The Brazilian Madrid Fusion

[AlexForbes]

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
