Primavera Sound Food Trucks
Music and haute cuisine festivals They were two concepts that a priori seemed incompatible, but Spring Sound this year it offers its attendees the opportunity to pamper the palate as well as the ears.
How? Inviting ** Diego Guerrero from Madrid's DStage (two Michelin stars) , Eduardo "Lalo" Garcia of Maximum Bistrot in Mexico City, and the British Douglas McMaster of Shiloh in Brighton - considered one of the most sustainable restaurants in the world -, to set up their respective pop-up dining rooms in the facilities of Café Del Mar , located in the seaport of Parc el Fòrum. We no longer talk about Primavera Sound, but about _ Spring *** .
The festival's management had spent years trying to find a formula for creating a gastronomic offer for the increasingly demanding tastes of their faithful attendees and with this trio of aces they will be able to satisfy those who wish enrich your festival experience through taste.
Because this year you will go to Primavera Sound TO EAT
Since he left the kitchen of the exclusive Club Allard with two stars in the hands of Mary Mars (that she started washing the dishes and rose to the position of head chef based on working like a wild boar), diego warrior has never stopped ascending into the stratosphere of well-executed gastronomy presented without the corset of his previous place of work, turning his own venue, DStage, into one of the must-stops for any lover of casual avant-garde cuisine when visiting the capital.
as good Basque cook adopted by Madrid , his cuisine is based on Excelent product worked with global influences, and part of the hook for him is how much fun his customers have around his plates in his dynamic service.
Like Guerrero's successor in Allard, the Mexican Eduardo "Lalo" Garcia He also had his beginnings in the pica, climbing the rungs to become a megapro, going through outstanding kitchens such as Pujol and Le Bernardin, and reaching his own Máximo Bistrot in Mexico City on the radar of world gastronomic critics - he currently occupies the Nº39 in the list of the 50 Best Restaurants in Latin America -.
To understand where his shots are going, one of his most commented dishes are the prawns with Chicatana ant vinaigrette, sherry and serrano peppers. It will be exciting to see what he is able to do with the Mediterranean pantry.
A Douglas McMaster he cares more about how you cook than what and Silo, his local in Brighton, stands out more for its environmental and eco-sustainable commitment than by techniques and recipes, although he is not short of savoir faire tanned in kitchens like e l St John's Bread & Wine by Fergus Henderson.
If many festival-goers are starting to worry about the carbon footprint they leave when they go to festivals, McMaster, in addition to offering a memorable dining experience, appeases the guilt with its modus operandi based on this philosophy of minimal or no waste that he learned under the tutelage of Joost Bakker, “The great master of zero waste ” and that has led him to have the first 100% sustainable restaurant in the UK.

This culinary proposal is complemented by the usual varied selection of food trucks , (**Eureka Street Food**, **Mosquito Tapas**, Vegetalia , The Volovan , Warike , The Dog Is Hot …) and this year they have recruited a handful of restaurants so that the street food come with a quality seal of like The Russian Steak (burgers) , Hawker 45 (latin-asian fusion) , Mosquito Caps (Chinese) , Poké Maoli (poke bowls) , Grasshopper (ramen!) and to the delight of lovers of product cuisine, the mythical Quim De La Boqueria He will also dare to take his crazy and maximalist dishes from La Boquería market and recreate them in the Parc del Fòrum.
What would a festival gathering be without good rice? Every year several groups of friends suffer the stress of going to eat a good rice in another point of the city, sacrificing many concerts and interesting sessions that take place during the day, especially in the beach club , which starts every noon.
This year they will be able to centralize all the meetings in the venue itself around the rice dishes of Oscar Manresa , a whole figure of the Ebro Delta rice from his restaurant Kauai , which will mount its own pop-up in the Xiringuito Aperol. At last you will be able to try a good after-meal conversation and arrive on time for those early performances that are not cool to miss.
And those who fear losing the annual tradition of queuing for a hot dog from Nicks red-and-yellow stalls and enjoying this simple snorted , sleep peacefully, they won't be missing either.
WINE IN SPRING SOUND
Not only well-thought-out food feeds this news, in drink they have also fine-tuned something fine, since they will have the sommelier Cesar Canovas (Best Sommelier of Spain 2006) of the online club dedicated to wine, wineissocial , who, together with his companions David Seijas (former elBulli sommelier) and Francois Chartier (father of molecular sommelier) will be in charge of putting together a list of interesting wines to accompany the pop-ups of the guest chefs.
