmet, Yan Can Cook, and shows featuring Julia Child, TV's cooking matriarch. Combine this passion with an over-encouraging mother and an Italian grandmother who made a mean Sunday gravy, and you have all the makings of a future chef. I followed my passion diligently, even at a young age, constantly experimenting and honing my craft. Then, opportunity knocked: close friends of my mother were friendly with Wolfgang Puck (thank you, Ron and Nancy), and encouraged me to write to him to apply for a culinary stage my junior year of high school. I followed her advice, and a few months later, during summer break, I headed to Los Angeles to work in the kitchen at Wolfgang's original restaurant, Spago, on the Sunset Strip. After a couple of bumps in the road (including not knowing that chefs brought their own knives to work), I hit my stride and began the daily grind that is working in a professional kitchen.The backbone of modern kitchens is formed by immigrants (many illegal), who are highly skilled cooks but willing to work for the wages that give restaurants the possibility of making a profit, and young culinary students willing to work for next to nothing to learn their craft. I spent months chopping fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, occasionally worked on meats or fish, and, when I was lucky, got to prepare a staff meal. The experience was magical. I still remember the smells, the tastes, and even the first time I ever got drunk—with the staff—and spent the next morning in the bathroom throwing up when I wasn't chopping jalapeños while the staff cheered me on. I rubbed my bloodshot eyes with the same hands I used to chop the jalapeños—and let's just say it was a painful mistake I never made again.After a couple of months, just as I was getting the hang of it, I had to leave. School was starting, I had a girlfriend back in New York, and it was my senior year of high school. I remember returning and being really stoked about cooking, but I was also no longer in the kitchen. While Wolfgang wrote me a college recommendation and I got accepted to Cornell, I also got back into the regular life of a teenager. And the further I drifted from the energy of that kitchen, the more I convinced myself I would be wasting my talents as a chef. Why should I be a manual laborer when I could use my Ivy League degree to become a wealthy businessman? Most chefs made an hourly wage, and I would probably have to spend many years struggling. So I abandoned my dream and pursued the business side of hospitality. While the decision worked out well for me professionally, I can say without question that not pursuing a career in the kitchen is a decision I continue to regret.While in general I don't believe in regret, I keep it alive in my consciousness in this case as a reminder that I made a decision for the wrong reasons. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my short-term comfort to pursue the purest form of my purpose. I didn't recognize or accept that I couldn't start at the top; my ego got in the way, as it does for many of us. If Mark Zuckerberg can start Facebook and be the CEO, isn't anything less a failure? After all, that's what the media sells us. We've discussed the error in this kind of thinking, but at the time, I was blissfully unaware of it, and it cost me—maybe not financially, but in many other ways.
Katie Button is at the helm of two restaurants in Asheville, North Carolina - the lively and authentic Spanish experience at Cúrate, the nationally-acclaimed tapas restaurant, and Button & Co. Bagels, influenced by Katie's upbringing in New Jersey. Chef Katie took a winding road to open her restaurants in Asheville, first pursuing science degrees at Cornell and earning her master's degree in biomedical engineering in Paris. Realizing that a life in Science wasn't for her, she changed course to the culinary field, starting as a server at one of Jose Andres' restaurants in Washington DC, volunteering on her days off to work at his avante garde restautant minibar to help prep in their kitchen, since she didn't have any professional cooking experience. Being in the kitchen made her realize that it was the place she wanted to be most, so from there, she got a position in the kitchen at New York's Jean-Georges in their pastry kitchen as an intern. From there, she moved out LA to work at The Bazaar by José Andrés, and that following Summer, she landed a postion in the pastry kitchen at elBulli, Chef Ferran and Albert Adria's legendary 3 michelin star restaurant in Spain. It was there that she met her husband Felix, and together they moved to Asheville to open a restaurant with her parents, where they eventually opened Cúrate in 2011. The classic Spanish tapas restaurant received instant attention and accolades, from mentions in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and earning status as a nominee for the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef award in 2014, semi-finalist for Best Chefs in America in 2015 and a nominee for Best Chef Southeast 2018 and 2019.

This episode begins with a bit of bad news. Rich & Matt recently auditioned for a nation-wide Dell computer commercial. They were in the running but at the last minute they were turned down because they were too straight! Cant make this up, folks.From here, the Rogues move into a new wine label APP, Living Wine Labels. Interesting but gimmicky & the APP needs to have better "juice" behind it. Perhaps some craft spirits?Main focus of this weeks podcast celebrates chefs José Andrés & Albert Adria's new Mercado, Little Spain. We arrived as guests of wine importer, writer and Spanish culinary expert, Gerry Dawes. Eater New York "The result is a 35,000-square-foot food hall with three full-service restaurants; tapas, wine, and cocktail bars; a coffee shop; nearly a dozen food stalls; and three shops selling flowers, dry goods, and souvenirs. Most products ranging from the cured Ibérico hams to the flour used to make churros will be directly imported from Spain, Lopez stresses. And they include ingredients from all corners of Spanish cuisine, not one region neglected." This concept is absolutely amazing and definitely hits all the senses! A must visit in NYC.We close with another trend building momentum in the US. Tinned seafood. Although this is popular in many countries, including Spain. It's relatively new to the US. We visited three establishments highlighting "tins". Began with a visit to Angelicas in Buffalo, NY Haley Henry wine bar, Boston. Mercado Little Spain is also on board with Tins. Jose Andres imports his own & sells a variety at the the market place.
The Cogill’s welcome the return of the series “Chef’s Table” on Netflix highlighting Chef Cristina Martinez of the acclaimed Philadelphia Mexican restaurant, “South Philly Barbacoa,” and one of the leaders of Spain’s culinary avant-garde scene, Albert Adria, formerly of "El Bulli.” Wine expert, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, pairs Adria's culinary brilliance with one of her wine travel highlights, recalling a trip to Spain hunting for tuffles and drinking the wines of Beronia and Secastilla Film Critic, Gary Cogill, says “Free Solo” is a thrilling, Oscar contending film about an attempt to climb the face of El Capitan in Yosemite without ropes. Hayley takes us to the high altitude terrain of Alto Adige, Italy where spectacular wines are grown on soaring slopes at high elevations at the base of the Dolomite Mountains
He has lived in the shadow of his brother most of his life, and now he is building an empire of his own. For decades, when people thought of El Bulli, it was synonymous with Ferran Adria. But those who knew the inner workings of that project were well aware that it was Albert who was responsible for its success all along.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we travel through the food world with John Sconzo (docsconz.com). If you've been to any chef's event (e.g. StarChefs, Madrid Fusion, Bocuse D'Or) you've probably met the guy behind the lens, who's dined at half of the World's Fifty Best Restaurants, and who's affectionately know as "Doc". Sconzo grew up in Brooklyn, NY, eschewing foods like onions, mushrooms and cheese, the turning point, an online forum in 2003 called eGullet, and an opinionated, but not self-important, a community of foodies. This gave Sconzo the culinary voice he was longing to have. Though he's really an anesthesiologist, hence "Doc", food has always been his medicine. Now he takes groups of adventurous eaters to New Orleans, New York City, Italy and Barcelona, for intimate insider tours with renowned chefs like Massimo Bottura and Albert Adria. Check out www.docsconztravel.com for more of Doc's culinary travels, and to join in on the food fun!
