Pintxos Crawl with Michelin Star Chefs: MUNCHIES Guide to the Basque Country (Episode 5)

  • MUNCHIES is back in San Sebastian for a Michelin-starred chef blowout in the final installment of our Guide to the Basque Country. We’ll get a look inside the kitchen of the legendary Martín Berasategui, godfather of Basque nouvelle cuisine and holder of seven Michelin stars total in restaurants across the world.
    Finally, a trip to the Basque Country wouldn’t be complete without a night out getting pissed on Txakoli wine and stuffing your face with pintxos. And while she gets wasted, Irene is rolling deep with three more Michelin-starred chefs: Dani López, Gorka Txapartegi, and Joxe Mari Arbelaitz.

    This is not who I thought would be my favourite host, but girl, you are fantastic!

    • @HugsmadeDrugs
      @HugsmadeDrugs 9 років тому +2

      ***** Yes she is great, but she also gets very impacient and starts annoying the chefs at some times.

    • @HugsmadeDrugs
      @HugsmadeDrugs 9 років тому

      ***** yes because they can't do anything more, I speak spanish so i can clearly see and understand that the chefs are getting somewhat uncomfortable.
      I mean, not in the level of "Huh, what an annoying cunt" but in a way of "This aspect of her I don't like"

      For all we know, the haters may have been those obnoxious cat-callers from the car after she was at the steak restaurant! Or are cat-callers themselves.

    Como vasco que soy sólo puedo estar agradecido por estos 5 videos que nos has dedicado.
    Soy uno más de todos los vascos que estamos enamorados de nuestra tierra, de nuestra gente, de nuestra cultura.
    Por norma general, la gente que al igual que tú pasa por nuestra tierra se enamora enseguida, no sólo por la gastronomía, también por el don que tiene la gente de hacerse querer y de ofrecerse con todo el cariño a quien venga a visitarle.
    Somos un pueblo muy incomprendido que solo queremos decidir nuestro futuro y vivir en paz y libertad. Y sabiendo que has viajado alrededor del mundo, estoy seguro de que te habrás dado cuenta de que somos un país diferente.
    Gracias Irene por habernos dedicado un espacio en vuestros documentales.

    • @palabrisas
      @palabrisas 7 років тому +2

      *****
      Lo paradógico es que con tu comentario das por sentado algo que presupones e imaginas.
      Deberias preguntarte en tal caso quién es aquí el que tiene prejuicios.

    • @JavierSanchez-dn4yn
      @JavierSanchez-dn4yn 6 років тому

      Porqué peleáis? Yo soy Valenciano y Español como vosotros, y amo mi tierra como ninguna otra. Eso no implica nacionalismo, esta gente está orgullosa de su tierra al igual que yo lo estoy de la mía, y eso no significa que dejemos de ser Españoles.

    • @dankspain
      @dankspain 5 років тому +1

      Tú eres el que ha hecho la distinción como si el País Vasco fuese una región con una cultura radicalmente diferente. A poco que te muevas a otro país te das cuentas que las diferencias entre regiones en españa son mínimas. PS: Yo también soy vasco.

    This 5-part documentary on the foods and cuisine in Basque country is a culinary marvel. One of the most detailed and complete food documentaries I have ever seen. It did not hurt, of course, that the show was blessed with a charming and very competent guide, Irene. Or that the Basque region has one of the greatest concentration of Michelin-star chefs in the world: the result of the Basque people's obsession with good food, both by preserving centuries-old traditions, and by experimenting outrageously with the biochemistry of the edible.

  • @ander4163
    @ander4163 3 роки тому +11

    Actually San Sebastian is the City with highest density of Michelin stars per person, and I think the second one with the most, only behind tokyo

  • @RossHeiney
    @RossHeiney 9 років тому +9

    Like a teenager, I'm in love with everything Basque! I want to quit my job and move to the region to cook in any one of those restaurants. This one, by far, was my favorite series, yet. Keep this going, and don't change a thing. Keep the same crew, and send them all over Iberia.

  • @jonasshort9549
    @jonasshort9549 2 роки тому +1
