Algunas experiencias comienzan con un ingrediente excepcional.

Otras, con las personas que le dan sentido.

Estas fueron las palabras que dieron inicio a una tarde donde cinco chefs, sabores del Mar y una misma pasión se encontraron alrededor de una mesa para compartir su visión de Baja California.

Cada platillo fue una interpretación distinta de nuestra costa. Cada detalle, una muestra de respeto por el producto, la técnica y la hospitalidad.

Más que una tarde de comida, fue un encuentro de historias, de trayectorias y de personas que creen en el poder de la gastronomía para reunirnos.

Una experiencia que solo podía suceder aquí.
