The Michelin Guide toss out all the stops in its first century of life in Spain and introduced the new 2010 guidance in a crowded event at the Mercado de San Miguel, emotionally charged and some disappointment. The big winner of the night, Joan Roca finally received well-deserved and expected the third star. Joan, who recently interviewed conmuchagula.com, he told us after receiving his star, "This is a recognition that for us comes at a memorable year. As if this third star is going to change their way of work put acknowledges: "We are dear but that attention produces a certain vertigo.
Nor would it have been nice if it would have given the restaurant Andoni Luis Aduriz, nothing happens by the third to give more in the same issue, but this time not to be. A nervous expectant listening Paco Roncero, Director of Maps Guides and Fernando Rubiato, had finally received his second star, a situation similar to that experienced by Casa Martial Arriondas, Asturias. Chapter of a single star, the most applauded were Diverxo of Madrid, La Broche and Kabuki Wellington, with its Japanese cuisine has become the first Spanish foreign cuisine restaurant that has received a star. Nor can complain Ramon Freixa, before the year of setting up his restaurant in Madrid already has his.
As if it were the Oscars, on the night of the stars of Wednesday, 25 November we were all: editors, writers, all TVs, radios ... Of course, conmuchagula.com could not miss the big night of Spanish gastronomy. Nobody wanted to miss the culinary event of the year, including Juli Soler Ferran Adria partner (who did not attend) was nervous. "I should fear that they shall take away a star? I think not. Different chefs offered their mini plates in different positions, the most popular Kabuki: Great sushi with bacon and that of coke, Mario Sandoval, a teacher with the mushrooms. Pouring Champagne at the party Michelin cava just.
This year's guide comes with a facsimile edition of the first guide was published in Spain in 1910, that served to help drivers get to know the restaurants obviously had no GPS. She also told Christian Delhaye, president of maps and guides, initially each country had one color - yellow-Spain but, when it began to fill in colors of red decided to put them all. Also in the last edition of the guide I get to 23 countries and sold 1.2 million copies, also the first time Tokyo has more stars in the Guide to Paris, perhaps the explanation is in Japan's capital that has 200,000 restaurnt by 40,000 from the French. Also made clear in the presentation by the Rubiato own election system that is rigorous and serious, and that no stinginess in giving the stars to Spanish restaurants because they are Spanish inspectors who give the stars in Spain.
Of all the stars that this year has been off the culinary universe, the corner of Juan Pablo Felipe is probably one that most have been discussed, perhaps because it was to be adapted to the crisis has not been easy, but they have made other ...
There was a good anniversary menu, served by Santi Santamaria, Oscar Velasco, Sergi Arola, Pepe Rodriguez, Diego Guerrero, Mario Sandoval, Paco Roncero, Fernando Arellano, David Munoz and Ricardo Sanz de Castro, has been much joy and expectation, and the finally got a bag (of the fruit before) with some gifts and the Guide, there is a taste of work well done, making this guide that takes a hundred years, even with its faults may be the most reliable and prestigious in the world .

Dear Angela,
We greatly appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve the web possible.
Providing a website in several languages is costly in time and money we can not afford at the moment.
According to the translations are a little "Indianness", but the technology is improving slowly and we prefer this option above all, for those who want it have a basis on which to get an idea of the topic.
In any case, is a topic we will discuss and turn off if others are agreed.
A greeting and thanks for reading and send us your comments

I have ventured to give the Italian translation button. While it might serve to get an idea of the subject matter, how the whole machine translation, unfortunately is plagued with bugs. The reason that drives me to leave a comment is that, I suppose, to the authors of this site it is important to reach users of other languages. If this is viable not know, but I think that if there is communication, it must be as clear as possible, since it has added value and help the environment, an electronic journal in this case up to the next level.
pd i fratelli Viva Rock!
