WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted April 10 18 minutes ago, jerryskids said: I don't know all of the tradition, but it seems like he is providing authentic food from his homeland, including his mom's lentil stew which is super cute.  It's not like he's from China and serving raw pangolin from the Wuhan wet market.  These guys can eat whatever they want at any dinner. This is more of an experience feel IMO. Patatas bravas was one of my favorite tapas in both Madrid and Barcelona last year. Pretty much fried chunks of potato with a spicy red sauce and milder white sauce drizzled on top. Im biased because I was just there (and apparently heading back to Barcelona for a few days after a Portugal trip in late September) I could drink beer and eat tapas all day. It's all super inexpensive over there and many of the tapas are larger portions than appetizers at american restaurants. Croquetas, bombas, patatas bravas, spanish omelet, huevos rotos, small sandwiches with iberica ham and cheese on bread or croissant, mini chorizos   are my favorites. So many good ones though  iberica ham is expensive as fock though. i guess the pigs eat strictly acorns from the region and it really does give the ham its flavor.. delicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
