Believe it or not, but right at this moment many of the world's greatest chefs are all in Sao Paulo, and are participating in MESA TENDENCIAS, a Brazilian version of what's considered the world's top food event, Madrid Fusion.

Ferran, Arzak, Berasategui, Joan Roca, Andoni Aduriz, Dani Garcia...
THEY'RE ALL HERE! Pretty incredible. I had lunch with a bunch of them
yesterday at a very simple restaurant specialized in food from the
Northeast of Brazil called Mocotó, and you can see photos and even
a video of Joan Roca, Salvador Brugues and Oriol Castro (Ferran's right
hand man) at a samba show by clicking here

Hello Ronaldoebt, yes, I have many many many photos of the Mesa Tendencias event. For those of you who understand Portuguese, the index of all that I wrote about the event, illustrated with photos and videos, is HERE.

For English speakers, you can read a full account in English of the amazing dinner that Alex Atala served to all the Spanish greats at the close of Mesa Tendencias - attended by Berasategui, Arzak, Adrią, Joan Roca, Andoni Aduriz, Josean Alija, etc - with a video and a description of all the Amazonian ingredients, by clicking HERE.
