Pasapalabra adds new guests week after week under the direction of Roberto Leal.
On this occasion, the Antena 3 program has four new faces from television such as Neus Sanz, Marta Poveda, Santi Rodríguez and Pablo Albuerne. Who? Perhaps the name Gipsy Chef sounds more familiar to you because of his presence on the program Bestial! of RTVE and especially for his YouTube channel with more than 100,000 subscribers.
Pablo Albuerne (Oviedo, 1976) shows cooking from a different and very informal point of view. Trained between a hotel school and his grandmother’s recipes, he worked for a long time with the chef Santi Santamaría, whom he discovered after reading one of his books.
His way of communicating is different from other chefs in the sector, perhaps because he also has a past as a wedding photographer, and constantly improvises in front of the stove.
It currently has two restaurants to which it applies the Gipsy Chef seal. At the La Zorra restaurant on the beach in Sitges (Barcelona), which has 4 points out of 5 on TripAdvisor, it offers Mediterranean cuisine with seasonal products where the specialty is rice (zorra in reverse).
While at the El Salto location, in the center of Sitges, they are committed to more informal, more American food, but maintaining quality. Tripadvisor customers rate the establishment with 4.5 points and place the restaurant within the top 20 in the Catalan town.
Gipsy Chef’s anecdote came a year ago in his first participation in Pasapalabra. When the chef was introduced by Roberto Leal he was more than happy to be invited to the program.
“I’m freaking out about being here,” confessed the famous chef. “My mother told me if I was sure about coming here, I said yes and that I would be ridiculed by the family everywhere,” Gipsy Chef himself added ironically.
