Description

With chefs today regularly achieving rock star status in the eyes of the Western world, it seems only natural that they should also embark on world tours from time to time. After the famed Spanish eatery El Celler de Can Roca unseated Noma to be named the best restaurant in the world by Restaurant magazine, the three Roca brothers who run it decided to shut down their business for five weeks and take their entire staff on a six-city tour. Their ambitious goal: to expand their palettes and create 57 new dishes using local flavors and ingredients as a tribute to each region. As they globetrot to Lima, Bogota, Monterrey, Mexico City, Dallas, and Houston, the tantalizing food and drink of each city takes center stage. Part mouthwatering foodie doc, part sweeping travelogue, “Cooking Up a Tribute” demonstrates how a great meal can transcend cultural divides and connect us. Food on Film Series Participating Chefs: Myles Anton, Trattoria Stella; Simon Joseph, Harvest and Gaijin; Pete Peterson, Alliance and Tapawingo.
