  • Twin brothers, both chefs. After college, they go their separate ways. One stays in Spain, and the other to the UK. Eventually they would reunite in Barcelona, join forces, and take the Spanish culinary landscape by storm. In 2018, they open a restaurant, and by 2022, they have all three Michelin stars.
    In this episode, we will dine at Barcelona’s elite 3 Michelin star restaurant run by twin chefs.
    They are the Hermanos brothers: Javier and Sergio Torres and their restaurant called Cocina Hermanos Torres.

    Those custom sneakers are such a cool detail. It sets the scene plus it's the best possible excuse too allow your servers too wear sneakers in a 3-star restaurant, which is a major game changer on a long service.

      Most of these restaurants aren't that crazy expensive to eat at. The majority of the money comes from the drinks menu. Even then the lists are curated by some of the best sommeliers in the world; the cheapest bottle of wine on the list is still on the list and it is there for a reason. There's nothing wrong with trying to have a good time on a budget.

    I like that you give context to the location of each restaurant. For example, I came here to hear your review of food, but the little story about the Michelin guide and that the restaurant was previously a tire shop was very nice to know. Recently found this Channel and when watching your older videos and later reading the comments and constructive criticism, I noticed that you took them to heart in the following videos and improved on said things which is very rare to see today IMO and find it very inspiring. Keep up the good work.

    I really love the direction you are taking this channel, Alexander. Its more of a playful spirit rather than what 99% of the other channels are doing. You really humanize the experience and break that myth that fine dining is a "snobby" environment.
    I especially love that you showcase the employees at the restaurant too. That before and after shot of the sommelier was a fantastic comparison.
    Really cool spot. Would definitely check it out the next time I'm in Barca. Thank you for the video sir!
