This week Alvaro Clavijo, head chef at El Chato (named 2025’s Best Restaurant in Latin America by World's 50 Best) sits down with David to share the roller coaster journey that led him into fine dining. He talks about his beginnings as a dishwasher in Paris, lying to his mother about going to culinary school, accidentally giving his family food poisoning, serving “ants cream”, purple potatoes, how to cook termites, and so much more.
