It does not pass without commenting on the fake ‘chef’ case that appeared on the ‘Joc de cartes’ (TV-3) program. There were ‘gourmet’ and ‘gourmet’ Marc Ribas He introduced us to the four entrants who aspired to ‘Vallés Occidental’s Best Young Chef’ when he began to realize that one of them as ‘Chief’ was more fake than a tough Sevillian. And the rest of the contestants noticed, too.
about this young man Sergio Kobaleda, The person who introduces himself as the ‘chef’ and head chef at the Masía Can Sidro restaurant in Palau-Solità. “Look, your jalapenos are burnt”I was telling one of the other contestants and it turned out to be burnt sugar, not jalapeno. “This ajoblanco tastes like too much garlic”, warned with a disgusted face and Marc Ribas He asked: “Do you know how Ajoblanco is made?” And no, I didn’t know.
He also didn’t know what gastronomy called leche de tigre—a good ceviche sauce—and was about to send another competitor to the hospital, who was also allergic to milk and beef protein. They had to give me a truckload of antihistamines to avoid the beef marrow gravy and the instant redness. Or was everyone aware of that? Sergio as ‘chief’ he was a fraud and even his own Marc Ribas she had to face him and let him go: “You tricked us! You’re not a cook!”
But the show continued and the good part came 48 hours later, when they were interviewed on ‘Tot es mou’ Sergio. Ah! It was very descriptive. “I see no harm in going to the program without the ‘chief’. It’s just a reality show. Does anyone remember who won the previous edition? Noone. Instead, with what I do, everyone is talking about me and the restaurant I represent.” effectively. Sergio as a ‘chef’ he will be a birria, but he knows how television works and how to make excellent use of it.
I don’t know how to sit Mark Ribas, that he is a serious cook, that a dishonest ‘chef’ is trying to trick him. Moreover, the program always continues calmly with that fake contestant. But of course, who can fire a scammer for ‘Joc de cartes’ with a massive 23.5% viewership share and over 470,000 viewers? A great lesson in what television is: The more cheats, the better.
