Known for his character Gipsy Chef, who accumulates followers both on Canal Comer and on his social networks or on different television programs, Pablo Albuerne stars in the new episode of the Quédate a Comer podcast.
The Asturian chef opens up to explain how the bullying to which his friends had been subjected to him during adolescence has influenced his life and how what he describes as “one of the worst things that can happen to you” was the driving force behind cultivating a rich inner life and to be clear that he would always do “whatever I want as long as it makes me happy”.
Albuerne tells of his beginnings in photography, his fascination with the figure of Santi Santamaria, the lessons and disappointments he experienced from within the big restaurants, from the treatment, “as if you were shit” or the tremendous machismo with which he ran into . He also criticizes the exclusive term haute cuisine, as well as the haughty attitude of some renowned chefs or the contempt for many other very important facets of cooking, such as cooking for communities.
Albuerne talks about love, friendship or children and says that they ask him to give motivational talks for young people, “who need to be encouraged to make their own decisions and to make mistakes as many times as necessary, because here making mistakes is penalized when they are not It should be like that”.
