World-famous Mexican chef visiting Budapest! – Video

Santiago Lastra Rodriguez has been chosen as one of the top ten best young Scandinavian chefs recently. The Mexican super chef is about to open his first restaurant in the United Kingdom, but first, he decided to show his incomparable and incredible cooking style in the Hungarian capital.

Rodrigez is simply known as the ‘Nomad Mexican Chef’ in the world of gastronomy as he travelled across the world to give ‘tour dinners’. So far, he has been to twenty-six countries. This nomad lifestyle represents important moments for him and a rare opportunity to show the world his home country’s traditional food and gastronomy. In Mexico, food is not just something people eat, but it equals enjoyment.

“Mexico is the only country in the world where you taste something, and you can feel the soul of the people. Enjoying every bite is what makes us Mexicans happy every day” – he says.

Origo reported that the Mexican chef would arrive in Budapest soon to make a menu which consists of eight different meals, with St. Andrea Restaurant’s chef Ádám Barna. The two chefs will present this special menu together in the restaurant. This pop-up dinner is probably the last station of Rodriguez’s tour as he is about to fly to London where he is going to open his first restaurant called Kol Restaurant.
