In the first edition of Madrid fusion The main protagonist was Ferran Adrià, then on the cusp of world cuisine. Twenty -three years later, he has been the protagonist again. The tribute that this international summit has given to the gastronomic revolution of … Thirty years has allowed him to be in the center of everything. With the same or more enthusiasm than in those times of splendor of ElbulliFerran has launched numerous messages, many questions have been asked and recalled the values that marked that revolution: honesty, generosity and thanks.
Among those messages I stay with two: to help young people enhance their talent and, especially, the need to abandon the obsession to seek a phenomenon similar to the one he starred. Adrià was in the two places of greatest interest of this Madrid Fusion 2025, the main auditorium and, above all, in the space called Dreams, which was serving its second year and has already become a fundamental point of Congress.
A success that small area, crowded during the three days, where topics of maximum interest have been raised and discussed, from artificial intelligence and its applications in the kitchen to others more focused on the day to day as the debate between letter and menu Tasting, the influence of chefs on social networks or healthy gastronomy.
Madrid fusion grows year after year. In this one that has just finished, more congressmen, visitors and exhibitors have been seen than ever. And also more activities. Six different scenarios that complicate a lot of the work of those who closely follow the Congress since the activities overlap and necessarily must be chosen between them. What had to be lost was the presence in the auditorium of a good part of the protagonists of that great change that originated three decades ago. There was an image for the story.
And there was also a name that will hear a lot from now on: Axel Smythof the Simpar Restaurant, of Santiago, elected revelation chef and winner of the contest of the best croquette, long the most media of those who take place annually.
