“The power of the dining room” has been one of the first presentations with which the Gastronòmic Fòrum Barcelona has just begun, which is taking place at the Gran Via venue of Fira Barcelona, and will last until Wednesday. Throughout these days we will find out which is the best artisan panettone and best chocolate panettone in the country, who wins the innovation award, as well as the chef of the year in Catalonia. Directed by Pep Palau and Josep Alcaraz, the Gastronòmic Fòrum Barcelona combines the debate on the restaurant profession with food exhibitors.

One might think that when a restaurant has three Michelin stars and public recognition, it can already live don't worry and continue doing what they do (and do so well). But what is certain is that conformity is not usually linked to the character of chefs, who are always looking to come up with new ideas. Martín Berasategui and Paolo Casagrande, located at the Monument Hotel, have created a unique menu served at a single table and in a totally privileged space with practically top-down views of the kitchen (I recommend sitting near the glass). Since making this experiential table has been quite an adventure, they have put The Million. This is also what the name is Book of Wonders which tells the adventures of Marco Polo. In 1298, the traveler found himself locked in a cell after being taken prisoner by the Genoese. Paolo Casagrande drew inspiration from his compatriot to create a sensorial menu.
