Chef's Night Out: El Comidista

We follow Mikel López Itturriaga, editor of El Comidista, Spain’s most beloved food blog, throughout the many neighborhoods of Barcelona. We drank lots of wine, ate a lot of fresh seafood, and capped the night off with some sweetbreads.

On this episode of Chef's Night Out, we follow Mikel López Iturriaga, editor of El Comidista, Spain's most beloved food blog, which is part of El Pais, Spain's most popular newspaper. Now that we have established that this is the most popular thing ever, let's get to the important part: where and what they ate on this episode. Even though the paper is based in Madrid, Mikel and his band of bloggers live in Barcelona, the city that has no shortage of good anything, especially mid-range eating establishments, which is perfectly illustrated by this episode.

The first stop, Bodega Montferry, is a traditional wine bar that was recently revamped by three friends who have transformed it into a culinary destination in the Sants neighborhood. After Bodega Montferry, Mikel took us over to dinner at La Pubilla, a world-renowned restaurant with notoriety that has been steadily rising because of their interpretation of traditional Catalan food. The night ended at Coure, where Mikel enjoyed some of his classic go-to dishes, but then tried his hand at sautéing sweetbreads dish to serve to his friend for his feat of cognitive functioning that is the hallmark of our show. Enjoy.
