Apparently it started yesterday, also runs today, and finishes tomorrow. I too saw something about it on TV. Seems Spain is towards the front of the whole fusion cuisine scene. I'll take traditional food over fusion-anything, anyday.
Saludos, MadridMan

(tongue-in-cheek) Fusion Cooking is when you take ordinary, traditional food elements and mix them with things with which they aren't usually seen. For instance, garbanzos with chocolate chip ice cream - flambé. Or hard-boiled eggs boiled in Cava and then sprinkled with candy-cane chips. Or maybe a paper-thin steak bent-and-tented over a bed or heated jelly beans with a garnish of popcorn on top. Now THAT'S "Fusion Cooking"! (anyone using the above "recipes" MUST give me, MadridMan, credit)
Saludos, MadridMan

Obviously, I'm not a big fan of fusion cooking. Spanish food, as it is, is too good to mess with. Plus, as is MOST often the case, you pay for "presentation & sensation" more than for the actual food. So what happens, you pay a small fortune in a stylish restaurant, get served a beautiful, tiny quantity of "food", pay the check with your credit card (because you have to - no one carries that much cash on them), and then as you're walking out the door you turn to your dining partner and say, "That was great!! Shall we get a pizza on the way home?"

yes It has its followers but its catching on all over, when you see the list from UK Restaurant magazine as the tops in the world more than half are fusion oriented, so its here to stay. Its taking your culinary senses to another limit instead of the usual stuff. Not that the usual stuff is not good, just another way to cook it and enjoy it. Anyway the event was a success once again, see Rosario Pino ,12 resto Piñera ,its on my list for next visit http://www.restaurantepinera.com/chao chao
