  • By Anthony Bourdain
    REGIONS FOOD & DRINKS POLITICS & CULTURE TRAVEL ABOUT STORE Search PRINT SHARE TWEET EMAIL THE HEROES OF THE NEW BASQUE KITCHEN BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN ’m thinking about pears…” is how I imagine their conversations beginning. Late at night, the phone rings in the home of Juan “I Mari Arzak or Ferran Adrià, and the two friends, two of the greatest and most influential chefs in the world, talk about food, about concepts, ideas they are working on. They call each other for inspiration, to bounce ideas off each other, to imagine how they might next push Spanish cuisine forward, and then forward again. Adrià, of course, was the chef of the world-famous El Bulli in Catalonia, which was said to be the world’s best and most innovative restaurant until it closed in 2011. But Arzak, who runs his family’s eponymous restaurant in San Sebastian, was, in many ways, an even more important pioneer. Arzak grew up on the second floor of the same restaurant he still runs today, the third generation of Arzaks to work in what was then a traditional Basque kitchen. But in the 1970s, heavily influenced by the “nouvelle cuisine” of next-door France, he returned to become a transformative figure of the culinary landscape, helping to create a “nueva cocina vasca” that in turn inspired and influenced future generations of Basque and Spanish chefs. Ferran and Albert Adrià, Martin Berasetgui, Andoni Aduriz: these are just a few of the chefs who looked to Arzak as an example of the new possibilities. His daughter, Elena Arzak, joined her father in the kitchen after training abroad with Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagniare, and is now considered one of the great chefs in the world in her own right.

    PRESENTER BIOGRAPHIES All social media handles refer to Instagram accounts unless otherwise indicated. GASTÓN ACURIO, chef, writer, entrepreneur, and one of the most important promoters of Peruvian cuisine in the world, studied gastronomy and hospitality in Madrid and Paris, where he met his future wife, Astrid Gutsche. He founded his first restaurant in his hometown of Lima, Peru, in 1994, Astrid & Gastón, which went on to get top 20 rankings for years on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants lists. The evolution of the menu over time from classic French dishes to experimentation with other ingredients and Peruvian preparations launched a country-wide trend. Gastón opened Astrid & Gastón franchises in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Spain, and created other brands, including La Mar, Tanta, Panchita, Chicha, Madam Tusan, Bachiche, and Papacho’s. In 2007, Gastón began focusing on education and founded the first school of chefs and waiters for low-income youth in Pachacútec, Ventanilla, Callao. That same year, he founded APEGA, the Peruvian Society of Gastronomy, with which he organized the first International Gastronomic Fair of Lima, subsequently named Mistura, one of the most important gastronomic events in Latin America. He has received many honors and awards, including Peru’s Order of Merit for Distinguished Services in the Grade of Grand Cross, the most important after the Order El Sol de Perú; Entrepreneur of the Year from América Económica; the World Gastronomy Award in Sweden; the World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ Diners Club Lifetime Achievement Award; and, with Astrid, the Eckart Innovation Prize.

Not surprisingly, she was honored with the Veuve Clicquot World’s Best Female Chef Award in 2012.

Juan Mari Arzak, a seminal figure in the development of New Basque cuisine, earned the family restaurant its third Michelin star in 1989, a ranking that’s been maintained for three decades, making Arzak one of a handful of dining spots to have reached such a milestone. That longevity is a remarkable feat under any circumstance, but consider Arzak lies in a region that glitters with Michelin-starred eateries. The restaurant is known for dishes that are not only extraordinarily original, but also exquisitely plated, which has made Arzak an enduring culinary hot spot, drawing visitors from around the world to savor the seasonal seven-course tasting menu served at lunch and dinner.
