The Dish: Chef Santiago Lastra on creating Mexican dishes using British ingredients
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards – a victory for Spain (yahoo.com)
It was a relatively poor year for the United Kingdom, with just two restaurants finishing in the top 50, down from three last year. Kol in Marylebone, run by Mexican chef Santiago Lastra, jumped from 23rd to 17th, making it the highest British restaurant in an awards some consider to be the highest accolade in global gastronomy. “The achievement belongs to our brilliant team first and foremost,” says Lastra. “And also to Mexico – to its traditions, people, and culture that never ceases to inspire us – and to our farmers and foragers for all the opportunities to explore Britain’s landscape and produce.”
Chef Santiago Lastra was named GQ'S magazine chef of the year for 2021. He creates Mexican food without traditional Mexican ingredients. Jeff Glor sat down with the chef and experienced what it was like to eat at England's only Michelin star Mexican restaurant.
